AMC to the Moon??

[unconventional wisdom]

we've all heard it a million times. the latest push seems a bit different somehow. can someone explain this to me?

everyday i see the number of shares available to short change anywhere between 0 and now up to 200K and everything in between. the fee rate lately has been steadily rising. when the shares available to short was 2K the fee rate was lower. what is going on? how is the fee rate decided?

supply and demand

that's what i thought, but then why would the fee rate be lower with fewer shares available? edit, and vice versa?

edit again, to me it looks like it's possible to choose at what fee rate you are willing to lend your shares. is that possible? and if so, how?

You need a lesson from the Austrian School of Economics.

thanks! so then it is possible to choose a fee rate with some brokers? i don't think it's possible with IB, or is it?

IB does this automatically so orders simply go through when shares are available. Though they can also help manually locate shares for large traders, I think $million+. There is also some tool for pre-borrowing shares:

I have been expecting $14 AMC by the summer, when we go back to normal and people want to see movies.

Overnight AMC is up 50 cents, while the market is down.

There is a rumor that a whale whose name I don't wantto disclose, but begins with the letter P, is looking to pick up 1M shares this morning.

Only on a squeeze, not on people returning to theaters. Who's gonna sit in a nasty theater surrounded by people that are breathing lol? And was filled with different people an hour earlier. That were breathing.

Ohhh, you'll need proof of a vaccine to get in.
That's just what I want, my family's medical history on file with AMC when hackers are hitting everywhere and posting everything on the dark web.
