  1. Olivia,

    I am with you. I don’t have near as many shares, but I am seeking to get more soon as I believe, as you stated, the shorts are fkt and soon, like this coming month of March 2023.

    1. Hey Olivia, aren’t you pissed off that you’ll soon have only 567 and 831 shares respectively?

  2. I think the entire APE issue with massive shares available was orchestrated to provide an out for the short bag holders.

    I know you disagree with me but Adam Aaron is a creature of Wallstreet. He came in, likely saved AMC from bankruptcy and found a way to provide enough shares to aggressive short sellers to escape despite their predatory actions. Retail investors are of no consequence to him and successfully driving the price down has enhanced the probability of AMC being acquired. Whomever the buyer is, the acquisition makes a lot more sense at $5.00 than $50.00

    I think you will see an acquisition announced shortly after the March meeting and the acquirer will get controlling interest for $5.00 or less from the massive new number of shareholders (APE convertors) who made a killing buying APE for less than $1.00 or even today’s prices. Our 4,000,000 retail owners of AMC will own less than a majority post conversion and controlling interest won’t require the purchase of our shares.

  3. Been holding and buying for 2 years now, im up to 18,925 shares of amc and 18,000 ape , my amc average cost is 8.85 at the moment, im still buying every chance I can, when I can afford it.

  4. I buy more as I can afford them. I started in 2020 with 300 shares now have 800 AMC and 718 APE. My target is 1000 of each.

  5. Holding for the little guys over here. 2 years and all I’ve done is yawn, ill see yall at the end. Great article!

  6. Hedge Funds have been bleeding 20 million dollars per month for over a year. Call me crazy but what stops them from bleeding another year…..or 2?

    I’ve been holding 2,000+ shares for over a year. I’m more worried about the reverse split.

  7. Frank,
    I think your math (or mine) is off. Let’s take 190 million shares, multiply that by the stock price, then multiply that by the interest rate. 190,000,000 * $13 a share. Comes out to almost $2.5 billion. Now put a 15.55% interest rate on that amount and you have a yearly cost of $384 million, a monthly cost of $32 million or a daily cost of over $1 million. Unless I’m doing something wrong.

  8. 11217 held with 26 year end contracts at values of .50 to 2.00. Been holding a couple hundred prior to 2021, as soon as I learned about dfv I plowed all I could round up in amc

  9. I started picking up shares in March. I am up to 365 shares in one account with a $19.46 average. Another account I have 10 shares with a $12.55 average. I pick up a few every time I have some extra cash. I have loved getting into this!

  10. 4K shares since Feb ‘21 reporting in from Chicago, USA. Thank you Frank Nez for the honest reporting; it’s refreshing to see. My conviction remains 🍿

  11. I have been an AMC shareholder since April of 2021. Bought shares on the dip many times. Will hold . I’m extremely confident that the squeeze is imminent. Not a question of if it happens. It’s going to happen. Do what’s best for you Ape 🦍 community.
    Carpe Diem

  12. Just an average joe with little to no knowledge of stock markets. However, I have 450 shares of AMC from personal disposable income and very happy to join “ape” culture of holding and waiting this one out while hedge funds bleed

    1. Like I said above at least your in and part of the family. IF you can buy when you can even its 1 share

    1. If more than 100 percent of available shares are owned and the Hedgies are borrowing ghost shares and dark pooling them, how can I purchase shares today and be sure that I own actual shares? Maybe a dumb question but I want to pull the trigger and buy a few shares to hold to the end and no almost nothing about stock trading. Any help appreciated

      1. Doesnt matter whether they are real shares or synthetic shares. The hedge funds and market makers that sold them to you low, will have to buy all of them back, real or synthetic, when amc squeezes. Rest assured in this play.
