Good afternoon you bunch of freaking beautiful people, here's your boy trey from tracerates back again with the mulliken brothers, the apes together, strong doc creators, the absolute legends and geniuses who are putting together the story of the apes by the apes for the apes. How are you guys doing today doing good doing great yeah, beautiful weather here in portland i'll tell you what uh hyundai commercials popping up lunch? It's been. It's been raining in oklahoma for like the last two weeks, i'm so glad i was on vacation just a couple days ago, but it's it's great to have you guys here and ultimately we won't want to waste people's time here with memorial day, but i do want To take, you know, 30 seconds 60 seconds to give out a quick message before we get into the potatoes today, which is you know, the real story behind memorial day. Obviously we we know what today is all about.
We know it embodies and it's good to spend time with family and friends and celebrate. You know you know the people around you, but i think it's also important to remember to reflect to mourn it to celebrate the people who sacrifice. You know a lot so that we can talk about the exact things that we're talking about right now. You know my uh, my father was in the military for 25 years.
My grandpa was a vietnam vet and it's important to recognize that they set the stones so that uh, you know us three of the people watching this stream can live a free life, so uh much much thanks to everybody out there who served and who paid a Sacrifice for the american people, it's it's much appreciated, but without further ado. What's this project man for all those new people out there give us the holy grail of uh of what this apes together. Strong dock is all about hell, yeah, um! Sorry i had my other computer was on listening to you in the other room yeah. That's all good man for everyone who doesn't know for the mulligan brothers, i'm finley brother quinn, um, and what we're trying to do is tell the truth about all of you and what's happening in our markets today with the short squeeze of a lifetime potentially.
But more importantly, the paradigm shift that's happening between retail investment and wall street um we've been holding uh amc and gme. Since early january, we've been a part of every major battle since 801, the the rise in gma all the way down to sub 40, and in that moment in particular, we my brother and i kind of looked at each other and said you know something important is Happening here we have to start documenting and make sure that this story is told right, because the media is certainly doing a terrible job of telling everyone what's going on, and if we don't try to control the narrative ourselves, someone else is going to do it. So we decided that the way that we can help this movement in this community is by using the tools that we have, which is filmmaking, so we decided to make the project and i've been cruising ever since brother. I leave anything out there uh. No, i just kind of want the second trey's intro there about memorial's day her dad's vietnam, vet uh. He had pretty bad post-traumatic stress. So if you have an opportunity to donate your time to some organization, that's helping veterans in some way, particularly after the fact do it. We appreciate your thoughts on this day, absolutely quinn, absolutely so.
I kind of want to talk about a couple different pivotal points about the documentary that i've seen questions on on twitter. I'm sure you guys have seen them too, but this is obviously a great unifying point to to make clarifications if that needs to be the case before i do that, i just wanted everybody know: that's watching right now, there's going to be a q, a at the End it'll be about 10 minutes long. So if you have any questions or that sort of thing save it till the end and we'll definitely get back to you guys and answer any questions. But the first thing i kind of wanted to ask questions about, because i've seen this all over the place is: why do we want to start the documentary now? Why are we worried about the documentary now when the squeeze hasn't squeezed? Yet you know we're obviously very close, i think we're weeks away, but i think that's a fair concern that can be addressed.
You know by by just simple uh. You know explanation from you guys because you've been in this industry. You've done similar things before and you've got a great background. Just walk us through.
Why uh? Why you want to start it now, instead of after the squeeze began, take a lot of preparation. You know to create, so we need to have all our planning, um and organization all set up before we start. The story is also unfolding as we speak. You know.
A lot of things have happened since the starting of this saga and we'd like to make sure that we don't miss anything along the way, especially you know. If and when it does squeeze. We want to be able to capture that, for the documentary that's going to be a a big moment, so yeah brother, you want to add anything to that yeah i mean just like you kind of hit the nail on the head. It's like we'd rather make this movie in the moment, then like reflect and reflect on the moment and make it that way.
You know so we're already starting. I mean we're films take a long time to put together like the business of filmmaking. There's there's legal there's scheduling, there's organization, there's like there's all kinds of kind of paperwork - research type stuff that we have to start now i mean that that stuff takes weeks months, even so for us to be able to build the team, build our subjects build out. Our schedule and in the narrative plan of the film we have to start early, and also we just don't want to miss it when this thing explodes more than it already has how much paperwork goes into making a movie and like just to talk about the media And how they're they're, portraying everything like there's no time like the present to correct that story and to tell it right so that's the other thing is, you know time is of the essence before it's too late and the history books have already written a different story Than then should be written and that's what i think is really fascinating about this, this documentary is, is that it is told by apes. I mean you're pulling a lot of information, a lot of videos, a lot of stories from individual people. I i think that's a really important piece of this to discuss is like that's the whole embodiment of this this this movement, the amc movement, is the idea of we, as the little guy have a stronger voice when we come together to do something collective, you know, I think that's that's what people uh they care about. Ultimately, and that's also, i think what they're scared about which is important to to say. You know, i, i think, there's some people who might be riding amc as as clout chasers and guys who are trying to make the money and xyz right.
But you guys are really out here trying to do something. That is for the people, which i think is an important message to kind of get across um one question that i've got and we'll get into kind of this. This big announcement that i'm very excited for you guys to lay the freaking scunion on, is so who are some of the people that you've gotten into the documentary so far? Who are some people on the schedule? How is this all lined up uh? What's? What's the structure looking like, do you have any update as to what the people can expect for when this does come out? Yeah i mean the team, like our subjects, are we're trying to keep it varied right, like we need market experts to try to fill out the questions that we have. We need uh doing this due diligence like you know, apes that are on the front lines as it were uh.
We need apes themselves to be telling their stories so uh people like trey, like you're, one of them. Of course, your stories, your story in its own right, is really interesting and great, but you as um a youtuber, providing kind of like a a town square or a public house for people to share and give ideas, is an important part of this movement. So that perspective, we have experts like dave lauer, on board, dennis keller of better markets. I mean these are heavy hitters in the financial industry and who are affecting policy and change so uh, adam or sorry, austin, tobit etobin, on reddit who's, written house of cards.
One two and three, like he's amazing, and what he's uncovered and subsequently had peer reviewed with, like dr suzanne trimbath um, is really indicative of how amazing this whole thing can can be and how we can affect change so um. The list just keeps getting better and better and we're really telling the story about all of you, but making sure that within that entertaining, you know heartfelt story that we're actually uncovering um. What people need to know about what's happening in the markets, and hopefully we can spark some people to make some real change, absolutely amen, brother. You know what i think this is a beautiful segue into. I think what you guys are most excited to uh. Tell people about so you you might as well uh freaking let her buck in and uh give out that awesome announcement that i have the pleasure of knowing a little bit ahead of time. Hell yeah, i mean with all these people that we're interviewing. Obviously, we want to include um ceos of these companies and their perspective of as being someone who has uh experience, trying to run a company while being preyed upon by uh short sellers, um and so adam aaron.
We were the other day we were walking we're trying to brainstorm a scene for the film, and then i got a phone call and he's like hey it's adam aaron's, like oh, okay, hi, so he's called me up and um. We had been talking on twitter. A little bit - and he said, he'd - absolutely love to be in the film um. His perspective, for us, of course, is super fascinating, we'd love to get more people like that, but adam aaron is going to be in the film for an interview breaks together, strong yeah dude.
You guys should be so jacked. Let's go! That's pretty jacked up. That's so cool, oh yeah, we're super stoked come on ryan. I mean that just that, that's it i mean the way he's um interacted with his with his you know, share holders and his his company has been pretty fascinating to watch.
You know it's. It's he's really taking note of the power that this collective has to make real change, and you know this new investment, this ape investor right, like they buy stocks that they like, and then they hold those stocks as if that was a bad thing you know. So i don't know it's been fascinating to watch how he's been interacting and um we'd love to ask him questions and get his perspective so we're over the moon as it were. Yeah i mean yeah, it's uh.
It's going to be an interesting conversation. I'm really excited to see what he has to say about all this. I think he's an interesting character because he's kind of this hybrid of he's - a ceo of a company right, obviously he's got to be professional - he's got to manage his company he's got to do what suits do right, but he's also shown that he's supportive of the Apes - and i would honestly consider him an ape - you know so - you've kind of got this middle ground between what, what's like the actual industry, right, the stock markets, the the companies, how the mechanisms work and you can get kind of first-hand. You know experience on what is actually going on behind the scenes and how he's you know dealing with that.
Alongside of how it feels to like watch a community of people who absolutely freaking love the company, essentially save a company, because it's not something he could have done by himself. It's uh, it's something that we all did together collectively is the apes and i'm freaking super excited to see uh to see him on there. Man, that's gon na, be so goddamn cool for sure, yeah. Totally it's okay, we're gon na, hopefully keep that dialogue going and then you know if you're listening adam, you know we can maybe show our film premiere, no pressure, no pressure, but next step. We'll talk, okay, so the next piece that i kind of want to get into is obviously you know, documentaries take money to to make right, and this is something that you guys have been very public and transparent about on twitter. With your with your website, the platform right talk a little bit about this crowdfund and what this means, and then after you say something i just like to to give my little piece on on that crowdfund as well, but please uh explain what this whole process is. Uh, what you're, looking at with with this uh, this crowdfund yeah, i mean we want to compete at the top tier of filmmaking in the industry. With this with this project, you know we want to get your faces at the oscars.
You know so i mean making a film at that level is not cheap. You know, legal alone is nearly 50 grand in some cases. So, like all of the like, it's like, i said before, the business of filmmaking is it's a big cumbersome process and it just costs money um, so we're trying to crowdfund as much as we can within the community. We really believe in everybody's voice and voting with their dollar, so uh we're trying to um make sure to involve you guys throughout the process.
Our our goal we're trying to reach 500 000 for their crowdfund, but we don't reach with that. We're going to try to find traditional investment, that sort of thing but um honestly to get this thing up there on as many screens as possible and looking as amazing as possible. We're gon na shoot high and try to do this thing at the top level of what you see in in hollywood. You know and honestly, like 500 000 is not a lot for a documentary these days you know.
Most netflix is a million two million whatever. So we're trying to do it as as lean as possible, but also as good as possible, and not sacrifice the things that are really going to have. This thing compete with every of the other people telling the same story essentially but from we think the wrong perspective. Anything you want to add to that quinn, oh just that it's um.
You know important to us that this is as polished and clean as possible. You know we need to make sure that, like my brother said competing at the highest level possible, the more accessible and entertaining and well put together. This film is the wider that audience is going to be that we're going to be able to reach you know and if it's, if it's really clean and polished, which it will be, you know no matter where we get we're. Gon na put everything into this film um. You know that affects distribution, all kinds of stuff, so yeah, the wider. We want to as wide of an audience as possible and the best chance at winning some awards to bring as much uh awareness to this topic as possible. You know, of course, yeah yeah would like to win some awards too, but yeah yeah, but it's important to reach a wide audience and um yeah. I think by doing this crowdfunding right we can.
We can do that. You know, and i i've seen a couple - people express concerns and you guys feel free to speak up after this, but i kind of want to offer my two cents on this right. I i think it's important to to walk the walk. You know you can't you can't say one thing and then do another so about this crowdfund right um.
I am absolutely supportive of this by the way, obviously uh. I think it's it's first, the most important priority as an individual person, if you've only gotten money to do x and you've got kind of this sub task over here right, obviously, you have to take care of x. You got to feed yourself. You got to pay your bills, you got to invest in stocks, do what you have do, whatever you got to do right? That's the most important thing! Uh this! This crowdfund, i think, where we really need to double down, is we're not asking you to choose between amc, stock and crowdfund investment.
In fact, i think that's probably the wrong way to do it. I think first off you should, you know, take care of yourself take opportunity with this squeeze. If that's what you're interested in and buy mcstock this crowdfund right, this raising of money is solely for the reason of if you want to support this film by the apes for the apes right, that's an opportunity for you to do so nobody's sitting here saying you Got ta: do it and i'll tell you here, first and foremost that by mid-june next month, i'll have already invested just shy of 45 000 into this documentary, so i'm absolutely supportive of it. This is not something i would preach on my channel if i did not think it was a awesome opportunity to have people's stories told and these guys were the real deal.
So i think that's a really important message to pass along and if you guys have anything you want to say about that, obviously feel free to add in, of course, my internet craps out right in the middle of you talking so all right by the way um. I brother you: why don't you take this one yeah? Definitely, you know take care of yourself. First uh, you know we're gon na try and raise as much as we can through crowdfunding um. It's important that you only put in what you can afford to put in.
You know, um. If you can only do five. Ten bucks, that's fine! If you can do ten grand, that's really fine, but you know it's whatever you're comfortable with uh, whatever it means to you to see this film get made and have these stories told um, you know, don't um, don't don't kill yourself over it man, but if you Can support anything just share it out. You know share the word about the project, the more eyes on this thing, the better, mostly because these stories are important to tell we think you know, and there are like if there's been the argument of like oh absolutely do stuff for free. That's why you need the crowd football. The thing is, we feel that artists for doing their time deserve to get paid. I mean how many musicians out there you know have been asked to do their friend's wedding for free and it's like that's how you make money. Your money so like anyone who comes on the project, if you're like a dp or whatever you know like a camera guy, um camera girl, camera woman, camera leg, um, you get dessert, get paid, you know so um we're mostly crowdfunding.
So we can pay our crew and take care of the logistical side of things. So it's all important stuff. Absolutely, i think that's the majority of the the main topics is there any other things that you guys want to? You know roll with or tell everybody. That's watching right now before we get into you know this 10-minute q, a section where people can ask you guys questions about the documentary.
I mean we're just really really excited. I mean it comes down to really like why we made this film in the first place. You know these. The media would have you to believe that it's a bunch of you know, 32 year old white guy is hell bent on a quick scam on the internet, but, like the truth is like you can't put these people in a box right: they're, germans, they're, koreans they're! You know people from sri lanka, they're oregonian, canadians, they're men, women, black white, like right, left like this, this group of people, more than you know, almost a third of americans and, like millions more across the world, are a part of this movement in our film.
We just we want it to be entertaining to have the personality of the community. You know the memes, the comedy the heart from all of you, and i think us telling it from the perspective of people who have been in this from the beginning and actually are one of you. Aides is the only way you're going to have that in an authentic way. You know other people are going to make great films.
Ours is going to be different in that it's actually coming from the community outward. So that's kind of that's what's important to me about it anyway, absolutely man that was that was a great way. To sum it up. You've got way uh way better way with words than this.
This smooth brain guy over here i'll tell you that right now, rock on my brain's, not so wrinkled all right all right! Well, you know what we're going to do is we're going to open it up to uh to anybody. Who's got questions for the next 10 minutes, or so so this is coming from big blue gaming. He says: are these guys investing into amc as well? Do they even eat crayons, let's see their portfolio, and we should all support so big blue game. If you guys are investing so a couple things our first video that released i'm eating crayons in it so yeah, so please check it out. Yeah literally eating childhood crayons that we borrowed from my grandma yeah, totally uh. We i i'm we're both invested in amc and i'm i'm not going to share my position. Yeah we're both invested in in both stocks. It's the only two stocks i own um, so yeah we're we're uh.
I mean check history on on on reddit on twitter yeah. I'm you alberto on reddit, he's you cyclops qhm, like you'll, see even before this project us asking and trying to do our own horrible dd's and that sort of thing so yeah we've been around man. I mostly commented on the fermenting subreddit, so you guys take eating koreans to a whole new level. Okay, that's so awesome you're not supposed to no! I i i that's that's what i always say.
They always say: hey we eat crayons, but you guys are really doing it. Dang, that's crazy! All right! It's hurting my stomach, that's not good, yeah! Sure, okay, we got uh feel free to put my banner plane video in the movie. It would be honored just to see so it's coming from jf wall street viking there's some people you've probably seen it guys that have been paying to fly planes with banners over like different parts of the united states and over the world. I think that would definitely be a really cool thing to put in the documentary you guys have probably already thought of that.
I'm guessing, but that's a huge point that jf wall street vikings said for sure yeah. If anyone has any uh footage of that. Of course, you know we have 4k footage, that'd be great uh, just send it over to info apestogetherstrongdoc.com uh hell yeah. We want to see that in the documentary.
That's some crazy yeah. I mean on twitter what like cat striker's been doing on twitter as well. We talked to her for a while and like it's. You know.
There's part of this documentary we'll have to focus on this, like the hype around this community and the excitement so yeah. We're sure that that'll be that'll play a role somehow in in the narrative for sure yeah huge yeah. That's that's the big thing about this doc too, is like there. There are videos and segments and clips that are literally getting taken from regular, everyday people like you and me who uh, who are just a part of this cause me it's like absolutely 100, double down on the fact that if you want to see something in that Doc shoot shoot your stuff over to that email.
I mean you've got nothing but uh opportunity without a doubt yeah, and if you can tweet us whatever, like we'll answer, you go on reddit twitter, whatever like we're on there, all the time making sure we're engaging. You know it takes a lot of time, but it's important to us that we're actually talking to all of you because, like because we are one of you like that's the other thing right, we're not some weirdos coming from outside. Trying to you know, profit off your back, so we will absolutely talk and engage. It's worth mentioning that on our website. We have a portal where you can submit your own story, so take a a video of yourself uh and then telling your story and why you're? In into the stock and submit it to our website, that's been amazing. The videos we've gotten have been incredible from all over the world. Generally people just saying that they want to help their communities they want to help their families. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
It's really hard not to get emotional watching these videos, because you know i can see a lot of our own story in it. Um and just the similarities behind all these people that are kind of just struggling to exist in the world, which has is more wealthy than it's ever been it's it's. It's frustrating so um. It's interesting! Why? These all these people have gotten into this.
At the same time, too, so if you have a story that you'd like to tell us, um submit it to the website, we would love to see it. It's your. Why man, it's your! Why it's it's? It's absolutely your story and everybody's story matters, and i think that's the that's what people would gravitate towards because it you know, regardless of your differences, it's a a polarizing. You know opportunity where you can all come together under one one roof which is really freaking sick to see.
Ah right, i had an idea coming from christina duckworth. She says: is there a way to include the apes and the credits maybe create a hashtag? I don't know the answer to this: a hashtag or something or those who support love. All you guys. What do you say to that? Mulligan brothers? Hell, yes, i mean, with the the reddit usernames alone, are probably going to give us like an r rating like because hilarious 2069.
i mean, if you, if you donate to the to the crowd fund, like your name, goes into the credits. You get a free copy of the film at our lowest level at 30 bucks. So like that's one way, um like anyone who, like contributes, of course you're gon na be in there like, but yeah the the twitter handles the reddit names. Your real names is going to be quite the list of special thanks.
That's for sure, so i will say if it's like uh, you know super racist or misogynistic, or anything like that. We're not going to put in yeah, obviously right right right, heads up, so this is a good twitter. This is coming from meditate and relax with sam he's saying. Is it too late? If we want to get involved with sending clips in not at all do it? We want to see your videos too easy easy easy.
Also, if you hear snoring, that's not me, that's it's! My pug passed out. No, it's definitely you man, it's definitely you yeah yeah, i'd love to see it. Oh man, everybody there's a couple of people in the chat bar tell me to put my glasses on they're, not by me right now, so you guys are out of luck. I apologize finley is a better man than i am. I love how they look out for you. Oh, that reminds me all right, so here's nut bush villain says just wanted to. Thank you guys for taking the time and effort to do this can't wait to see it. That's good.
One thing i haven't heard from in all this is a perspective from anyone who worked in the hedge funds. Do you interview any hedge fund people great freaking, question adam, because we actually have an answer for that go ahead? We really want to yes great question. We love seeing it absolutely like it's important. You know like we were watching uh the inside job uh the other day and like the way that they incorporate you know counter perspective is really successful and, like we'd be stupid not like we didn't this, isn't a hype movie.
You know like, hopefully you get pumped and it's it hypes you just because you're so invested in in making change. So in that way, it'll you know hopefully it'll be exciting, but like it really is a social issue film. So by not showing that other perspective would be doing a disservice, so uh yeah, we absolutely want to you, know like we'll interview anybody. You know all right.
Ken kenny g out there richard midfield yeah do all of it. Yeah, like we really want to have that perspective, so yes, awesome right on we'll take uh two more questions for these guys mike lisa's legacy. I absolutely agree brother, no question here. Just 100 percent support of the ape nation.
Uh all right seems like a lot of people are digging this thanks for all your hard work. Will the film be a lot like the documentary? Don't with cats hunting an internet killer? I love that documentary. I think it's great and that's um. It's a good counterpoint.
That's one of the first documentaries i thought of when we started thinking about how we want to make this film so hell yeah. I love that doc, it's a good one, so i mean that the big short - it's, not a documentary, of course, but like the voice of the narration, is really successful and how it is entertaining, but also break down these really complicated issues like that's going to be The battle right when it comes to style of the film is: how do we make you know naked short selling, ftds rehabilitation like how to make these things like fun to watch so that'll, be our challenge and yeah movies, like that, are great kind of guiding uh Films for us, obviously, that's the part i'm most excited for with making this film other than getting your stories out there, of course, but it's going to be so much fun to find creative ways to to explain these more complicated concepts. I'm i'm really excited to get into that. I think that's.
What's kind of cool about the ape community, though, and it's an easy opportunity, like you're, going to have two different perspectives right, especially if you get some some suits in here that give their their offerings on things that they've seen and dealt with throughout amc or whatever It is you know, their decades of experience is you'll. Have those regular joes, the apes, who have learned all this stuff just by freaking, showing up every day and studying and learning everything every single day right and then you'll have these suits, who break it down their technical terms and and have different aspects and perspectives. But i i think it's going to be a fascinating opportunity to not only like uh, you know, learn something about what happened. The legacy that we're writing literally right now but uh, like you, said, like a social freaking psychological, i mean there's so much that's getting packed into this documentary. So yeah yeah. It's it's a lot. It certainly is, but there's a way to write. You know there's the most important thing is that we stay true to community and where we come from and make sure that we're we're actually showing the truth about who you all are and and what we're trying to do, because it's it's a beautiful thing.
Absolutely man all right, we are going to take one more question. I see miguel and the gyrand lee. I appreciate you guys dropping those super chats. We just want to answer one more question for anybody.
That's got one here uh. When is the release date and will there be pre and post pandemic views on how life has changed the past year, stock based yeah and we don't have a release date? Yet you know once we actually like plan and schedule this thing we'll have another picture we'd like to do it before the year's end, but i think the main thing is that we want to get across is like we're not going to finish before the story's finished. Yeah so there's there will be an end to ending this thing and we feel like we're in the third act, but uh we won't jump. The gun is kind of our promise to you and um.
We do there's plenty room for follow-up for sure. You know seeing where everybody is in uh in you know a year from now with their you know whether they buy a lambo or not, but seeing what everyone does and where they are like some people will lose everything. Some people will, you know, gain everything. So it'll be interesting to see where this all shakes up, but uh so yeah we don't have a release date yet, but we do want to have this thing finished before we actually finish our film rock on well, you know what i i think: that's that'll wrap Up this q, a uh, matt coors, we'll be in the documentary by the way, eric and trey's lamp will also be in the documentary, so we're cooking all right man is there any last word that you guys have to say about this documentary.
Obviously, we're gon na give you guys more updates as more stuff comes along, but we want to. You know, use this opportunity to give you guys a huge freaking update on adam aaron, getting in some of the big uh big dudes and big names. They're gon na be a part of this doc. Give you the update, see everything's cooking any last words guys it's been freaking awesome. Thank you so much for tuning in uh. If you can help support the documentary in any way, whether that's through a donation or through um spreading the word, you know sharing the link for that donation page. We appreciate it immensely and we are so excited to get started and telling you guys the story. Our story as well we've of that 500 000 we're trying to raise so far we're at about 41 000..
It's like anything you guys can do to help out. I know there's some whales out there. Oh you want this story, told so drop some dough on the project. You know one last thing one last question about this crowdfund.
I suppose so just clarification point right. If you were to put money into this crowdfund, is that a donation or is that an investment? I think this is probably something that we haven't been super clear about. So it's a good thing to ask. This is a donation.
We have different rewards for a different level. You get different credits at each different level. You know we have t-shirts, a backer exclusive t-shirt at 100 bucks, for instance - and you get a credit in the film you get all kinds of different perks as you go. If you go to apes together, strong dot com, slash donate all those levels are listed, just like a kickstarter.
The only reason we're not doing it on kickstarter is because they take 10 and, like everything you put into the movie, we want to go on the screen. As much as possible, so we're kind of dealing with logistics, ourselves so check out the website and you can kind of see what you can get there, but it is not an investment. It is a donation for the crowd fund, all right rock on too easy. Well, we won't take up any more of your guys's time.
I appreciate you uh, you know giving us. You know 30 minutes of your memorial day. Hope that uh hope that you guys have a good one man pop back a couple: beers grill some dogs and uh yeah and enjoy the rest of your monday and to the gym. Thank you.
Shane! Hey, seriously, appreciate everybody! That's tuned in here today, thanks for your time, you guys enjoy the rest of your memorial day as well. Like i said earlier in the stream uh, you know remember those who are gone. Remember those who are gone, reflect mourn and celebrate so uh thanks. Everybody who watched - obviously this is your boy trey and the mulligan brothers tuning out catch on the next one: much love and peace.
I would love to be in the The documentary especially since it’s July 1 and I just got in a week and a half ago. I could share my experience from the perspective of being a single dad and taking care of my parents. Out here in California
I am happy to be a part of this community. You guys are fucking lunatics I love it!!
Trey. Been watching for a couple months. You and other Youtubers. I just got about 40k. Not sure which Meme I should put it on. From your chanel I would say on AMC. AMC is #1 Bought in world for May. Other channels say GME is the most shorted, the Crux of All Meme Stocks and is the most likely to moon. It's $285. ouch. Others say to spread across all of them and KOSS, EXPR and NKD. I don't want to miss the moon. Help. I know its not Financial Advice, You are one of the sharpest of all the youtubers. Thanks
Beautiful weather in Portland? For how long? 10 minutes lol. Fucking Oregon can never make up its mind.
No more questions from you until you’ve read every word below.
For all of the new baby apes. I know a lot of you have questions, and I thought it would be helpful to provide you with some overall context to understand the significance of the movement you just joined.
Here’s the cliff note version. Covid hit last March and a couple of big hedge funds concocted a plan to drive AMC into bankruptcy by “shorting” it and make a ton of money in the process.
You “short” a company when you think the value of the stock is going to go down. When the country locked down and AMC closed their doors and their revenue literally went to $0 overnight, it was a no brainer play for the hedge funds.
So they started borrowing millions and millions of shares from brokers and sold them “short” at the market price at the time, and they pocketed the cash from the sale. The idea is that the stock price will drop, you can buy them back later at a lower price, and then return the borrowed shares to the broker and keep the difference. If the company goes bankrupt, the stock goes to $0 and they don’t have to buy anything back at all and keep everything.
This is what they were banking on. They’ve done this to company after company over the years, and they saw this as a sure thing as any.
Well a bunch of people on Reddit (affectionately known as “Apes”) noticed they were trying to drive AMC, GameStop and many other retail brick and mortar stores into bankruptcy, and banded together to buy up all the available shares, driving up the share price. This resulted in the mini squeeze in January. But Apes didnt sell after that. And the hedge funds didn’t cover their short positions either (I.e. buy back the millions of shares they had borrowed and sold short).
The Apes kept buying and buying, and holding and holding, and once the real shares were all bought up, the hedge funds doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on their short position and started making synthetic shares (IOUs) and selling those shares into the market trying to drive the price down. When the price dropped, instead of selling like the hedge funds wanted them to, Apes said “thank you very much for the discount” and kept buying more and holding. Nobody has sold for the past 5 months since the movement really got started in January, and more and more people are jumping in and adding more everyday.
Now because of all of the synthetic IOU shares the hedge funds have created to keep shorting AMC, us Apes likely own more way more shares than are actually supposed to exist (as much as 6x-8x by some estimates). But real or synthetic, each share the hedge funds sold short is a liability on their books that must be bought back in order to close out their position.
They literally have hundreds of millions of shares, possibly billions, to buy back, and we own them all. They have to buy them back eventually, and every day that the borrowed short shares are still on loan, the hedge funds are paying interest to the brokers they borrowed them from. Meanwhile it costs us nothing to hold.
Things started to come to a head in the first half of May when the interest rate on the borrowed shares was reported to be as high as 250% (1-2% is normal for your average stock), so the hedge funds were collectively paying hundreds of millions of dollars every day just to hold their position, and a couple of the smaller ones were starting to miss payments. That’s when we went from $9 to $17, as those little guys decided they couldn’t take the heat anymore.
Now we’re in the danger zone for the big boys. Not only so they have to make their daily interest payments on their borrowed shares, but their long (owned) and short (borrowed) positions are marked to market every day (adjusted to reflect current share price), and if their long positions aren’t enough to cover their short positions to a certain extent, then the bank who lent them the shares will get worried and demand that they return them immediately. That’s called a margin call.
And that’s when the fun starts. When the squeeze starts (note, this has not happened yet). At this point, the broker forces the hedge funds to buy back all of the hundreds of millions (or more likely
billions) of shares they have borrowed and sold short, because the broker doesn’t want the hedge funds’ recklessness to fall onto them. And remember, the Apes own all the shares and aren’t selling. The hedge funds can only buy a share for what an Ape is willing to sell it for, and us Apes really love our shares.
Once the margin calls start, the computers just start buying back all of the shares at the best available price no matter what that price may be. They all have to be bought back. Everything must be settled. And if the cheapest price an ape is willing to sell for is 1,000, or 10,000 or 100,000, well then that’s what the hedge funds will be forced to buy the borrowed shares back for in order to close out their position.
Apes are going to hold and hold and hold driving up the price further and further to make the hedge funds bleed as much as possible until they are inevitably forced to buy back their millions of shares. They will need to buy our shares, and we set the price.
And remember, it costs us nothing to hold. This movement has been building for the past 5 months, but you just heard about it yesterday. One thing Apes don’t do is set dates for the squeeze. Nobody knows when it will happen, all we know for sure is that the math says it’s inevitable as long as we hold.
I only see three possibilities as to how this all plays out:
1. AMC goes bankrupt and the hedgies win (please note this is not going to happen. AMC has enough liquidity to last them through 2022 and the most passionate shareholder base in the universe. Not to mention a pretty badass CEO who has completely embraced the new shareholder base)
2. Hedge funds are somehow able to meet their daily margin payments to avoid being margin called, and they strategically close out their short positions over time, causing a sustained Tesla type squeeze over a period of a year or more (remember, apes aren’t selling until we’re at the moon)
3. Hedge funds will be margin called and forced to buy everything all at once and we’ll have the most violent squeeze in the history of short squeezes. The price is infinite as long as apes hold.
I wouldn’t bet on #1, #2 will require patience, and #3 will be absolute insanity (and in my personal non-financial advisor opinion is the most likely outcome). Either way, we’re winning the battle. This beautiful movement is growing by the day, and we can hold longer than they can.
Never before has anything like this happened where millions of regular people have been able to band together to take on the billionaires who have been screwing them over time and time again, and be able to actually hit them where it really hurts. It is the big hedge fund himself on the other side (you know the one) who has his hands in all the retail brokerage apps to make sure our orders get routed to him to fill. And then they fill them with synthetic shares that they don’t even have and dig themselves even deeper. They created and marketed easy access to the stock market to the retail investor because they only saw the retail investor as prey. Just another way to bleed us dry. They never saw this coming.
Like I said, everything will eventually have to be settled. Margin calls are coming. And the SEC has already enacted several rules to prepare as much as possible for the catastrophic fallout from this event, and to make sure that something like this can never happen again. The millions of little guys with an app in their hand are a threat now, and I’m sure they’ll adapt to it. So this could very well be a once in a lifetime opportunity here. Although I’m not a financial advisor….
Hey trey,
Could you ask AA to launch a streaming service kind of Netflix or Disney, all the apes and retail investors will subscribe to the service for 19,95 simple math let say 5 million retail x 19,95 = 100 million x 12 = 1,2 billion revenue added per year…
You might want to use eBay to raise extra money for this concept documentary. Set up the donation request like a film investment opportunity with a donor credit at the end of the film.
A short sell squeeze is what lead VW to be saved and become one of America's strongest companies.
If the Citadel security sales in late May are for unregistered securities, how can you track the actual stocks?? The $28 billion stock sales are posted in several smaller sales, but the securities are unregistered securities and not easily trackable. Does the dark pool attach a Stock name for Citadel?? Other suggestions?
Adam Aaron is going to surprise you guys and probably just fund the whole movie at the end, mark my words!! 🎥🍿
Excellent Video, This setup is indeed very understandable, As a beginner, I’ve come to realize that experience beats hard work, I made weak profit investing on my own, but since the past 2 months I’ve been investing with the guidance of Mr Carlton Jefferson , I've made over $137,500 Profit with a trade capital of $17,000
Hollywood are a cult of low fucking monsters… THINK HIGHER. Make new everything.
Love these guys. You are making history. We’re in a bubble in time of magical; perhaps prophetical things. Corruption is having the curtain pulled on it and we change our navigation because of the exposure.
Tell the truth because all the powers that be are set against us. Tell on! Lovely apes!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you guys for lookin g out and spreading TRUTH!!
The only tangible advice I have for anyone that is coming into the stocks and crypto market is that it should be viewed as a long term investment and not short term on that note it will be unreasonable to follow trends in the media, rather it is advisable to practice a lot for the experience and to seek professional help.
There is a cool individual, who can be googled as 'Wallter Bulls trader". He made a fortune some years ago. Not long ago, such services have appeared that allow copying the results of professionals. This personage clearly shows how to copy him automatically using such a service. We gotta try while the market is on the rise.
DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE FROM OKLAHOMA 🔴Boomer Sooner ? “Oklahoma native , thank you for everything . MWC”
Awesome opening guys!!! New investor and Afghanistan veteran, you really help talk a lot of my questions through! Subscriber for life!
I had a dream I made £78,000 so looks like I'm willing to hold to around 360 dollars.
It is going to drop today… Mudrick Capitol is selling 230.5 million in shares… Just HOLD what you got
On June 1, 2021, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the ?Company?) issued to Mudrick Capital Management, LP, (?Mudrick?) 8,500,000 shares of the Company?s Class A common stock for $230,500,000.
AMC FOR SALE????
I've been watching your videos since February but disappointed that the funding of the documentary doe not proceeds to all the apes but only the guys who makes videos and if any future awards is all towards them.
If you're interviewing us apes, can I be one of the interviewees?
What part of Oklahoma you from Trey? I'm in Eastern Oklahoma by Fort Smith Arkansas.
I don't know if you guys are filming this SAG or non union. If you are going SAG and need some help I am a sag actor and APE in Los Angeles and would be happy to help. If you want it to be SAG you only need one SAG actor on your list to do so. Feel free to hit me up directly if I can be of service because as an APE SAG actor and lover of this movies I am stoked to see this thing fly. I don't know if either of you is handling the directing but I know an amazing director that is quite well considered and it would be my honor to introduce e you all.
Going to state the obvious. Hours before the market opens, the crypto market will tank!
Just another tactic by the hedgie to lure the retails away from AMC & GME.
I enjoyed your video, i am actually tired of worrying about stock and stuff…. It's driving me nuts these days I think crypto investment is far better than stocks..
Yeah, we stopped the communist Soviet badtards to conquer Finland during WW2.
We fought the winter war, continus war and at last the Lapland war, against the Waffen SS Nord Divisions and the Wehrmacht.
Finland was the only country with borders against Soviet Union that stayed independent after WW2, and that's because we fought them well, and did not give up.
Both of my grandfathers is in my thoughts.
This is EASILY the most important message I have to offer with this Documentary,
Please, please, please, DO NOT donate any money unless you are 1000% financially stable, have invested in any stocks you would like to invest in, and feel comfortable doing so. I will never shove shit down anybody's throat – peace and love to all apes
