The machine is already fighting back. Margin requirements have been tightened by the Clearing Houses, which ultimately has impacted brokers. Key question now, is with those positions that were taken out last week, (when there were no limits to what you can buy) now having been settled and thus with the increased capital available, will the brokerages lift trading limits? My guess is no, since they know that there will be a tidal wave of orders coming in when that happens, especially with the increase coverage and then there is risk that brokerages will go bust. My wife even knows about it and her friends have called her to ask for my take! Similarly, lot of new funds have come in and put on new shorts, albeit at a higher level, since the price of GME no way reflects its true intrinsic value. They'll wait this out, since they know their time will come. Retailers, especially those late to the party will get hurt. It may well go up from where it is today, but the so called Gamma Squeeze, i doubt will happen, since the funds have deep pockets and will just put more and more on, until this is broken. Also, one thing that people don't factor is, the possible introduction of new shares. These shorted companies, would be insane to miss an opportunity whereby they could raise much needed capital by issuing new shares to shore up their balance sheet. I suspect that this is happening as we speak and that is why we've heard nothing from GME and AMC. Whats to stop GME agreeing to issue 50 million new shares at let's say $200, which the shooters could buy at discount and cover their shorts? Nothing! Beware jumping in!
