Vielleicht kommen wir dem End Game so langsam etwas näher... "unimaginable highs" :-)
Amid the wild trading, TD Ameritrade said Sunday it increased margin requirements on AMC and GameStop to 100%, meaning investors are required to purchase all the securities with cash. The brokerage firm said it may also implement additional requirements on opening trades on AMC options that expire on Friday.
″#NakedShorts and #NakedShorting were trending Monday on Twitter as well as over the weekend, referring to the elevated short interest in AMC. Naked shorting is the illegal practice of short selling where a stocks short interest may be larger than the tradable shares in the market sometimes due to discrepancies between paper and electronic trading systems.
AMC has around 18% of its float shares sold short, versus about 5% for an average U.S. stock, according to data from S3 Partners. Short sellers betting against AMC suffered $2 billion in losses last week, S3 data showed.
It is extremely tempting to short these stocks, but unless you have huge liquid resources, please try to resist the temptation because these prices can go to unimaginable highs before they settle down to a reasonable valuation, and you may have to cover on the high point, Interactive Brokers Chairman Thomas Peterffy said Monday on CNBCs Squawk Box.
