Hedge funds would just love for Gamestop to issue more shares, directly to them, so they can cover their naked shorts.
That is my bet.
It does two things
1. Covers their shorts
2. Screws the investment insurrectionists.
And it pumps a lot of money into GME’s coffers. Not sure if it is legal, but that stopped meaning anything around March 2020
But if I was on the board (which I do wonder who is), I would cash out now, and move to the islands. Which with the travel bans should be impossible.
