That is actually the biggest issue: 140% of game stock is needed by the clearing house for the short positions and they haven't been resolved yet. The hope is that they can get repeated calls to resolve it, but since so much holding is going on, volume is tight for closing positions. And since, it gets bought out so fast, this type of activity will go into next week.

You nailed it, it's like a securities lending huge bubble or ponzi scheme. I used to work in London's security lending industry. This could GO crazy:-)

There're four ways, come Monday, this goes from my analysis:

  • Game Stop enters a hyper-squeeze taking the entire market with it.
  • Game Stop keeps squeezing for another week before finally coming down once the short interest dies down since the shorters can't hold up.
  • Game Stop is pressured into doubling it shares that it sells to the clearing house for shit tons of money that they use to resolve this.
  • Government steps in and buys Game Stop up at Market rate and ticks it off as stimulus.

Once the short positions are close to being closed out that's the trigger. It has a long way to go yet. I'd go with you 2nd option.

On a side note. I hope GameStop takes advantage of this situation and makes a real play at revamping there services
