AMC Entertainment is selling 425 million APE shares according to the movie theatre chain’s recent Form 8-K filings.
CEO Adam Aron advised investors AMC’s Preferred Equity (APE) would provide the company with additional capital to pay down debt at some point during its inception.
I anticipated the company would begin selling shares sometime in Q4 to end the year strong with cash and lower debt.
Alas, AMC Entertainment is doing just that.
“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our AMC Preferred Equity Units, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment,” said an official statement from AMC Entertainment.
Let’s discuss it below.

AMC is on Track for Fundamental Growth
AMC is Selling APE to pay down its debt
The largest movie theatre chain in the world is about to take a leap forward as the company prepares to capitalize from APE.
APE saw gains more than +6% on Monday while AMC was down more than -10%.
Both stocks are seeing some recovery on Tuesday.
On Twitter, shareholders are anticipating a short squeeze, or rally prior to the massive sell.
Afterall, the selloff means APE share prices will fall, but AMC could capitalize on $1.5 billion at current share price levels.
Had the movie theatre chain sold APE during its inception, the company would have enough capital to erase all of its debt.
The company pivoted towards the issuance of APE when shareholders refused to approve the dilution of more AMC shares.
The only solution was to split AMC shares, allowing the company to use its shareholders capital as a cash cow to raise cash without the approval to do so.
“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our AMC Preferred Equity Units, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.”
The company warns investors of the significant losses that may occur due to the upcoming selloff.
Conversations have even circulated on Twitter about the possibility of APE getting delisted.
And while the delisting of APE might sound rather extreme, investors should be mindful of how their capital is working for them, if at all.
APE has always been a tool for the company’s fundamental growth rather than an investment tool for retail investors.
Nonetheless, selling APE is going to push AMC forward fundamentally as the movie theatre chain reduces its debt and continues work on increasing its revenue.

How to invest in the stock market step by step for beginners
There comes a point when you realize that in order to build wealth it will require you to build multiple streams of income. The average millionaire has seven. The stock market is one way you can invest your earned income in order to start earning passive income and multiply your money. Here’s how to invest in the stock market step by step for beginners.
Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, entrepreneurship, market news, and trending investing topics.
Lets get started!
I’ve been investing in the stock market since 2019.
When I learned how to open a brokerage account and buy company stock, I knew I had to show people how to do it too.
Everything I found online was outdated so I wanted to make it easy for people to start.
Benefits of investing in the stock market
One of the greatest benefits of investing in the stock market is that you get to hedge against inflation.
Inflation is at an all-time high right now and simply letting your money lose its value isn’t going to create wealth.
The stock market also provides an average return of 7%-8% annually which means those CDs and high yielding savings accounts are a thing of the past.
Even so, you can always create a portfolio bringing in 20%+ annual returns!
In June of 2021, AMC shareholders saw a whopping 3000% return on their investment at its high.
GameStop shareholders saw about half!
Although these trades are much different anomalies then traditional long-term investing, it paints a picture of the power of the market.
Let’s get you started!
#1. Set a budget when planning to invest
Before you begin to invest you will need to set a budget on your first investment(s).
The great thing about the stock market is that you can invest with as little as $50 or so depending on the cost of a share.
A share is a fraction of a company you can own and earn money from as the company grows and profits over a period of time.
Example
If you set a budget of $200 and the share of a company you want to invest in costs $50 then you can purchase (4) four shares of said company.
If a month later the shares you purchased are worth $60 each then your shares would now be worth $240, resulting in a $40 gain.
This is how investing in the stock market works.
Note: I highly recommend having your emergency fund built prior to proceeding with investing in the stock market.
It is important to highlight that the money you invest in the stock market will need to be money you can tolerate losing.
The stock market is volatile meaning the value of your assets is constantly going up and down.
Something to keep in mind is that the value of your investments can go down just as fast if not faster than they went up.
Now, this is not addressed to scare you. The stock on average has an annual return of 6-8% per year.
Why should you invest in stocks?
Investing in stocks is a great way to diversify your portfolio.
You don’t want to keep all your eggs in one basket.
For this reason, the wealthy invest in companies they believe have long-term potential to thrive and to multiply their investment.
#2. Know what to invest in
Now that you’ve set a budget you’ll need to know what you want to invest in.
Once you do, find the stock market symbol of the company on Google search engine.
If you wanted to invest in Coca-Cola for example, you’d search ‘stock market symbol for Coca-Cola’ on Google.
You’ll see that the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) symbol for Coca-Cola is KO.
This is how you will identify and search for companies to invest in when you’re in the market to buy stocks.
Here are some different type of investments you can invest in within the NYSE.
Stocks
How to invest in stocks for beginners
A stock is a share of a company just like Coca-Cola.
Buying a share from one specific company is a stock.
Stocks are good to purchase if you strongly believe in the continued success of your choice of company.
Invest in companies that have room to grow and are constantly innovating.
Stocks I personally favor are Tesla, Apple, and Amazon.
These tech companies are always innovating therefore I have strong conviction towards their continued growth and success.
Index Funds
How to invest in the stock market
An index fund is a fund that tracks and follows the index (growth) of a group of companies.
When you own a share of an index fund, you own a percentage of a pool of companies oppose to just one company.
What makes an index fund great is that if a company within an index fund isn’t performing very well there are other companies that may balance the overall performance of the fund resulting in a fair return.
A popular choice is the S&P500.
This index fund tracks the performance of the top 500 companies in the United States.
This type of investment tends to be a less risky and yield great profits over the long run.
It’s an investors favorite and I personally hold shares in the S&P500.
A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust Fund) is very similar to an index fund.
The only exception is that it invests exclusively in real estate companies oppose to other businesses.
If you want to invest in real estate without the hassle of learning the game, using cash up front, or getting into debt, REITs are a great way to diversify your portfolio into the real estate sector.
A great REIT I’m invested in is VNQ with Vanguard.
Which investment is right for you?
Each of these investments has their own benefits.
My suggestion is to research them individually as all of our needs are very unique.
As your skills develop as a retail investor, you’ll find yourself having a diversified portfolio consisting of all three.
Invest in the stock market and learn to identify which investment is best for you.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren buffett
#3. Choose a Brokerage Firm to Begin Investing in The Stock Market
This is the fun part.
Choose a reputable online brokerage firm.
A brokerage firm is a platform where you will be doing all of your investing through the NYSE.
Here you’ll be able to purchase stocks and sell them.
Each brokerage firm has their own customer advantages but are very similar to use.
Here is a list of brokerage firms you can open an account with and sign up for free.
Check out each brokerage firm’s website and see which feels more comfortable for you to navigate.
Do some research on each of them to see which has the strongest potential for your needs. I personally use Vanguard.
How to invest in the stock market for beginners
Note: When you purchase investments, there are small commission fees your investments will pay out to the firm.
They are very small in most cases and don’t hinder your earnings like you’d think. Vanguard has the lowest fees.
Each brokerage firm will have different commission fees and the percentage will vary in each firm.
For example: Coke (KO) will have a slightly different commission fee in every firm despite having the same share cost.
#4. Open your account
For this step-by-step on how to invest in the stock market I’m going to use Vanguard.
Vanguard is one of the most reliable brokerage accounts you can use.
How to invest in stocks for beginners
Head over to Vanguard and select ‘Open an account’.
How to invest in stocks with Vanguard
Select ‘Start your new account’ to get started.
Choose the method you will be funding your new account. You can choose between:
Electronic bank transfer or another Vanguard account
Rollover from an employer plan (e.g., 401(k) plan)
Transfer investments from another financial firm
Most new retail investors will be choosing the first option, using an electronic bank transfer to fund your account.
Before you open your account to begin investing in the stock market you’ll need your bank account and routing number as well as other personal information.
Once you’re in it’s time to transfer funds into your account.
#5. Transfer Funds Into Your Brokerage Account
Congratulations! Now that you’ve chosen a brokerage account to invest with, you’ll have the tools at your disposal to begin investing.
Navigate throughout your brokerage website. Get comfortable with where things are.
Things might seem very new at first, intimidating even.
Don’t worry, now that you’ve begun something new, you’ll begin to take the first steps toward self-education.
First, you’ll want to learn how to transfer funds into your brokerage account.
I will be demonstrating step by step how to do this using Vanguard.
Toggle the settings to connect your bank account with your brokerage account so you can start to invest in the stock market.
This direct line will allow you to transfer funds into your account so you may begin to purchase shares.
Once you have this set up you may transfer the money from your budget to invest in.
#6. Make Your Very First Investment in The Stock Market
Now that you’ve transferred your funds over to your brokerage account, navigate through the site to make your very first purchase.
Search the symbol of the stock, index, or REIT you will be investing in.
Note: Before purchasing, make sure you thoroughly navigate the website to get comfortable using it.
This will make the purchase experience a lot easier.
Once you pull up the investment, go through the details provided on the page.
You should be able to see its history, it’s projected return, its risk level, and so much more information about the investment.
Purchase the investment!
Purchase the investment with the option set to ‘Market’.
This option will allow you to purchase the investment instantly at the price it’s worth.
We suggest doing a test purchase since this is your first time investing in the stock market.
This will help you get a feel for it. Purchase one share so you understand the process.
It will serve as good practice and experience.
Congrats on buying your first share!
Follow up on your investment the following day and see whether your investment had gains or losses.
You’ll see for the very first time how your investment grew in value or decreased in value.
You now have a taste of what it’s like to invest in the stock market.
I have personally invested in stocks since 2019 and have learned a lot about the stock market.
In fact, I’m still learning today.
I published an article on the best tips and advice for beginners investing in stocks to further help you on your journey.
Stock investing is all about strategy.
When you make money in the stock market you may let it sit and accumulate over time, or you may cash in your profits and allocate those gains towards other opportunities.
This is why I believe investing in stocks is extremely important to someone who wants to build wealth.
The stock market allows you to multiply your hard-earned money so you may further invest it in other assets.

Market News: APE failure to deliver surge since inception.
AMC’s Preferred Equity, APE, topped $304.9 million in FTDs last month.
The FTDs are reported for the month of August, per Stocksera.
FTDs, or Failure-to-deliver occurs when one party in a trading contract (whether it’s shares, futures, or options) fails to deliver on their obligations.
These failures derive due to buyers not having enough money to take delivery and pay for the transaction at settlement.
In the case of sellers, it means not having the goods to meet that transaction.
Failure-to-deliver can occur in options trading or when selling short naked, per Investopedia.
AMC Entertainment has been a big target for short sellers looking to profit from the demise of the century old movie theatre chain.
The alarming amount of APE FTDs further proves this.
Let’s discuss it below.
Welcome to Franknez.com – if you haven’t joined the newsletter, be sure to do that below. I’m publishing market news and updates daily.
According to Investopedia, APE FTDs can also occur if there is a technical problem in the settlement process carried out by the respective parties (clearing houses).
There’s a major conflict of interest when Citadel Clearing LLC transacts orders worldwide.
Ken Griffin’s Citadel LLC is short on AMC Entertainment stock, so we can see how utilities play out in the hedge fund’s favor.
It’s unlikely FTDs have been a result of retail buyers since the majority are purchasing the equity on cash accounts where orders execute almost immediately.
Naked short selling seems to be the most probable cause here as $APE has tumbled despite heavy retail interest.
The large amount of FTDs is manipulative and quite common in stocks such as AMC and GameStop.
Retail investors have taken it to Twitter to express their concerns to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
And although activists continue to engage the Chairman, no action has taken place to justify the ongoing market manipulation in APE, AMC, and GameStop.
Others are suggesting protesting outside SEC locations across the country.
Leave your thoughts on APE
There’s a lot of speculation surrounding APE FTDs and APE stock in general.
Are you holding APE?

Wealth Building: Differences between Long-Term Investing, Short Squeeze Plays, and Day Trading
Today’s article is going to be extremely educational; I’m going over the biggest differences between long-term investing, short squeeze plays, and day trading.
In this article you’re going to discover what makes each one more susceptible than the other to market manipulation and overall risk.
When you’re looking to build wealth in the market, it is important to identify the major differences between the three.
Be sure to bookmark this page so you can come back to it in the future for a mental refresh.
Let’s get started!
Welcome to Franknez.com – join my newsletter to receive more content just like this straight to your inbox.
I’ve helped people learn how to invest in stocks, crypto, and how to day trade options as well.
My goal is to help you take your finances to the next level. Be sure to browse the blog for market news, wealth building tips, and other valuable content.
Let’s dive right into it!
#1. Long-Term investing
Long-term investing is the #1 traditional way to build wealth over a long period of time.
Here, an investor’s portfolio compounds over time as dividends are rolled over or reinvested back into the asset – further purchasing more stock on its own.
During the years of retirement, investors may decide to stop reinvesting the dividend and accept the dividend as cash instead.
This is how a dividend stock portfolio may yield investors with big passive income in the form of cashflow many years later.
Many of these stocks are not heavy victims to market manipulation due to the security and minimalistic risk there is to invest in these funds.
Short squeeze plays have a high risk/high reward ratio that has attracted many new investors into the market.
When a stock is being heavily shorted, the short interest percentage of the stocks float tends to rise.
This means that with enough buying pressure, investors may increase the probability of squeezing short sellers from their positions.
We saw this occur when AMC ran from $2 per share to $72 per share and when GameStop skyrocketed into the hundred-dollar levels.
While both these two stocks are still heavily shorted, these are just two examples of short squeeze plays where investors could have taken advantage of an opportunity to make big bucks.
Short squeeze plays are more susceptible to market manipulation since market makers tend to have a lot of control of retail investor’s orders.
They may drive share prices down by overleveraging their already bias positions, which means a lot of momentum is required for a short squeeze play to be successful.
Short squeeze plays are a form of swing trades that may last weeks to months of holding a stock before trading it for profit.
This type of investment strategy may be viewed as mid-term investing to cash in big on a rather unique opportunity.
#3. Day Trading
Day trading uses leverage as a multiplier to trade stocks in a short-term timeframe.
What makes this investment strategy attractive to most investors are the possibilities to earn massive gains in such a short period of time.
Traders are earning money whether the market is up or down through ‘put and call options contracts’.
Unlike long-term investing or short squeeze plays that have a buy and hold approach, day trading is a skill that requires focus, discipline, and a deep understanding about the psychology of trading.
Day traders can earn hundreds to thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars on a daily basis (you can view my gains here).
While day trading is mainly a form of income, traders may still allocate earnings towards long-term investments to further build their wealth.
As investors, we need to identify the best way to take advantage of the tool that is the stock market.
Long-term investors should focus on increasing their income to flood their portfolios with compounding effects.
Short squeeze traders should draw out a macro vision board to determine which path to take after short squeeze profits are secured.
Day traders would be wise to invest a portion of their income towards dividend paying assets or physical assets (such as property or a business) that will produce cashflow.
Building wealth is about having your money work for you so that you can have the time freedom to do what you love most.

AMC Entertainment partners with Disney+
Market News: AMC and Disney Plus partner up.
AMC Entertainment is partnering up with Disney+ to provide Disney+ subscribers with AMC theatre perks.
Some of the perks Disney+ is providing to its customers are:
6 months of Uber One Membership
Disney Movie Insider Bonus Points
Special Screenings at AMC Theatres
Disney Cruise Line Offer
+ more.
CEO Adam Aron said on Monday that “the consumer’s voracious quest for content allows both movie theatres and steamers to thrive. So, I am thrilled that tens of millions of Disney+ subscribers now get perks — exclusively at AMC Theatres!”
This is a massive win for AMC Entertainment as it contradicts what analysts have been expecting of the century old movie theatre chain.
Financial institutions shorting AMC theatre stock prophesized streaming would replace the cinematic experience, but AMC’s partnership with Disney shows us both outlets can coexist.
Which do you prefer?
Online streaming, or the cinematic experience you get at a movie theatre?

Bankruptcy in the Movie Theatre Industry
Earlier the CEO also addressed Regal’s filing for bankruptcy, stating fortunately AMC is in a very, very different position.
AMC Entertainment continues to thrive as shareholders become customers and new retail investors join the ‘meme stock’ saga in fighting corruption and malpractice in the financial markets.
The British movie theater chain Cineworld (Regal), weighed down by a mammoth debt pile, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States last Wednesday, having failed to rebound from the pressure inflicted by the pandemic, according to The New York Times.
Cineworld, the world’s second-largest theater chain after AMC Theaters, will seek to significantly reduce its debt through reorganization, the company said in the filing.
The company, which is based in London and operates Regal Cinemas in the United States, reported $8.9 billion in debt at the end of 2021, including $4 billion in lease liabilities.
Some of the debt was taken on in the pandemic as the company sought to outlast lockdowns that had sapped its revenue.
Cineworld said Wednesday in its filing that it had secured $1.94 billion in debtor-in-possession financing that would allow it to keep up its operations while it restructures its obligations.
Cineworld/Regal just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for its theatres in the U.S.and U.K. Fortunately, AMC is in a very, very different situation — because retail investors embraced us and let us raise boatloads of cash. Thank you to retail! You really did save AMC.

AMC TTM Squeeze indicator
I gave a quick 6-minute introduction to AMC’s TTM squeeze indicator on my channel last week; you may watch it below in case you missed it.
Subscribe for more updates like this one.
But I’m going to be publishing a brand-new video updating the community where AMC stands and what we can expect moving forward based on this indicator, later this week.
Be sure to subscribe to the channel and opt in for notification so you do not miss it when it comes out.
In this article I want to go over the possible BIG rally that may lie ahead for AMC Entertainment stock given the circumstances of specific factors.
One of the biggest being momentum.
AMC saw gains upwards of +3,000% last year when retail investors purchased the stock en masse, which snowballed into FOMO from more retail investors and even institutions.
The reason it worked was because AMC had a high short interest and institutions gained confidence in the opportunity as investors piled in to squeeze short sellers from their short positions.
AMC’s short interest dropped from 23% to 20% before it began to move up.
The stock gained momentum when the short interest further dropped to 14% before picking back up this year.
And luckily for retail investors, AMC’s current reported short interest is at 21.30%.
It’s going to require retail momentum and institutional investor confidence for AMC to surge like it did last year.
This bullish momentum is what triggered a small percentage of short sellers to close their short positions, further fueling the rally.
If AMC’s TTM Squeeze indicator has a complete transition from bearish momentum to bullish momentum, then AMC stock will be taking its first steps towards another massive swing this year.
I will be going over the indicator later this week on my channel for the weekly timeframe update.

Market News: The cost to short AMC stock increases
The cost for hedge funds to short AMC is rising.
Short sellers have been prophesizing the fall of the movie theatre industry after the pandemic temporarily crippled the largest movie theatre chain in the world, AMC Entertainment.
Overleveraged institutions, who many have discovered to be involved in major conflicts of interest, have been able to manipulate the company’s shares from rising through a variety of tools only accessible to financial institutions.
The demand for the movie theatre chain stock has been masked in dark pools, or other foreign exchanges; only a fraction of retail’s money has been observed on the lit exchange (NYSE).
Nonetheless, retail investors have become a massive support for the stock and the company.
So much that even as short sellers drag out getting squeezed from their positions, the cost for hedge funds to short AMC has risen.
Let’s go over the numbers.
Welcome to Franknez.com – if you haven’t joined the newsletter, be sure to do that below. I’m publishing market news and updates daily.
AMC Short Squeeze – AMC Entertainment 2022 – AMC Stock Price – AMC Stock Squeeze
Will AMC squeeze in 2022?
The Fool thinks you should sell your stock, but retail investors aren’t budging.
Mainstream media who serve hedge funds in a conflict of interest have been egging retail investors to not buy the stock all of 2021.
If you listened to The Fool who told you not to buy AMC when its share price was low, then you would have missed out on a trade that went as high as 3000% in gains!
While the runup to $72 per share might have caused AMC’s short interest to drop to 14% from 20%, AMC’s short interest has now gone up to 21%.
Ladies and gentlemen, AMC stock has plenty of room for growth in 2022.
Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog that provides retail investors market news with integrity. Today we’re discussing AMC’s short interest data to determine whether it will squeeze in 2022.
Let’s dive right into it!
If you haven’t subscribed to the newsletter, be sure to do so that way you don’t miss out on new information.
Mainstream media wants retail to lose
It’s no secret the financial platforms who have been attacking AMC stock are tied together.
Will AMC stock squeeze in 2022? Game over short sellers | AMC Stock 2022 – AMC Stock Price
AMC has a high enough short interest to squeeze shorts from their positions in 2022.
Sitting at 21% short interest, it’s more than enough to get the price up well into the high hundreds of dollars per share.
Whether regulators will investigate naked shares, FTDs, and other forms of counterfeit shares for hedge funds to cover is another topic.
AMC will need momentum if it’s to see another massive runup in share price.
Furthermore, hedge funds will lead their customers into losses for the second year in a row if retail investors continue to buy and hold the stock in 2022.
AMC Entertainment stock has plenty of room for growth and mainstream media doesn’t want you to know it.
AMC stock is for the retail investors who are willing to take a little risk to multiply their investment through a short squeeze play.
A short squeeze play is a long commitment with incredible upside.
If you’re lucky enough to get involved in the ape community you’ll find yourself fighting for a fair and transparent market, where your voice means everything.
Reasons why AMC wont squeeze in 2022..
I’ve always been transparent with the community.
There are many of you who got in when I first began publishing the data early last year and are sitting on unrealized gains today.
And although AMC could have squeezed during various occasions last year, there are still things that can hinder AMC from squeezing this year.
Here’s a list of things that will refrain AMC from squeezing shorts from their positions:
Retail investors start selling AMC stock
Retail investors stop buying AMC stock
New buyers aren’t introduced to the stock or short interest data
The AMC community has not had a problem holding or buying the stock.
One of the biggest problems the community faces today is regulators not protecting retail investors against the predatorial strategies from hedge funds.
The community has always been a beacon for change.
Apes will need to voice market concerns to elevate awareness.
AMC stock had multiple chances to squeeze in 2021, however, hedge funds always found a loophole that would prevent them from reporting information, or trading stock in the lit exchange.
Market manipulation continues to be a threat to every retail investor in the market.
AMC Entertainment was on the brink of extinction, it was about to go bankrupt.
Hedge funds took this opportunity to overleverage their short positions in the stock, betting it would close forever.
Once retail investors got in and saved the company, the community uncovered a number of market manipulation tactics that allowed hedge funds to prevent the stock’s share price from soaring.
The fight for a fair market continues in 2022.
For the ape community, this is more than just a short squeeze play.
Your support helps maintain all the costs it takes to run a blog at this scale.
Together, we’ve been able to place AMC Entertainment articles on the #1 page results on Google and get featured on the ‘news’ section, combating mainstream media.
The mission of this platform is to spread the truth corporate media isn’t willing to, by giving the people in our community a voice.
AMC has been trending downwards since its rise up to $72 per share and now retail investors are wondering, will AMC stock go up?
In a recent article I break down 3 BIG factors that have influenced AMC’s downward trajectory in the past few months.
Although AMC’s share price has been plummeting, the demand for the stock has not.
This key point is going to play a big role in what happens to AMC stock after this bear market is over.
Welcome to Franknez.com – today I want to lay a few key points you should take into consideration if you’re holding AMC stock or thinking of buying it.
Let’s get started!
AMC stock had an incredible year in 2021.
The stock reached an all-time high of $72 per share with only 21% short interest at the time.
Once the share price began to come down, AMC’s short interest had come down to 14%.
As we start the new year, AMC’s average daily volume is incredibly high.
AMC has an average volume of 46 million with many days surpassing this amount.
So why isn’t AMC’s massive demand reflecting in the share price?
That’s the question the ‘ape community’ has been asking regulators all year 2021.
Too many eyes are on regulators right now and at some point, some suppression inflicted by hedge funds will have to subside.
And aside from Omicron and Covid news affecting the entire market, AMC’s massive volume will eventually push the stock price up during a correction.
What does this mean for retail investors?
If you’re looking to get in on AMC for a short squeeze, know the risks, but understand that once this stock takes off you will not be able to buy it at these prices again.
Subscribe for more content and updates.
Deflating the short interest
Deflating AMC’s short interest like we saw back in January and June means AMC stock will go up significantly higher from its current share price.
Small short covering allowed AMC to reach $72 per share back in June of 2021.
So why can AMC stock still skyrocket?
Despite the heavy buying volume from retail, AMC still has more than enough short interest percentage to squeeze shorts from their positions.
2022 is only the sequel to 2021’s runup.
The reason mainstream media doesn’t want you to know this is because of their ties to hedge funds and private financial institutions.
These institutions are ‘short’ on AMC and GameStop, meaning they’re betting against them.
Pushing propaganda that will feed their narrative is the safest way for hedge funds to derail retail from further buying the stock that could cause them to default.
Hedge funds such as Melvin Capital, Anchorage Capital, Mudrick, & Archegos are out of the game.
A short squeeze play has nothing to do with AMC Entertainment’s fundamentals.
The reason being is that retail goes based off of how much shorting there is in the company stock.
Buying the stock en masse (big volume) will cause AMC stock to go up, forcing shorts to close their positions and buy back their shares; triggering a short squeeze.
A short squeeze play does not depend on the performance of the company as a business.
AMC’s fundamentals are not the greatest, the company does have a lot of debt.
However, something mainstream media is not discussing is just how much their debt has gone down each quarter since 2021.
AMC Entertainment’s fundamentals are a discussion I will be touching topic on another blog post very soon so be sure to join the newsletter.
Tesla has now followed by accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment on their merchandise too.
Debt is the only thing holding AMC Entertainment from being a fundamental buy in the eyes of most in the industry.
AMC Entertainment partnerships
AMC partnered with Chance the Rapper last year for his concert movie release.
CEO Adam Aron announced that they would be working on partnering up with industry leaders for licensing agreements that would allow AMC to provide more of these experiences to their audiences around the world.
Another successful showing was the UFC fight they held in theatres.
