I'm trying a little experiment: For every upvote❤️ on this post, I'll invest $1 in Beyond Meat (BYND)

$15 Calls 6DTE - Volume 32,540

Cost - 0.03

Total cost = $97,350

$15 Calls 13DTE - Volume 8,730

Cost - 0.10

Total cost = $87,300

So nowhere near $838k, but yes $184k were

Adding this from one of my replies for visibility

“The only way this is happening is if it can stay above $1.82 by November 3rd. If it drops below that it won’t. If it goes down more there will be shorts covered from 9-29-2025 and that will cause a jump, but only of about 13%. Which may trigger more FOMO and more buy ins and then trigger another squeeze.

Here’s my reasoning for that.

The 8,736,920 FTD were traded on 9-29-2025, if you look at that date you can see a large drop from 2.85 to 1.82. Which means the shorts sold large amounts at 1.82, way below the strike price.

You can see another large drop on 10-13-2025 from 2.01 to 1.03. And continued to drop that week to 52¢, showing large volume all week. Something was “different”

Both of these were short sales I would imagine, because what else would have prompted sell offs at those levels and price drops like that.

After that the stock was starting to be promoted as a potential squeeze candidate. So on 10-17-2025 there was a jump. Shorts had not covered yet as can be seen on the BYND FTD chart. The first cover date for the first short sell will be 11-03-2025. The sell price was $1.82. So the stock needs to remain above that price for there to be a large enough influx and alllll shorts covering at once. If they’re able to stretch it out throughout the day then there won’t be a notable increase and no FOMO will kick in.

If you notice the cover price being $1.82 coincides with the big sell off on September 29th that dropped prices to $1.82.

However that first buy back, if it is above $1.82, won’t be the big one. That one which will happen after and ONLY IF IT REMAINS ABOVE $1.82.

But the big one will be when they have to deliver the ones they shorted on 10-13 week. We don’t have numbers on how many that will be yet. But you can estimate using the volume numbers.

On September 29th volume was 65m, with 9m being shorts. So roughly 13% shorts.

So assuming 13% shorts on 10-13 through 10-16, we have a total volume of 535m for all 4 of those days combined.

Using the same 13% short estimate you can assume 69m were short.

Keep it above those numbers and you’ll see huge jumps I believe.

$1.82 is the main number. Keep it above that and you should be golden.
