Okay folks, honestly, could somebody please go and check in on the hedge funds? Go give them a call, because let's just say they're going to need a shrink after today. But anyways, I want to talk about how much farther this can go, because honestly, Gamestop went up 2500 about 2500 within that two-week period where it had its big squeeze, and Amc in this two-week time period has only gone up about 200 percent. And it's not an exaggeration to say that hey, this situation has the potential to become a lot more heated than the Gamestop situation back in January. And what's really freaky is that you're seeing a lot of the media cover this as if the short squeeze just happened.

They're saying, okay, retail, you had your fun, Go ahead and sell out now. But the data shows that this wasn't the short squeeze. Nobody won. In fact, even though we have indeed had a rapid increase of momentum over the last week, the shorts for the most part haven't even begun to cover yet.

In fact, the data shows that short interest rose today, indicating that overall, while some shorts got squeezed, no doubt today, there are more than enough shorts adding to their positions today and yesterday to more than offset that. So anybody that's telling you that retail already won is definitely lying to you. And the reason that this angers me is not because I want people to go and blindly buy Amc, but because it's not true this wasn't a short squeeze, this was just people buying. and we've now broken previous highs from January and February.

but this time around, there's substantially more firepower being aimed at crushing the stock, and there's a lot more at risk. If hedge funds don't get the stock price down, there's a lot of money on the line right now, and hedge funds are going to do everything possible to get this down. It needs to go down as much as possible. or hedge funds aren't going to be able to pay for their private schools for their seven different kids.

But of course, at the same time, this is my daily reminder that you have to be responsible. At the end of the day, hey, me nor the guy yelling by Amc in the comment section is going to be responsible for your losses Right now. The data that we're looking at suggests that if retail keeps showing up, we could see a massive, massive squeeze. But if retail decides hey, you know what We've had our fun, we're going to lock in profits.

What's going to happen. Well, short sellers are gonna win. So if you're gonna participate in Amc, you gotta at least understand what you're doing, what the goal of your position is, and also have a clear understanding that hey, this can go very, very south, very very quickly. And of course, in this video, we're also going to be giving an update on plays, as well as some updated guidance.

And the only thing that I ask in return for all this is that you hit that ravishing like button. And also don't forget to subscribe either. Okay, quick update on plays before we get to the main entree. In the most recent Ad Money 2 video, we were talking about how Ford, despite getting beat down, was very smartly repositioning themselves as an eevee provider and that people just haven't realized it yet.

And even in the last months since then, a lot of folks have come to terms and realized that hey, Ford is Ford is really doing a good job repositioning themselves. In the last month since that video, Ford has introduced their Electric F-150 They've continued to roll out their fugly I mean a beautiful Mustang mock E, They've committed to investing heavily in R D, and they've also committed to keeping 40 of their fleet electric by 2030.. Now that some of these mainstream players are getting ahead of some of these more speculative Ev companies, well, you're starting to see them take the lead. And that's why I've really liked Ford.

Because they're kind of repositioning themselves from sort of this old school. we don't do anything new kind of company, it's really pushing their way into the future. and they were kind of doing that in the last decade with hybrids. but it wasn't very exciting.

But keep in mind when you're thinking about Ford, Ford is actually one of the fastest growing Ev producers with electric vehicle sales up 262 percent year-over-year Also true that while newcomers to this race have to actually go and start from scratch, building manufacturing capacity, building the vehicle, and then of course, building the whole brand name and reputation, Ford already has that all built in. and that's why they're able to bring vehicles so quickly to market, and why you're already seeing, for example, the Mustang Mock-e going into Europe and Norway. Okay, next in terms of Fedex, this one got about a dollar from our zip trader. you price Target today at 320.

we reiterated this as a buy during the downtrend that took it all the way down to 234. Based on that, and based on how far it's come already, I'd say it makes sense to start locking in some profits. It's been a slow but good play and hey, you got to lock in profits where you can in this environment. Yes, the inflation trade is going to probably be here for a while and this could go up more, but I think that in terms of a broader image, if we do end up getting a broader market correction, you're going to be happy that you took some of the profits on some of these plays that you did bought.

I'm going to keep this as a Price Target and once this goes back below to the point where it makes sense to buy again, we'll reiterate it. The other play: Dd has consistently rallied after its short squeeze a few weeks back. this was A 3d printing play that we introduced on the channel and then zip trader you the price target is 50. We covered its earnings a couple weeks ago and how the earnings called Bs on the short seller foot they put into this play and well, guess what? It's short squeeze.

No shocker there when you have to deceive and push insane selling pressure and probably naked short sale companies in order to make a profit. Guess what happens when the company calls Bs and puts out good data? Well, you lose money. Shocker. But surprising to me, the short sellers haven't really managed to get this down again.

People took the earnings for what it was a show of strength for this company. I'm glad to see Ddd get rewarded, but hey, my price Target on this is 50 and unless you're trying to do this for like a quick grab and go, I would say I would wait till it hits 50. Sure, growth stocks overall are likely going to be stunted again by inflation concerns, but at the end of the day, you know I think it's worth waiting the course for this one. Let me get some caffeine.

Okay Amc, so the momentum has greatly accelerated today. Why is this so aggressive? Well like we've been talking about over the last couple of weeks, this is a very, very unique situation. Not only have retail traders been willing to just keep buying this in mass, but hedge funds are willing to just keep adding to their short positions, which then infuriates retail traders and makes them want to buy more, which then makes hedge funds want to go and short more, which then makes retail want to buy more and that keeps happening over and over again. Retail knows if they keep buying in mass that hedge funds are eventually going to have to cover, which is going to shoot their shares up even more.

And hedge funds know that, hey, if they can just keep shorting enough, eventually they're going to make tons of money because Amc is obviously fundamentally overvalued, so it's a war of attrition who's going to give up first? Truth be told, the clock isn't ticking for people who are holding Amc, the clock is ticking for people who are short selling it. And the higher that Amc can go, the more pressure Shorts are going to feel to buy back shares and push it even higher. It's a really interesting situation because even if retail just holds, they don't buy anymore. They just hold well.

Emc is still going to go up because shorts are holding ticking time bombs. They have to cover eventually. and the more and more shorts that have to cover and the less shares that are available to buy, the more Amc is going to go up and the more Amc goes up, the more shorts are going to have to cover. So this is like a short squeeze scenario on steroids.

Now at the same time, short sellers aren't just taking this bending over. Hey, you can have a lot more short sellers come into the market and try to crush it down and spread fear campaigns. And the liability is hey, wait a second. If you're a retail trader, you probably three extra money this week so you're like yo.

I could risk it for the biscuit and try to get it up to 100 or 200 or whatever. Or I could lock in profits while I'm up. And if retail traders start locking in profits, that creates some selling pressure where short sellers can then pounce even further and then more retail traders are gonna be like, okay, I'm gonna go lock in my profits as well. Hedge funds are counting on retail traders selling out of their positions and they're counting on that happening soon.

And honestly, I can't blame a retail trader for wanting to sell out at a 3x gain. But it's a very, very interesting dilemma because if retail stays the course, hey, this can go much, much higher. But if a large subsection of retail decides to sell, well, this could be over. And honestly, if you look at the temperature from what we've been seeing from folks, it looks like people are more rallied up than ever to buy Amc.

But keep in mind during dips people don't like buying back in. it's all fun and games to buy it when you see it going up in momentum. But retail traders tend to get discouraged when things start pushing back and they tend to get encouraged when things keep going up. So it's really up to retail, how far this is gonna go.

And again, I'm not saying whether you should buy or sell it, I'm just presenting the scenario here and you probably want to know how far this can go if retail decides to keep showing up. Well, just to give you a little bit of a ballpark estimate, let's go back to the Gamestop versus Amc comparison. So Gamestop went from about 20 to 513 in the matter of two weeks. In comparison, this round of squeezing has brought Amc from nine dollars to twenty nine dollars.

In Gamestop's case, it went up about twenty five hundred percent in two weeks. In the Amc case, it's only got up about 222. And I mean, even without the pandemic, and without the whole hedge fund retail war, Amc would probably be trading at five or six bucks. and even five to 29 bucks is nothing compared to Gamestops Rally.

And that's considering all else being equal. in this situation. there's the potential for the heat to get turned up a lot hotter because short sellers are very, very aggressively scaling up their shorts, and retail is getting very, very aggressive with their purchases. and again, at the end of the day, the judge of whether this is going to work or not it's going to be based on how many retail traders are going to buy it and I'm not organizing people to buy it, I'm just informing you on what the situation is at the end of the day.

Folks, this is about as dirty of a battlefield as it gets and nobody can really predict the outcome. I have some optimism that retail is going to keep showing up, but if you put enough fun in the market, if you put enough fear back into this Amc stock price and you get rid of that euphoria. Hey, a lot of retail traders are going to want to take their profits and run. Nobody wants me to say anything negative about Amc because they want to just keep it going forward.

But I'm not saying anything negative, just you have to take responsibility for the consequences of this. There's a million different things that could happen here that totally destroy this movement. Remember what happened in January? Nobody saw Robin Hood deciding to shut down trades and screwing over people When that's what really started the downtrend? Who would have thought they allowed people to sell and not buy? There's a million different things that can go wrong. So at the end of the day, folks, you got to know what you're getting yourself into and I would not fault you for having a risk management plan or at least having some sort of idea of when you're going to sell out.

And I also wouldn't fault you for buying the dip. It's just up to you and based on what you think is worth the risk for yourself, that caps off the video. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us below. Let me know what you think about Amc down below as well.
