You know, i'm asked all the time trey, what is going to be the catalyst to make amc, have its its freaking momentous, monstrous uh prophecy day right, and i i've thought about that question a lot and i didn't have an answer for a very long time and I i watched what i'd consider to be uh matt, coor's, best interview to date with uh with with mark. This is a phenomenal phenomenal interview uh on twitter. If you wan na check this guy out, his name is alder lane eggs, and this is, i think, what has answered my question. It's a it's a very solid interview and it is what happened in january right and i've got a couple of things that i kind of want to go over here.

But in january you had you know this sort of fluff circus as marx says: uh congress congressional hearing and people are talked to you've got rory kitty gets pulled in you've, got vlad, tennant you've got uh ken griffin, you've got melvin catholic you've got all these big Parties that are essentially just dancing with each other right, they're saying a bunch of nonsense, a bunch of and not really getting anything done, but at the end of the day, what actually was accomplished? What came out what truth came out? What answers that people have as to the reason behind why the buy button was stolen, because, ultimately, nothing ended up happening. We talked about it. We saw that the buy button was taken away and people lost money and this and that right. But at the end of the day, i don't think i don't think uh the the news and media and the feds really truly understand the magnitude of the consequences of that billions of dollars were stolen from people like you and me and anybody i lost.

I remember the time i count had forty thousand dollars in it. At the end of it, i had like 10 grand, i got smoked, cleaned out, absolutely freaking demolished. You know, and that happens to a lot of people. It happened to a lot of people and they're.

Just pretending nothing even happened in fact, you've got gamification. Instead, it's experts weighing in on on brokers, uh being the problem that oh you're just you're, just basically telling people they should gamble they should they should buy these stocks instead of actually addressing the problem, which is why do people want to buy these stocks? In the first place, why not, why not tesla, why not x? Why not? Why? Why not z? It's it's always pointing fingers at the little guy and saying: how can we get these guys to not buy this given security? How do we get them to not buy this stock instead of actually looking at the problem? You've got freaking people like iceberg research coming out and saying: hey we're short on amc stock and we think it's it's overvalued and the apes got this all wrong and blah blah blah blah blah. You've got all this sort of nonsense. Coming up right, you've got citadel securities out of nowhere starting to come up and try and cover their butts about conspiracy, theorists and planted lawyers and this and that using very specific words as to try and defend themselves.

That's not a coincidence. My friends and i want to go back, and i want to talk about what i think the most important takeaway from this video is, which is january 27th, the day of all of the nonsense right. What actually ended up happening? Well, you guys better, not forget it, and if you weren't a part of this movement back, then the buy button was taken away. To me, this is comparable to 2008, where, where you've got millions and billions of dollars which was transferred from one party, coincidentally enough to poor to the rich once again and what actually ended up taking place here.

Well, if you watch my video uh reacting to the conversation that charles gasparino had talking about ken griffin and talking about citadel and this, and that i pointed out that i think it's a bunch of, then i think politicians and the feds and big banks and and Firms are all sleeping with each other, holding their dogs in each other's hands and beating each other's meat, and i do stand by that statement and i want to talk about what actually happened right, so you have 100 million shares of free float back in january. This is a number that i pulled from right here and on january 27th they had 1.2 billion shares worth of volume. It doesn't mean that there was 1.2 billion shares that day, but what it does mean is there was that many shares that uh essentially were transacted right, whether there was a buy in a cell. It went back and forth in that way and how is that even possible right? I'm not gon na get into the the naked short thesis and all that sort of stuff, because i don't really think that's as important as taking away the buy button.

I want to show you guys why i think the buy button was taken away and the lead up into that sort of move right. So, let's just i got what is uh? What appears to be a pyramid drawing up right here at the top? You've got 100 million shares right. Let's check this out who's at the top you've got banks. Banks essentially will buy and hold shares, not even in anticipation of a favoring of any given stock, but more so so they can have transactions filled between different firms.

For example, citadel right, then, maybe maybe they like the stock - i think it'll increase in value and they do make money in that sort of way, but they accrue a cost to borrow an annualized interest rate by lending out stocks. So it's in their best interest to be able to do so, so they will and they have x amount of shares that they own for transactions both short and long. So they can borrow that stock out now. You've got cited all the firm right here on the second tier of this pyramid who wants to go and buy some shares.

They create their own short position right. They borrow shares from these banks, so they can sell them into the market. That is their established position. They say all right: look we're good to go the same thing with melvin capital.

They want to short this stock and they they do so right and then the third tier is this: the market maker - and this is where payment for order flow and conflict of interest. I think people really just need to wake the up, not retail, because these guys, these guys aren't sleeping you guys, aren't sleeping right. It's these freaking people that are sleeping in bed with each other. That apparently just don't care.

They just look the other way, but cinderella. The market maker now reacts to whatever is taking place by retail, so they will take care of orders from retail they'll fill those orders as well as hedge against them, because they're in the business of what mark would call a spread right. They want to manage the risk they want to hedge against risk and that's a necessity right, that's something they have to do so. They, hedge the orders of retail, now at the bottom of this tier you've, got robin hood and other brokers who ultimately go through citadel through payment for order flow to get orders filled so in this big freaking.

What i would like to call pyramid scheme of the current stock market, you have this order. You've got banks citadel the firm market makers, then brokers and then at the very bottom, you've got retail or getting their actual orders filled. Now i call this a pyramid scheme. Very bluntly, and very seriously, because i think it i think the stock market is a big freaking pyramid scheme, currently the way that it's built to take money from those who don't know any better.

Who will just sit there and take it like a good boy like a good girl, because that's the way that it's always been and they got busted pissing on the electric fence? It got freaking turned on and these guys are getting a little bit of they're getting zapped. You know what they did, they stopped buying. They took away the buy button. Why is that happening? Why would that happen in the first place? Well, this brings me back to january 27th, 1.2 billion shares of volume right.

Why would you have that much volume? Because you have this circle of events taking place right now? A firm establishes a short position in the case of citadel, for example, who is a market maker, essentially meaning they take care of transactions of retail and institutional investors, as well as their own firm. They have their own positions that they manage. They establish a short position and then you've got retail. Let's say they establish this position at two dollars: retail decides they want to buy up a stock.

The stock goes up right now, all of a sudden market makers, as well as citadel themselves, have to hedge their positions or double up on their positions or cover their positions and what happens when the supply of a stock runs out. This is why i've said many. Many times i do not think naked shorts are something that just float around in the market on any given day. This is a momentum sort of thing where you can physically see when the game is getting when the game has a cheat code in the back.

You were not given that code right, you you'll know it you'll see the stock you'll see the price, because you see it right here with freaking amc. You see that thing happen before your eyes and this process repeats over and over and over and over and over and over and where the true damage is done. I don't even think it's with shares. It's not with the shares right here right, the traditional short interest.

Sure you could very possibly have naked shorts but where's the true problem here. Contracts calls puts what ends up happening with calls and puts well, they need to be hedged for by market makers and what is, coincidentally, something that amc has going for it that many other stocks do not. It is the most heavily traded derivative in the stock market and, if not the most one of the most, it has an exponential amount of calls and puts that are constantly being traded on a week to week to they need to be hedged for right. And when these actually hit when they hit hard, they got to be bought.

The shares coinciding with those have to be bought, and sometimes that means in the case of amc and gamestop, that there's just not enough shares for the transaction to take place and you get naked shares created which creates uh. What you just saw back here with 27 uh 1.2 billion total volume on any given day on january 27th. Right, i think personally, that's my hypothesis behind what actually happened, but that's not even what i want to make this video about. I'm going to wrap it up with this one to keep it nice and short right.

Why and how was the buy button stolen? Ultimately, i think that is the most important takeaway to grab from this video. With mark this interview with mark that uh matt coors did a phenomenal job on is why and how was the buy button taken away? Was it nefarious? I think it's very obvious to me that uh it was that there was very obvious problems that did go down in conversations that were had whether it was between citadel and melvin capital and robin hood and feds and and politicians and x, y z, xyz xyz. Somebody made a decision in order to prevent melting of big firms and ultimately, i think, if you want the catalyst that is going to drive amc stock up, what is the better catalyst then to be proved. You were right the whole time that you were right.

The whole time - and these guys pretend like it's - you that you're just a gambling addict that you that you are just wrong, that uh, that you guys are just prophesizing that citadel had nothing to do with it citadel thinks you know we have our hands clean. We wiped that clean back. Didn't you guys see our congressional hearing way back in the day right that we already went over this? No, you want a catalyst guys. I think i've got it for you.

You find out people make enough noise, they talk to somebody. They uh they. They make this. No, the facts, the reasoning behind why the buy button was stolen.

You will get your catalyst, and this is, i think, the last thing that i want to say this is a conviction. Stock, amc, i'm just going to freaking, say it. If you're sweating over the one minute candles, if you're sweating on the day-to-day price action, if you're sweating over a weekly expiration call option, this, isn't your stock, it's not it's! Not this stock to me is about conviction in wrong right. This is a wrong doing.

This is wrongness and unfairness and unjustness this game, you're playing a game of chess and you have checkers pieces. While these guys are filling the board with queens. It's outrageous i mean that's what this is about: you're speaking out against nonsense about a market that was built to keep the people at the top at the top, and you want to make noise right, that's, ultimately what it comes down to so uh! That's what i'd love to see man, i'd, love to see it and that interview matt. You did a phenomenal job and mark you, you, that's! You laid some freaking scanning, some filthy, scum, and i was really i was pretty jacked to hear all this sort of stuff and ultimately, i think the enemy guys is much more complex.

Uh than than people are making it out. You know, i think you have market makers, options, market makers, citadel right all these big players they're all tied to a lot of different stuff banks, politicians, the fed right somebody had to make that decision to take away the buy button. And ultimately, i want to know why was it taken away? Who is the enemy who's? The reason that people lost billions of dollars that people lost out of something they could not control just like in 2008, they got absolutely butt slam, butt plug right, you're sitting back here with one of those diamonds, and you can't pull that thing out. Man, it's it's pretty freaking disgusting and i want people to forget that.

Don't forget that pain! Don't forget that anger, because that all this did for me was reinvigorated right and that's what i've got for this video, so blah blah blah. Do what you want to do like and subscribe whatever catch on the next one? Much love late taps, peace.
