So, let's listen to what Ken Griffin had to say . Те, що я не передбачив фінансову кризу 2008 року, було найбільшою помилкою моєї кар'єри . You see, we are paid to see the unexpected. And I did not realize the scale and depth of the financial crisis that was brewing in our banking system. Кризи настільки великої, що фактично кожен банк в Америці збанкрутував би, якби уряд не втрутився.
Every bank would go bankrupt. І після краху Lehman ми опинилися в ситуації боротьби за власне виживання. We found ourselves in a whirlwind of events . Ми втрачали сотні мільйонів доларів на тиждень, якщо не більше. CNBC parked a van in front of the Citadel, waiting to be the first to report our collapse.
Але ми не збиралися давати їм таку історію. You see, every day we took the steps necessary to support our business. We sold assets. Ми закривали бізнес-напрямки. We fired people. We have suspended payments. Our management team has taken on $500 million in expenses on behalf of investors to demonstrate our commitment to the business and belief in the future.
And each action gave us another day. And day after day we fought for our future. We often had to choose between painful and even more painful, but the one thing we didn't do was put things off until later. By the end of 2008, we had lost half of our capital. Але ми все ще залишалися в бізнесі. And we kept our team.
А наша команда продовжувала боротися, щоб виграти для нас ще один день. You see, with the right people, the ability to act, and the willingness to make tough decisions, we managed to save our company. As you can see, Ken Griffin is completely oblivious to what is happening around him. Я особисто вважаю, що саме так він опинився в безладі з AMC та GameStop.
I think Ken Griffin started shorting AMC and GameStop because during the pandemic he believed these two businesses would go bankrupt. However, both of these businesses resumed operations and began to generate significant profits again. I think Ken Griffin just didn't notice this, which is why he didn't close his short position.
Additionally, in January 2021, hundreds of thousands of small investors like you and me joined the movement by buying shares of GameStop and AMC to show their commitment to the brands and confidence that these companies would continue to succeed . And here, again, I think Ken Griffin was reckless. Instead of realizing that these companies were reopening and closing his short position, or realizing that everyone was buying the stock again, he decided to double, triple, and even quadruple his short position.
Instead of admitting his mistake and closing the position, he chose the illegal path and began creating numerous synthetic short positions, doubling, tripling, and quadrupling them again. He has become so careless that he has reached the point where closing his short position would bankrupt Citadel, so he has no choice but to continue this illegal activity.
You have to realize that this is a game that Ken Griffin cannot win. He can continue to short AMC and drive down the price, doubling, tripling, and quadrupling his already bloated position over and over again. But even if he continues to drive down the price of AMC and GameStop, we "monkeys" will not go anywhere and sell our shares.
Тому він ніколи не зможе закрити свою коротку позицію на рівні 20, 10 або 5 доларів. The reason he can't close his short position here is because he has increased it even more, and he would have to buy up the entire supply of shares, which would cause the price to skyrocket to new heights. There's no magic fairy who's going to come along and make us give our shares to Ken Griffin, because that's not how it works.
Eventually, the SEC will step in and force Ken Griffin to buy our shares back from us at a price we set ourselves. І зрештою, саме це призведе до маржин- колу для Кена Гріффіна та Citadel. You have to remember that to close his position, he has to buy back every synthetic share he created from people like you or me.
And again, he can't hold this short position forever because there will come a time when he won't be able to meet the margin requirements and he will face a margin call . But I expect that before that the SEC will step in, forcibly liquidate his position and force him to buy back all those synthetic shares.
I also wanted to dissect this Reuters article, which begins with a report from the Mail on Sunday that British hedge fund Odey Asset Management had sold its stakes in Ryanair Holding and International Consolidated Airlines Group. Hedge fund manager James Hanbury has sold his holdings in British Airways owner IAG, the Mail on Sunday reported, citing a presentation seen by the newspaper.
This latest development comes after the hedge fund opened a short position in cinema chain AMC Entertainment, according to a report by the Financial Times. It is obvious that this is a hedge fund that opened a short position on AMC in the $5 to $10 range . Then AMC shares soared to $70, and now they are gradually rolling back.
But Odey Asset Management constantly increased its short position to drive down the price of AMC. By constantly increasing their short position, they are forced to sell all of their long positions in order to have enough capital to further fuel this short position. Again, it's a very similar story with Citadel.
I saw another article on Reddit that said Citadel was actually selling off a large portion of its long positions in Facebook, Amazon, and other companies to continue fueling that short position in AMC and GameStop. As I said, I think it's only a matter of time before the SEC comes after them, because they have no other choice, as they have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled their short positions.
They will have no way of closing their short positions, which are now worth many billions , if not trillions, of dollars. They cannot close this short position without causing the price to skyrocket. And finally, I wanted to give you a quick guide on how to counter high-level FUD attacks. Attacks based on NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis use extremely harmful psychological programming, using words and language to try to reprogram people's minds.
Neurolinguistic programming, or NLP, is the power of words to reprogram the mind, much like programming a computer. And Ericksonian hypnosis is the power of suggestion, with the help of which they try to weaken the "diamond" mind of monkeys and turn their " diamond" hands into paper ones. NLP uses words to program the brain, putting people in the right emotional state to get them to act in a way that benefits you—that is, to sell, rather than doing what is best for them : holding on until the last moment.
For example, don't think about a big elephant. Your brain has no choice but to think about this big elephant. So, I suggest you think about a big elephant, while being able to claim that I'm doing the exact opposite. If someone wants to weaken you, they will ask you to imagine weak or stressful situations.
He will ask you to replay it in your mind over and over again to try to break your mental toughness. Note that this person only paints negative scenarios in his post, asking the monkeys to visualize stressful situations, implying that humans are "paper-handed," and spreading the idea that all the monkeys will give up, all the while pretending to want to help.
In fact, he is trying to get into your mind and paint a scenario where you are weakening during a short squeeze. However, the reality is this: once AMC stock reaches $200, $300, $1,000 per share, the monkeys will realize that the analysis was correct and will become even stronger. Monkeys will go from a heroic level of fortitude to the level of Hercules.
All the research will be confirmed once we reach $ 100, then $200 and $300. Ericksonian hypnosis uses the power of suggestion to super-fast hypnotize and completely reprogram people into a positive and inspiring state of mind. However, evil people can also use it to try to put people in a negative and depressed state.
So why do hedge funds use neurolinguistic programming and Ericksonian hypnosis? These are very powerful methods, although they are new and not recognized by medicine. The answer is simple. Traditional psychological attacks no longer work. All their expensive psychiatrists and psychologists are incapable of breaking monkeys.
All their price manipulation and scaremongering in the financial news can't get the monkeys to sell, so hedge funds resort to powerful and not yet medically recognized psychological techniques like neurolinguistic programming and Ericksonian hypnosis. But we stand on the threshold of the greatest moment for apes.
We will only become stronger. Our diamond hands, diamond mind, and diamond endurance will shine even brighter. We've been waiting our whole lives for this moment to finally get a fair chance. Men and women are born to succeed. Our time is coming, and when it comes, we will shine like the crazy diamonds that we are.
So guys, when you see articles trying to trick you or convince you that a " squeeze" won't happen— know that this is FUD, this is neurolinguistic programming and insidious techniques to make you doubt. But remember: the analysis has been done, and short positions have no choice but to cover themselves.
