Wow Melvin down 70? Whatever sliver of hope they had of recovering with the bailout is gone if that’s true. They might as well just throw in the towel and shut down

 

What I don't get is...why didn't they close out their short when GME started picking up momentum, say when it ran up to $50+? I thought all these HFs closely tracked WSB sentiment?

 

Anyone have any perspective on how quants are doing right now? For the sake of my industry hoping most short positions got closed when borrowing costs got too high to justify trades.

Curious whether any funds out there went long GME throughout all this

 

Sorry, aside from those two. I meant WS firms, like how Loeb & Icahn went long HLF after Ackman's short presentation. Volume seems to suggest some big players on the long side. Guess we'll find out when more performance numbers start leaking

 

Hilarious given how hard everyone on this board shills levered long short. These guys all got hosed by some internet bros because they crowd into similar positions and lever up and had to unwind like crazy yesterday to avoid getting btfo.
