    That's 1 Amc and 1 Ape now. and there are only 516 mil apes in the pool at presant.
    That seems like a real problem to me.

    Elon Musk's Twitter musings have always moved Tesla's shares, with the infamous "funding secured" tweet drawing the ire of authorities.
    Here is a brief timeline tracing Musk's candid Twitter posts that have impacted the market.
    April 1, 2018: An April Fools' joke that fell flat, Musk's tweet that Tesla has gone "completely and totally bankrupt" came following a run of bad news for the automaker, including production shortfalls, regulatory scrutiny over its driver-assistance system Autopilot and a credit rating downgrade further into junk by Moody's Investors Service. All that combined to send the stock down as much as 8.1%.
    Aug. 7, 2018: Shares closed up nearly 11% after Musk tweeted during market hours: "Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured."
    May 1, 2020: Tesla erased around $13 billion from its market value after Musk tweeted "Tesla stock price is too high."
    Nov. 6, 2021: Elon Musk proposed selling 10% of his stock on Twitter, and took a poll of people on the social network to see if they supported it. After a clear majority (58%) of 3.5 million Twitter users voted yes, Tesla shares tumbled the most in eight months, falling as much as 7.3% as of Nov.8.
    Mooers, what do you think of Musk's tweets? Have his tweets influenced your trading decisions?

    A short squeeze can occur when a heavily shorted stock rises in value instead of falling. Short sellers could be looking to close out their position and can face a loss if they have to buy back the shares they initially borrowed at a higher price.
    Here is a look at Fintel's top five short squeeze candidates for the week of Dec. 13.
    Men's health pharmaceutical company  $Petros Pharmaceuticals (PTPI.US)$ tops the Fintel leaderboard for the week. The stock has 25.4% of its float short with short interest up 459% in recent weeks, according to Fintel. Short interest is up 2,470% in the last month on shares of PTPI. Fintel shows a cost to borrow of 254%, which is one of the highest on record.
    Life sciences company $iSpecimen (ISPC.US)$ comes in second place on the Fintel leaderboard for the week. The company has 19.7% of its public float shorted. Short interest is up over 4,400% in ISPC shares from the prior report. Fintel points out that institutional ownership is down in ISPC shares in the recent quarter. Insiders have been buying shares consistently over the last few weeks. The cost to borrow on ISPC shares is 175%, which Fintel said would normally top the list if not for the high number assigned to PTPI shares.
    Biotechnology company  $Longeveron (LGVN.US)$ ranks third on this week's list. Fintel shows 30.5% of the company's public float short. Short interest of 1.2 million shares is up 477% in the last month, according to the report. LGVN has a high cost to borrow of 152%.
    Biopharmaceutical company  $Vallon Pharmaceuticals (VLON.US)$ has 22.8% of its float short. Short interest has risen 855% from previous reports, according to Fintel. The cost to borrow on VLON shares is 62.1%. Fintel highlighted that institutional shares have declined over 30% in the most recent quarter.
    Material handling industry company  $Greenland Technologies (GTEC.US)$ joins the short squeeze leaderboard in fifth place. Short interest in GTEC is up over 1,500% from the previous report. The cost to borrow on GTEC shares is 41%.
    Mooers, let's look for the next  $GameStop (GME.US)$ or  $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$.

    how to turn on drip
    dragon king slayer reacted to and commented on
    Yesterday, Elon Musk asked Twitter users to decide whether he should sell more than $20bn worth of his Tesla shares and pay tax.
    The Tesla CEO said he would "abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes".
    And the final result is "Yes"
    But wait, why did he want to sell Tesla shares
    There are two obvious reasons
    1. He needs money
    Musk doesn't accept a cash salary from Tesla. His compensation package entitles him to stock awards.
    Musk was awarded options in 2012 as part of a compensation plan. The 2012 award was for 22.8 million shares at a strike price of $6.24 per share. Tesla shares closed at $1,222.09 on Friday, meaning his gain on the shares totals just under $28 billion.
    The options expire in August of next year. Yet in order to exercise them, Musk has to pay the income tax on the gain. The total tax bill on his options, at the current price, would be $15 billion.
    Therefore, Musk has to sell Tesla shares to make money.
    2. Tax rates may increase
    If Musk were to sell stock, now could be a good time.
    The current top tax rate on long-term capital gains is 23.8%, but Congress has been considering raising it. Changes in capital-gains tax rates often take effect immediately, to prevent gamesmanship.
    Musk previously blasted a proposed tax on billionaires that would have subjected some holdings of about 700 Americans to annual capital-gains taxes on increases in value.
    Will Tesla's share price fall?
    - On the FTX crypto exchange Sunday afternoon, Tesla tokens have traded for $1,127, or 7.8% below where the real stock closed on Nov. 5.
    - Musk's brother Kimbal Musk on Friday sold 88,500 Tesla shares, becoming the latest board member to offload a large number of Tesla stocks which hit record highs.
    - Since CEOs have limited windows in which to sell stock, and Musk would likely want to stagger the sales over at least two quarters, analysts and tax experts have been expecting Musk to start selling in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    Will Tesla's share price fall??

    A 7-foot-tall bronze of Harambe, the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla that made national headlines in 2016 after picking up and carrying around a 3-year-old boy who climbed into its enclosure, then getting shot, appeared on Wall Street Monday.
    The giant gorilla was placed in Bowling Green Park, directly across from the famous Charging Bull statue, which was surrounded by 10,000 bananas.
    The organizers, founders of Sapien.Network, an in-development social networking platform "dedicated to putting the needs and welfare of human beings first" said they put up the display to show that Wall Street has become "bananas" -- wholly out of touch with the needs of everyday people.
    Sapien.Network co-founders Robert Giometti, Tejay Aluru and Ankit Bhatia said they used the symbol of Harambe to represent the millions who struggle under a U.S. capitalist system they say "enriches wealthy elites and leaves the average person behind."
    OK that was deep. Any thought about the ape statue and it's meaning?
