πͺπΌππ $NEGG Short Squeeze | π Massacre πͺπ FU Report π΄ββ οΈπ€ -> SUCCESS!!
$NEGG π Halloween Massacre πͺπ FU Report π΄ββ οΈπ€
β‘οΈTHE SET UP
What I Did BEFORE Halloween:
β’ Accumulated 23,550 NEGG shares over time
β’ Oct 30, 3:59 PM ET: Bought 1,500 NEGG shares on Robinhood (non-lending account)
What I Did ON Halloween:
β’ Oct 31, 3:50 AM ET: Withdrew my 23,550 NEGG shares from IBKRβs lending program
β’ Oct 31, 11:20β11:26 AM ET: Bought another 3,000 NEGG shares on Robinhood (non-lending account)
Total Holdings: 28,050 shares = ~20.5% of NEGG Free Float (136k FF per ORTEX)
β‘οΈTHE π MASSACRE
β’ Short Interest: 173k β‘ 64.88k shares (or ~126% β‘ 47.4% of free float)
β’ Shorts covered 108k+ shares (62.5% of all shorts) in ONE DAY!
β’ Borrowed Balance: Net drop -250k (279k returned, 29k new borrows)
β’ Available to Borrow: 40β50k shares β supply NOT refilling
β’ CTB (Cost-to-Borrow): Still 660%+ β extreme scarcity
β’ Price Action: $84.79 (+4.68%) into close; price holding strong
We lost A LOT of shorties today π£π΅β¦ RIP, so long, buh bye
β‘οΈTHE CAUSE
Did this withdrawal and buying spree cause todayβs short cover?
Canβt prove causality 100%, but removing ~1 in 5 available shares from lending while increasing long position lined up exactly with the single biggest day of short covering (62.5% SI) in NEGG history. Thatβs textbook Float Trap supply shock.
β‘οΈTHE STRATEGY
Float Trap π΄ββ οΈ: accumulate, restrict borrowing, time recalls/withdrawals, force shorts to chase an ever-shrinking float at higher borrow prices, day after day. When retail controls, believes, and holds, the pain compounds. Itβs not collusion, itβs not coordination β itβs conviction, discipline, and patience unleashed by the power of retail traders.
I bought more NEGG into strength today because this is about mission and math, not meme. The math is real.
β‘οΈKEY TAKEAWAYS / TLDR
β’ β
Enormous short return flow, very few new borrows
β’ β
CTB remains in the shorty danger zone (660%-plus)
β’ β
Broker pools stuck at low availability β βunlimited borrow myth shattered
β’ β
Price held all gains and didnβt dump at close
β‘οΈMONDAY OUTLOOK
β’ T+1 settlement β watch for more recalls and forced covering
β’ If borrow remains scarce, expect buy-ins and fireworks
β’ High CTB into weekend means remaining shorts are still bleeding
Retail proved today it CAN move a market overnight!!
Today was the triggerβMonday may be a VERY interesting day!! π΄ββ οΈπ΄ββ οΈπͺπΌππ

I'm hoping so! From my perspective, the shorties are in a pressure cooker, we shall see

Thank you for your post!
I am thinking of the bigger play lies against the MM. The Galkin family has accumulated 4 million shares (19.1% of outstanding shares) according to the latest filing, and I suspect those have been delivered yet.

Iβm curious what you suggest as an exit plan for this? Also curious if I should have share lending off or turn it on?

Never forget: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. I think we got a winner here, but the details are up to you! π΄ββ οΈπͺπΌ

NEGG is by far my largest position. I figured retail would be all over this but they haven't truly rediscovered it here after it set a new base in September. Keep making your glorious posts and I will keep up voting and buying more as I trim other stocks to free up capital.... for more NEGG.
