Even the addition of pro wrestler-turned-movie star John Cena to the franchise didn’t spook the shorts as AMC’s short interest remained at 29.87%, identical to Friday.\nPleased to see AMC short sellers — those betting for a fall in value of the company’s shares — right where they claim to want them, one individual investor indulged in film criticism of “F9” to lay out their case for AMC’s “#hotstocksummer.”\n“Just imagine what would have happened if it was actually a good movie too,” mused Data_Dealer, speculating that the return of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the knockout punch: “Black Widow should do record numbers period, not record COVID numbers.”\nAMC’s spiritual meme twin also had a positive day. GameStop shares closed up on the day despite a decision from Baird to cease coverage, with analyst Colin Sebastianwriting in a notethat the company’s lack of a clear plan and lack of fundamental impetus have made it too difficult for him to give “a reasonable stock rating recommendation to institutional investors.”\nMeanwhile, like a lonely 20-something with a hankering for blue drinks, Buffalo wings and a nasty Big Buck Hunter addiction, retail investors also were obsessing over Dave & Buster’s…or at least someone wanted it to look that way.\nShares in the sports bar-cum-video arcade restaurant chain were a very hot topic on Reddit boards Monday, with mentions of the ticker symbol PLAY soaring 26,700% according to HypeEquity, and trading volume had already exceeded its daily average two hours before the closing bell.\nBut even with that action, Dave & Buster’s stock ended 0.7% lower. This comes as Reddit arguments touting the chain as a cheap re-opening trade target were met with skepticism by users who saw the sudden burst of interest asevidence of a possible pump-and-dump scheme, rather than a bona fide meme-inspired gambit.\nThere was no real news around the restaurant chain on Monday, and short interest on the stock remained minimal. Additionally, the flurry of Reddit posts promoting the stock appeared on multiple subreddits, creating what appeared to be a false surge in popularity.\nBacking up that skepticism was the fact that two of the top five keywords associated with Dave & Buster’s posts were “Pump” and “Dump.”\n“Getting kinda bored with the fake management shilling has-been stocks, just for a little more pump before they dump,” complained TheColorlessPill on Reddit. “Just more evidence that [WallStreetBets] has been bought out.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":153908736,"gmtCreate":1624996681625,"gmtModify":1703849702342,"author":{"id":"4087900337749310","authorId":"4087900337749310","name":"Ryanlah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f705250fa39c7ed493cd83d018249e90","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Next Fast n Furious is to the Moon!","listText":"Next Fast n Furious is to the Moon!","text":"Next Fast n Furious is to the Moon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153908736","repostId":1166488790,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":159512427,"gmtCreate":1624974127769,"gmtModify":1703849179474,"author":{"id":"3569725286202582","authorId":"3569725286202582","name":"RobinStocks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/862fcac437d15852e70742ff075e80a9","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84d87792f02cf78e80ee34979fd31e5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Hodlto the moon","listText":"Hodlto the moon","text":"Hodlto the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159512427","repostId":1166488790,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":159295290,"gmtCreate":1624968597710,"gmtModify":1703849012953,"author":{"id":"3562159004774290","authorId":"3562159004774290","name":"邪恶镰刀","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba0142ecc799e2ad77abe8ab459a7a63","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"看了速⑨，他媽的就是爲了圈錢的。","listText":"看了速⑨，他媽的就是爲了圈錢的。","text":"看了速⑨，他媽的就是爲了圈錢的。","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159295290","repostId":1166488790,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":159655546,"gmtCreate":1624965505985,"gmtModify":1703848956752,"author":{"id":"3574824227783735","authorId":"3574824227783735","name":"睡神经病","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"???","listText":"???","text":"???","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159655546","repostId":1166488790,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":159812240,"gmtCreate":1624955220980,"gmtModify":1703848758366,"author":{"id":"3566915563903863","authorId":"3566915563903863","name":"hawshy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab808bbe887fa3fe215f0532ca314534","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c5ceab71416b120bab4604c0754b52a","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"People is going to cinema again","listText":"People is going to cinema again","text":"People is going to cinema again","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159812240","repostId":1166488790,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":159189801,"gmtCreate":1624948120603,"gmtModify":1703848624169,"author":{"id":"3579090734042047","authorId":"3579090734042047","name":"ChinPiau","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8d76e4faf58997d9d87924e5c3427fb","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Ride or die?
