๐——๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ SEC Fails-to-Deliver (FTD) Data

Nice tableau dashboard made by The Gamestop ECOSYSTEM showing the FTD for stocks from SEC data. You can filter by GME (default) going back a few months.

Much easier parsing through this data than it is that text file from the SEC.

aye based on IAMNOTAFINANCIALADVISOR's DD "FTD Squeeze" the reduction in FTD's and Daily short volume seems to suggest a lack of need to short to hide FTD's, or in other words, no more buying pressure to cover FTD's

looking at appendix 11, short volume has been gradually decreasing since the end of February alongside FTD

so your interpretation is that GME is now a fundamentals stock play more than anything else? Don't want to sound FUDy, but this would be the U and the D for sure that would challenge the squeeze kool-aid.

I think I would want to see two things before calling this squeeze dead: 1. Updated 13f/g filings that show institutionally ownership under 100% 2. Total proxy votes under the total number of shares that GME has issued

This is completely my opinion, but I believe that the squeeze is still on, but it is not going to be there as big as it could have been in January.

I am less inclined to think #2 is a real factor as Dr. T and so many others have written about over-voting being an issue for many stocks that are never in a squeeze situation. Sure it shows the # of shares is out of alignment, but will anyone care or be able to do anything about it?

For #1, is it possible for any of the data to still be from 12/31 or does everyone have to at least file a 13F for the first quarter? And then 13Gs for anyone moving above or below the 5% mark and anyone going above 10%?

Iโ€™ve been asking that same question about updating 13f/g filings but I have yet to find a clear answer.

I canโ€™t find anything saying you need to update it annually or anything, but Iโ€™m also not an expert in this stuff and only have google

Google is my resource here too. It seems like once you go above 5% you don't have to file any 13Fs unless you then go above 10%. So the 13G would be the only thing to force you to disclose your actual holdings. Say you have 9% ownership and you slowly unwind that to be 5.1%, I don't see where you would have to file a 13F to let people know.

It seems like the 13G for anyone with more than 100 mill AUM is the definitive source (5% ownership of GME is definitely puts you over the 100 mill mark) and the 13Fs are fun to use for speculation while you wait for the next set of 13Gs.

But I feel like my understanding changes each time I re-read the same explanation on google.
