$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$Personal opinions on investing in AMC

Tl;dr - Hodl and make some serious cash. MOASS is inevitable unless one of, if not the greatest fraud the world has ever seen takes place in front of millions of retail investors.

Hey all, it’s been awhile. No, I didn’t make a typo with ‘hodl’. Yes, I’m still invested in AMC. I just don’t check the price, post comments and trade everyday because I’m an investor and not a day-trader. Outside of the occasional casual investing, I have a life to live. Besides, for this stock, it’s really not necessary to gloat over fleeting minute gains till the eventual short squeeze occurs.

As usual, for all doubters and shills out there:

1. I’m currently am and will still be holding till the squeeze happens

2. I don’t mind holding for however long it might take

3. I went through the peaks and dips

4. I see and experienced the blatant manipulation

5. I understand that ALL SHARES must be covered. Naked, synthetic or otherwise

The last statement is where it gets interesting. Ever since the rise of GME & AMC saga till now. I’ve yet to see how any person from the ‘smart money’ camp, (traders, analysts, FUD spreaders, shills or otherwise) refute this particular affirmation from the Apes, which is the entire basis for the MOASS.

Apes currently hold more than 80% of the float, estimated from the roughest of calculations. Shorts need to cover. Due to this ongoing fiasco, most, if not all investors, know by now that short selling have the potential to incur infinite losses, and the number of shares held in total by retail and institutions don’t exactly tally with the total amount of shares issued that was confirmed by AMC. With the shorts constantly kicking the can down the road, unless the hedge funds and/or DTCC pull off the world’s most legendary magic trick and erase the shares from existence, how exactly are the big shorts going to cover if Apes hodl? Granted, some of the passionate Apes’ DD rallies do have really high sell prices, but can you really blame them when there’s no ceiling? The potential, is actually there. As if all investments are not speculative gambles. How sure are you that the Apple HQ would not blow up the very next day? Highly unlikely. But did you know that the Taliban would manage to take over the Kabul? Anyway, I digress..

So why then, with its infinite potential, would I even consider selling at a price where I can’t retire on? By retire, I don’t mean “never doing anything again”, I’m talking about breaking away from the corporate rat race/modern wage slavery that the majority of people are neck-deep in. Having the financial freedom to do what you actually want to do in life instead of being tied to a job just to barely survive. I’m am not and will not ask you to invest your entire life savings banking on this phenomenon to actually happen, but every time you make an investment, isn’t it an opportunity at making more money than you currently have, for whatever reason you would want to justify it with?

**** Remember to rest your eyes ****

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s logically view some of the common comments the people who think that the short squeeze won’t happen use:

Main FUD: ‘Nobody is going to cover at 800k (900k next month) per share’

Yeah, most of the crazy diamond hand apes are not going to sell you their shares at a loss with joke prices like anything below $_____ either. Glass half full, half empty. I’m not the one that need the shares to cover their positions. Just like how COVID pre-lockdown temporarily raised the prices of toilet paper or groceries, shortage of supply results in greater demand. Hedge funds have tons of money and positions that they shorted. I don’t have a lot of money but they would probably require my shares (and a lot of the other shares) to cover their short positions. They need to pay to maintain their short positions and extend their deadline with whatever sorcery they use. I need to pay my bills, buy AMC and hodl. The pressure is on them. You do the math.

Common FUD: ‘Use your brains and logic! How much money are there in existence?! Who is providing it?! How large is the global economy and market cap?!!! This is not shilling, it’s just f**king common sense!!!!!’

Hey, I’ll let y’all in on an insane secret - it’s not my problem. Don’t make your problem my problem. I like the stock. I think that there’s something sentimental about going to theatres that no amount of streaming services can provide. The thing is, big shorts could totally have covered before. They made a decision to double down on their positions. I’m not going to take any of the responsibility that they should be shouldering because they gambled and screwed up. For the first and probably the last time, they are realising that there are actual risks to their investments despite having immense wealth, just like the rest of us ‘dumb money’. They botched the shorting game that they dictated for decades and suddenly the bed of roses are full of prickly thorns. Here’s a really exciting (or terrifying depending on which camp you’re in) food for thought: Would they be bailed out like the AIG? Or would all this be just a bubble that would fizzle out?

**** Another short break ****

In conclusion, the people who hodl decide what the price to sell is. Not everyone can afford to wait to that point; not everyone can sell at that point. However, the big shorts know that our emotions are the weakest link and they will try their absolute hardest to shake you up. It’s just like poker with really high stakes. You’ve got a royal flush and you know they are probably bluffing, but the amount of chips of the table and the consequences of losing always manages to cast a nagging doubt at the back of the mind. Or the casino can decide to flip the entire table and start running, who really knows tbh?

So the next time you are hit with: ‘Once the big players pull out, you are left holding the bag. And they won’t let the system crash from which they profit’ type of comment, if you are invested in this stock, look at the amount of shares that are in excess, know that the price is ultimately set by you whenever you decide to sell and literally just ask them/remind yourself:

How exactly are the big players going to cover if the majority of the retail hodl? How are they going to get away and leave all of the shareholders as bag holders without some major fraud? Why is the SEC, whose primary purpose is to enforce the law against market manipulation, condoning hedge funds’ FTDs but would allow exchanges to margin call retail investors if they have an over leveraged position? If it’s really worth as much as they say, if the shorts have already cycled through, and if they are not going to benefit from the short, why are they trying to make the people who hodl, sell? Since when were they concerned with ‘dumb money’?

I’m tired of seeing and hearing the bullshit. Life is unfair, the world is run by money and decisions which is concentrated in the minority of the population, so this is just what I’m going to do/can do about it. The hedge funds are obviously way over leveraged, yet they keep finding new shares to ‘borrow from’, so I’ll just accumulate and wait for them to fold. It really isn’t rocket science to know what would happen when they finally fall in line. We might be standing in the wake of an unprecedented chapter in financial history, and quite possibly the one of, if not the largest, wealth transfer/revolution the world has ever seen. That is probably why the constant negativity are relentless. If the Apes do succeed, the control they used to have over the markets will be relinquished, and that would actually hurt them more than any amount of money they lost. I don’t think they even know what it feels like to be broke and powerless, so any chance to level the already unfair playing field, especially at their own rigged game, is quite literally, poetic justice.
