GGP is not Gamestop21 May 2022 16:39
Ive seen a few posts recently comparing GGP to Gamestop, calling for a "short squeeze"
"GameStop was particularly susceptible to a short squeeze in January. That's because the level of "short interest" in the stock—the ratio of borrowed shares to total outstanding shares—spiked to an unprecedented 122.97 percent (reborrowed shares essentially count a second time, which can drive the ratio past 100 percent)."
122.97%. GGP is at 0.5% aka basically none
Why is this "squeeze the shorters!" narrative so talked about and popular?
Are people not reassured enough by GGP fundamentals that we have to create pantomime villains we can point fingers at in hopes when they stop bullying us everything will be ok?
I would be interested to know the first time short interest was mentioned here, how many times "the shorters are in trouble!" has been said since and just how far down the SP has gone in that time
There's loads of interesting things to discuss around GGP, gold, copper, the macro climate and money/currency in general, I know it wont happen, but in an ideal world they would be more the focus of discussion
