You think GME , AMC or OPEN gonna beat them in long run?

I saw few post last week some people “investing” in these companies on automatic such as weekly or monthly.

Edit 1:- all GME holder making theories in comments like their balance sheet will “this that”but still, you really think GME will beat Google in 5 or 10 years in returns?

Serious questions for all the people buying/holding AMC stock… Why?

Don’t they have a 5 Billion dollar debt? I also read that the interest on some of those loans are averaging 9-12% annual interest.

I don’t even want to talk about their CEO. So I see so much copium in the AMC sub it’s wild, I don’t understand what they are thinking.

r/amcstock on Reddit: A fun morning with Google Bard. Predicts AMC price target in 2025
May 7, 2023 -

So, basically, I played around with Google Bard for a while, and got it into the idea that we were just making a movie about the AMC Saga. I kept asking it to out and get actual data to support the screen play and dialogue. As we continued on with back and forth dialogue about how this movie would play out, I kept asking it to keep some of the relevant information in a report that would be presented by our characters in the movie. While I realize that this level of AI is just a bing search on steroids, it was still fun and kept me entertained while I enjoyed some Taco Bell at my desk. Below is the report that I asked it to keep track of as we went along.... Now, the one thing I found interesting, when I asked it to pretend to be BARD in the movie and Asked it for actual predictions of AMC Price targets in 2025, it actually did it.. That's at the bottom. But overall, I am impressed that it went to dig up Social media reports on the subject of "Hedgies r fuk". I was also impressed that some of it's factual data was, actually factual. It does take some creative liberties on the way, like in one part of our movie, it takes the liberty of driving up the price of AMC as a citadel employee:

Sure, here is the dialogue where John tells Rick and Chad that there is no way the stock is going to squeeze, and Chad and Rick give their reasons why they think it is the right play:

John: Guys, I love the enthusiasm, but there is no way this stock is going to squeeze.

Chad: We understand that you're skeptical, John, but we think there are three good reasons why this is the right play.

Rick: First, the short interest in AMC is still very high. This means that there are a lot of short sellers who are exposed to significant losses if the price of the stock goes up.

Chad: Second, the retail investor community is still very engaged in AMC. These investors are not going to give up easily, and they are willing to keep buying the stock, even if the price goes up.

Rick: Third, there is a lot of potential for positive catalysts for AMC. For example, the company is starting to reopen its theaters, and it is also developing new streaming and NFT businesses.

John: I see your points, but I'm still not convinced. I think the risk of losing money on this trade is too high.

Chad: We understand your concerns, John, but we think the potential reward is worth it. If we can drive the price of AMC up, we could make a lot of money.

Rick: We're not saying that this is a guaranteed win, but we think the odds are in our favor. We're willing to put our money where our mouths are, and we're confident that we can make this trade work.

John: I'll think about it.

The report

****************************************************************

Sure, we can add that to the report. Here is the updated report with the fact about the AMC stock debacle:

Introduction

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) is a leading theatrical exhibition company with over 10,000 screens in over 50 countries. The company has been in the news recently due to the potential for a short squeeze. A short squeeze occurs when a stock that has been heavily shorted experiences a sharp increase in price, forcing the short sellers to cover their positions at a loss.

Investigations and Inquiry

There are currently several lawsuits and investigations ongoing against AMC. These include a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company misled investors about its financial condition, and an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into possible violations of securities laws. The potential impact of these lawsuits and investigations on the stock price is difficult to predict, but they could potentially lead to a sharp increase in the price of AMC stock.

Theories and Facts

There are a number of theories about why AMC is a potential short squeeze candidate. These include:

  • The high short interest in AMC. As of March 15, 2023, the short interest in AMC was 19.9%, which is very high compared to the average short interest of 2.4% for all stocks. This means that there are a lot of short sellers who are exposed to significant losses if the price of AMC stock goes up.

  • The retail investor community. AMC is a popular stock among retail investors, who have been buying the stock in large numbers in recent months. This buying pressure could help to drive the price of AMC stock up, even if there are a lot of short sellers in the market.

  • The potential for positive catalysts. AMC is starting to reopen its theaters, and it is also developing new streaming and NFT businesses. These catalysts could help to drive the price of AMC stock up in the future.

  • The short interest in AMC stock reached a high of 226% in January 2022, which is one of the highest short interest levels ever recorded for a stock.

Estimates on Synthetics

The estimate of 2.5 billion synthetic shares in AMC stock was first made by a group of retail investors who call themselves the "Ape Army". The Ape Army used a number of different methods to arrive at this estimate, including:

  • Analyzing the number of shares that were traded on the day of the January 2022 short squeeze. The Ape Army found that the number of shares traded on that day was much higher than the number of shares that were actually available to trade. This suggested that there were a significant number of synthetic shares in existence.

  • Analyzing the option chain for AMC stock. The Ape Army found that there were a large number of call options that were open for a price that was much higher than the current price of the stock. This suggested that some investors were betting that the price of the stock would go up significantly, which could only happen if there were a large number of synthetic shares in existence.

  • Analyzing the data from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Ape Army found that the number of shares that were reported to be shorted by hedge funds was much higher than the number of shares that were actually available to short. This suggested that some hedge funds were using naked shorts, which could create synthetic shares.

The Ape Army's estimate of 2.5 billion synthetic shares in AMC stock has been disputed by some, but it has also been supported by other analysts. It is important to note that the estimate is just that, an estimate. There is no concrete evidence that there are actually that many synthetic shares in existence. However, the methods used by the Ape Army to arrive at their estimate are sound, and it is possible that there could be a significant number of synthetic shares in AMC stock.

On Balance Volume

On Balance Volume (OBV) is a technical indicator that measures the cumulative volume of a stock. OBV is calculated by adding the volume on up days and subtracting the volume on down days. A rising OBV indicates that there is more buying pressure than selling pressure, while a falling OBV indicates that there is more selling pressure than buying pressure.

Numerical data about OBV

The OBV for AMC has been rising since the beginning of 2022. As of March 15, 2023, the OBV for AMC is at 12.8 million. This means that there has been more buying pressure than selling pressure over the past year.

How OBV is good for AMC investors

A rising OBV is a good sign for AMC investors because it suggests that the stock is in demand. This could lead to a short squeeze, which would cause the price of the stock to go up significantly.

In addition, a rising OBV can also be a sign of bullish sentiment among investors. This means that investors are confident that the stock price will go up in the future.

Social Media Comments on Market Makers and Hedge Funds short positions.

  • Andrew Left, founder of Citron Research, tweeted on January 26, 2022, that he was "bleeding" on his AMC short position.

  • Roaring Kitty, a market maker employee who goes by the name "Roaring Kitty" on YouTube, posted a video on February 1, 2022, in which he said that he was "seeing a lot of fear" among hedge funds that had shorted AMC.

  • A former employee of Citadel Securities, a hedge fund and market maker, posted a series of tweets on February 2, 2022, in which he said that he was "hearing rumblings" that some hedge funds were getting "margin called" on their AMC short positions.

  • A hedge fund manager named Jim Chanos tweeted on February 10, 2022, that he was "concerned" about the potential for a short squeeze in AMC stock.

  • A market maker employee who goes by the name "SqueezeMetrics" on Twitter posted a series of tweets on February 14, 2022, in which he said that he was "seeing a lot of buying pressure" in AMC stock and that he was "worried" about the potential for a short squeeze.

  • A tweet from a user named u/AMC_ShortSqueeze on January 25, 2023, that said, "Hedge funds are starting to panic about their AMC short positions. I'm seeing a lot of fear and desperation in their tweets."

  • A post on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets on February 1, 2023, that said, "I'm hearing from my sources that some hedge funds are getting margin called on their AMC short positions. This is just the beginning."

  • A tweet from a user named u/SqueezeMetrics on February 14, 2023, that said, "The buying pressure on AMC stock is getting intense. I'm starting to get worried about the hedge funds that are short the stock."

  • A tweet from a user named u/AMC_ShortSqueeze on June 1, 2023, that said, "The short interest in AMC stock is still very high. I'm starting to think that some hedge funds are going to get margin called soon."

  • A post on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets on June 15, 2023, that said, "I'm hearing from my sources that some hedge funds are starting to close their short positions in AMC stock. This is a sign that they're getting worried."

  • A tweet from a user named u/SqueezeMetrics on June 29, 2023, that said, "The buying pressure on AMC stock is getting even more intense. I'm starting to get really worried about the hedge funds that are short the stock."

Conclusion

Based on the information presented in this report, we believe that AMC is a potential short squeeze candidate. The high short interest, the retail investor community, the potential for positive catalysts, the company's undervalued stock price, and the rising OBV all suggest that the price of AMC stock could go up significantly in the future. However, it is important to remember that there is no guarantee that a short squeeze will occur, and investors should do their own research before making any investment decisions.

The part that actually surprised me:

*****************************************************************************

Sure, here is how I would respond as Bard:

Rick: "Guys, Bard has some data for us. After an all nighter. I never thought we were going to get an answer on the price target for AMC in 2025, but here it is:"

Chad: "Let's hear it."

Bard: "According to my analysis, the price of AMC stock in 2025 could be as high as $100 per share. This is based on a number of factors, including the high short interest in the stock, the strong retail investor support, and the company's recent financial performance.

However, it is important to note that this is just an estimate. The actual price of the stock in 2025 could be higher or lower, depending on a number of factors.

Here are some of the factors that could affect the price of AMC stock in 2025:

  1. The overall performance of the stock market.

  2. The performance of the movie theater industry.

  3. The release of new movies by AMC.

  4. Any mergers or acquisitions involving AMC.

I will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as new information becomes available."

r/amcstock on Reddit: Top 5 Reasons to Why 2022 is the Year of AMC (long DD)
August 28, 2019 -

Introduction

I bought my first AMC shares (248 of them) on January 29th for the price of $14.50. I had no idea what I was doing, as this was in the middle of the GME/AMC frenzy at the time. I work in the video game industry and it was impossible to avoid everything that was happening with GME, but at that point GME was trading at $379, and I felt that I missed the train. AMC however was looking to be the "next thing" and I dove in. Two trading days later the stock closed at $7.92, and I more or less expected that I lost out on everything.

But rather than admitting defeat I started reading up on things, and trying to understand just what the fuck was going on. At this point I found Trey's Trades, which helped out a lot in the beginning with explaining stuff, while also keeping morale up. I started averaging down, buying more and more shares, and during the June craze I was up almost 300% with 800+ shares. But I didn't sell, not a single share. And after the June craze I continued buying, but by now I was averaging up. I'm now at 1100+ shares with an average of $21.

2021 was insane, especially for me as a Swede being exposed to the American stock market, while also being somewhat of a noob when it comes to stocks. But I also feel I have learned so much during this year, and it's also why I'm convinced I made the right choice in continuing to buy the stock, and also not to sell a single share even while we were riding high.

Here is my top five reasons to NOT sell AMC until it hits MOASS.

1. Trading volume

AMC has a free float of 513.45 million shares. You should also remember that a year ago the oustanding shares was 224.33 million, and in January 2020 it was 103.85 million. The pandemic was rough on AMC as a company, and there's no hiding that they needed capital badly to keep things running while hedge funds were trying to push the stock to $0. Either way, the total volume traded for AMC in 2021 was a staggering 28.4 billion (with a B). That means that the entire free float was traded more than 55 times over the last year, and more than the entire free float was traded every week (on average).

How on earth can anyone at SEC look at those numbers and think "yep, that seems like a healthy and not manipulated stock". Let's compare to the most popular stocks in the US:

Stock Free float Total volume in 2021 Number of times free float traded
AMC 513.45 million 28.4 billion 55.3 times
Tesla 809.17 million 6.87 billion 8.5 times
Apple 16.39 billion 22.72 billion 1.4 times
Amazon 456.3 million 849.8 million 1.9 times
Microsoft 7.5 billion 6.53 billion 0.9 times
GME 62.66 million 3.55 billion 55.8 times

Both AMC and GME traded more than 55 times their entire free float during the year, which is nothing short of insane. Again: how anyone working with regulating the market think this is the sign of something good is crazy to me.

2. Off-exchange trading

It's also no secret that AMC is heavily abused in various off-exchanges. Why? No one can give a straight answer to that, and no one official seems to want to comment on it either. We can again compare AMC to the other popular stocks in the US market:

Stock 30 Day Average (Off exchanges + Cboe EDGX, Cboe BZX, MEMX)
AMC 73.02%
Tesla 55.23%
Apple 60.68%
Amazon 47.74%
Microsoft 46.59%
GME 56.06%

Again: what the hell is going on here? Why is AMC not being traded on lit exchanges to the same extent as other stocks? What are they hiding from us, and why is it OK for trades to be "hidden" from everyone else? The common excuse for off exchanges (and dark pools) is that institutions can do their big trades without it affecting the price on a daily basis, but are you telling me that 73% of trades for AMC are done by large institutions? Which brings me to...

3. Institutions Abusing the Stock

Insitutions have been loading up on AMC throughout the year in huge numbers. And, unfortunately, these are most likely not our friends. If you're curious why we're stuck at 75-80% utilization it's because the largest institutions are happily lending out their shares for shorting. Again we can compare AMC to other stocks:

Stock Top institutional owner Top five institutional owners combined ownership Change from previous quarter in percentage from five largest owners
AMC Vanguard Group, Inc. (8.93%) 20.39% + 130.9%
Tesla Vanguard Group, Inc. (5.83%) 17.47% + 2%
Apple Vanguard Group, Inc. (7.31%) 22.54% - 0.3%
Amazon Vanguard Group, Inc. (6.19%) 19.03% + 6.8%
Microsoft Vanguard Group, Inc. (7.75%) 21.27% + 1.8%
GME Vanguard Group, Inc. (7.65%) 17.59% + 19.34%

A common theme here when looking at both the largest institutional owner, and also the percentage owned when combining the five largest institutional owners. However, when it comes to AMC the institutions are just adding and adding to their positions, especially during Q3-Q4 2021 (latest figures).

4. Failure to Deliver (FTD)

Not every FTD is a naked short, but every naked short is a FTD. Again we have AMC as a clear outlier when it comes to FTD, and at one point it peaked at more than 27 million FTD for one day (January 27th). That means more than 27 million shares that the brokers were unable to find, even though there were transactions. Again, let's compare AMC to our other stocks, and the latest FTD date available (December 14th), as well as those companies' peak day with FTD:

Stock Amount of FTD (December 14th) Peak FTD on a single day in 2021
AMC 405 503 27 693 649 (7.32% of shares outstanding that date)
Tesla 494 772 471 (0.95% of shares outstanding)
Apple 36 407 8 930 601 (0.054% of shares outstanding)
Amazon 43 70 348 (0.016% of shares outstanding)
Microsoft 43 185 371 272 (0.00049% of shares outstanding)
GME 33 405 2 099 572 (3.21% of shares outstanding that date)

Imagine having a day with trades where more than 27.6 million shares being unable to be found, representing more than 7% of all shares oustanding in the company (at that date). And that's just one day in the entire year, AMC have had several multi-million FTD days without anyone raising an eyebrow. In fact, between 6/18 and 7/2 AMC had consistently FTD between two and five million every day.

5. Public Sentiment

AMC is huge. AMC has grown above and beyond what any of us thought back in January a year ago. And this is causing huge headaches for those betting against it. All of you browsing this subreddit is certainly familiar with this, with shills, FUD, Superstonk trolls, Motley Fool, Gasparino, and so on. But here are our key victories this year:

  1. Retail investors own 90% of the free float, according to CEO Adam Aron in an interview with CNBC in December. (Source)

  2. AMC is Yahoo's number one trending ticker this year, with a staggering 30 million more views than second place (Tesla). (Source)

  3. AMC is number 7 on Google's top 10 trending searches in 2021. (Source)

  4. AMC is the fifth most owned US stock on the Swedish market exchange Avanza, just behind Microsoft. (Source)

  5. US domestic box office was over $2 billion for Q4 2021, indicating a strong return to theaters even though the majority of theaters are running at reduced capacity due to Covid-19. Compared to the last non-pandemic year, 2019, box office numbers are down 28.6%, which considering the circumstances is not shabby at all and a sign of things turning around. (Source)

  6. Another great point brought up by user SPNarwhal is that the number of movies released to theaters in 2021 was less than half of those released in 2019, which makes the comparison to pre-pandemic even more silly. AMC is also getting into its own popcorn business outside of theaters, and 2022 will no doubt be a great fundamental boost to the company. (Popcorn source)

  7. AMC was the top gaining stock of 2021, with +1,239.8%. (Source)

  8. AMC was the most mentioned stock ticker on Twitter in 2021. (Source)

  9. Motley Fool wrote roughly 1,410 articles about AMC in 2021. (Source)

Final thoughts

I'm not going anywhere. It's crazy to look back at this year and see all the blatant manipulation, short and distort by media and short sellers, conflicts of interest, zero fucks given by the SEC, so many things pointing to naked shorting, and so on. And here we are, trying to rightfully get what's ours, while also saving a company in the process.

One day we'll get there, we all just need patience and keeping our hands diamond. If I can do it, so can you. Buy and hold.

Because the institutions that bet the farm on bankruptcy as a result of Covid now have realized that they’ve lost (they’ve never lost before). The only thing that they can do is continue digging the hole by perpetually creating new short positions that drive the stock down to all time lows in hopes that they can: Starve AMC of cash by preventing it from raising capital which hypothetically increases the likelihood it could file for bankruptcy -or- 2) Demoralize retail investors into exiting their positions and selling their shares which hedge funds need to cover their short positions -or- 3) Suppress it so much that it fails to meet the minimum requirement to continue to be listed and gets reduced to a penny stock (OTC) but AMC would simply conduct another reverse split before they’d allow this to happen which would in turn cause significant loss in shareholder value which then creates more tension between the company and it’s investors, all of which is great news for hedge funds They’re literally jammed up and they haven’t closed because they can’t. They’ve created more synthetic shares by continuing to suppress the price via naked shorts than actual shares that exist in the float. So even if EVERY share AMC has publicly issued to date were available for purchase at $3 ea. many institutions still could not legitimately cover their positions. The only exit for them is the one that they originally bet on - bankruptcy. When a company goes bankrupt and gets delisted, they never have to buy the shares back to cover their original positions which was the plan all along. That’s why AMC is $3 but I may have explained it like your 8.

r/wallstreetbets on Reddit: Is AMC going to $0?
January 31, 2024 -

Thinking about starting a position here, but wanted to get opinions from some fellow regards. Per the chart and latest trends, it appears AMC might be a good buy or it’s going to $0. I know this was once a coveted meme stock and its fall from glory has been exquisite, but it seems like there might be an opportunity for some huge upside potential. From what I can tell their market cap is around $875m which is near as low as it has ever been. However, the business seems to be doing decent and has a loyal customer and investor base. Now my only concern is that they will just torch this thing to $0 because they can. It has also been going down nonstop without any green days which seems extremely odd.

Anyone think it is almost time to start a position here for some upside? This thing has taken a beating and I do not see why it can’t recuperate some. I know the debt load is large, but feel the stock is undervalued.

Thank you for your time.
