Recap this Halloween
Two months ago, we discussed in π± The End of The World π± Part I π± Only GME, AMC, etc will survive π± that 'the tide' [the tide that, when it goes out, routinely exposes which funds and banks have been swimming naked] is already going out here. Upon this margin dynamic discovery, we specifically disclosed that the U.S. Department of Justice will obtain the final evidence of the naked short-selling fraud. So, it's no surprise for us to learn this month that the FBI launched its Securities Fraud Strike Force.
“Greed in the corporate environment can lead to insider trading, self-dealing and other fraudulent offenses [such as naked short selling]. The FBI is proud to launch this effort with our federal partners to weed out criminal behavior and protect the investing public by leveling the playing field from Wall Street to Main Street.”
-Donald Alway, the FBI's Assistant Director in Charge of the L.A. Field Office
Several Hedge funds and their prime brokers caused a massive societal problem using extreme risk, extreme leverage, extreme manipulation, extreme practices, extreme fraud, and extreme lack of transparency. These hedge funds will go down in history as extremists, specifically Financial Terrorists. Soon we will see substantial criminal charges against the responsible hedge fund managers who have sabotaged global markets.
Last month, we discussed in π± The End of The World π± Part II π± All Hell is About to Break Loose π± that the music stopped. All hell began to break loose in the economy, for lack of a more-accurate phrase, thanks to Hedge Funds' irresponsible risk management both in the U.S. and abroad.
We discussed global debt, inflation, deterioration of China's economy, and increased conventional warfare. We then discussed 'Safe Haven' stocks such as π² G M E and π² A M C. Not only are video games and movie theatres commonly known as recession proof - but with low debt-to-equity ratios, positive and growing derivatives on cash flow, and strong liquidity - these companies have already successfully turned around their businesses. By every measure - and similar to the historic 2008like margin dynamic where the overshorted Volkswagen squeezed while the market plummeted - these types of overshorted stocks are some of the only 'lifeboats' available. π² G M E stock and π² A M C stock are overshorted.
We then made clear that the global liquidity crisis would continue on into Autumn 2023.
The Anarchy of Volatile Markets
Video #1 with audio (~1 minute long): 'The End of the World' Stock Market Dystopian Backdrop - The anarchy of volatile markets as caused by irresponsible Hedge Funds - yet Household investors still believe in the improved fundamentals of π²A M C and π² G M E :

'Volatility of volatility' (^VVIX) has just pushed up above 100 for the first time since March's first wave of the 2023 banking crisis. As the markets become more volatile during the stock market crash, the fear gauge (^VIX) will continue to rise.
Yet, there is evidence now of a yearslong scheme to slow down the rate of the stock market crash. Investable ETFs such as π² U V I X and π² U V X Y, which are highly manipulated by hedge funds and brokers, will eventually no longer be able to be controlled. The recent introduction of π² U V I X came with it immediate short-selling pressure. Reading its 108 page prospectus should be enough to convince everyone of just how easy it is for an institution to manipulate these tickers and therefore the ^VIX, since the ^VIX tracks the same components as the ETF: S&P500 options/futures contracts. Thus, when π² U V I X ETF creation units are printed and nakedly-sold short (and especially with derivatives), it egregiously suppresses π² U V I X which then artificially suppresses the ^VIX to keep the market from crashing rapidly. Thus, if π² U V I X undergoes a squeeze of its own, the institutions [and/or political administration] who used it in a manipulative scheme to control the market will likely face liquidation. The prospectus notes: "Termination Events: The Trust, or, as the case may be, the Funds, may be dissolved at any time and for any reason." The ETF's delaware trust/fund would likely immediately be shut down as soon as the ticker 'blows up.' Then the ^VIX will be 'free' to rise from either the blowing up of these volatility ETFs, or due to the freedom from them, or both. Investors are indeed able to protect themselves during a crashing market by taking long investment positions into volatility tickers.
Conventional warfare has only increased since previous posts on this subject. War is now omnipresent in Eurasia (Israel, Ukraine), not to mention in other domains like cyber, space, and economic [note the competitive expansion of BRICS nations]. Sometimes, and as world history reveals, conventional warfare can be a smokescreen and a distraction from the discovery of financial corruption of epic proportions.
Banks are shown to be clown-joke memes, while π² G M E and π² A M C are shown to be Safe Havens
Further, during a market crash, companies with excellent cash positions such as π² G M E and π² A M C are actually in better positions than banks.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, is selling 1 Million shares in stock of JP Morgan bank. Typically, and as we saw at the beginning of 2023, banking execs selling shares of bank stocks precedes a downturn and possible downfall of those banks. Additionally, the "Too Big To Fail" moniker is also being discussed.
Macro-Market Technicals
π² A M C Fundamentals
Strong cash position. Likely profitability for Q3 2023, thanks to Taylor Swift. Likely profitability for Q4 2023 thanks to Beyonce and the end of the actors' strike. Stock is still discounted at around $0.90 per share, in pre-reverse-split pricing terms. This is more than 70% more discounted than the low in the stock price prior to the 'sneeze' of January 2021.
π² G M E Fundamentals
Strong cash position. Likely profitability for Q3 2023. Potential for acquisition(s), and especially with Ryan Cohen at the helm. Minimization of expenditures. Maximization of revenues. Improved overall efficiency as a company. Stock at three-year discount of around $13.00 (most discounted since February of 2021).
Outlast the Vampires Well-Beyond this Halloween
Video #2 with audio (~6 minutes long): 'The End of the World' Stock Market Dystopian Backdrop - Outlast the 'Vampires' during the crash:

TLDR:
Conventional war is now in occurring on two fronts in Eurasia, with rampant shootings ongoing in North America. 300,000 Russians, 100,000 Ukrainians, 8,000 Palestinians, 1,400 Israelis, and 53 Americans have died in these conflicts and most-recent shootings. As world history reveals, conventional warfare can be a smokescreen and a distraction from the discovery of financial corruption of epic proportions. This is the "End of the World" [as we know it], too, regarding global markets. The stock market crash is being met with increases in stock market volatility. Watch π² U V I X and π² U V X Y. Banks' Credit Default swaps are skyrocketing again. Regulators are discussing the 'Too Big to Fail' moniker again, the same story which preceded the 'Great Financial Crisis' of 2009.
Investors can indeed profit from crashes. Similar to how investors made money in the over-short-sold Volkswagen in 2008, GameStop stock ( π²G M E ) and AMC Entertainment stock ( π² A M C ) provide similar situations today. Both companies are sitting on treasure chests full of cash on the order of $1 Billion each. Their fundamentals are far better than banks.
With banking execs, CEOs like Jamie Dimon jumping ship and selling most of their own banking stocks (JP Morgan), the market crash is accelerating. Hedge Fund orchestrated pump and dumps are now failed, including Bitcoin - which was the last to be pumped for margin collateral. Now, as the market continues to crash, and the world dives into chaos (war, bank failures, and rampant corruption) the FBI's Securities Fraud Task Force is actively targeting its primary subject: naked-short-selling hedge funds. The DOJ and FBI are clearly on household investors' side here, which does imply that both π²G M E and π² A M C stocks will inevitably have their days on the actual Moon and/or Uranus soon. Very soon. I still believe. Happy Halloween.
