According to its impassioned following, the company is purportedly ripe for a short squeeze. For those who may not be following AMC closely, the company's share price did squeeze short sellers (i.e., pessimists betting the share price will decline) in late January, shortly after the company saved itself from immediate bankruptcy by selling stock and issuing high-interest debt.</p>\n<p>The problem for this emotion-driven group of AMC enthusiasts, who call themselves \"apes\" -- a nod to <i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i> and the idea that apes are stronger together -- is that the prospect for a short squeeze on AMC is pretty poor. Between the end of May and the end of June, New York Stock Exchange-reported data shows that shares held short declined from 102.3 million to approximately 75.5 million... <i>and the price of AMC fell!</i></p>\n<p>Short sellers have to feel trapped in their positions for a squeeze to occur, and that's simply not happening with short interest on the decline and the short ratio (also known as \"days to cover\") well below <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>. There's not a data point more closely followed by AMC shareholders than its short interest.</p>\n<p>What isn't being paid attention to, but is far more damaging to AMC and its shareholders, is the absolute rout in some of the company's bonds over the past two weeks.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7b31a2637d841cd0aa4afe72af35c5e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>The action in AMC's bonds suggests bankruptcy is a growing possibility</h3>\n<p>To be upfront, AMC has issued a lot of debt, with a variety of interest rates and maturity dates. The vast majority of the company's debt that would need to be paid off in the near term isn't of concern to Wall Street. That's because AMC has in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents after multiple cash raises, albeit this figure doesn't take into account its cash outflow in the second quarter, after burning through almost $325 million in the first quarter.</p>\n<p>Where trouble begins arising is if you look out to the company's bonds with maturity dates in 2026 and 2027. When bonds are issued, they're almost always priced at face value (100, or 100% of the face value of the bond). AMC's 2026 and 2027 bonds are nowhere close to face value anymore.</p>\n<p>A bond offering of $595 million with a maturity date of Nov. 15, 2026 had been as high as 76.19 (about 76% of face value) on June 21. That same bond now goes for 54.63 (below 55% of face value), as of July 20.</p>\n<p>Want another example? A $475 million debt offering with a May 15, 2027 maturity date was as high as 78.48 on June 23. However, it's been plummeting since July 6, with the July 20 bond price closing at 53.77.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F634412%2Fmoney-under-chain-and-lock-debt-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>You don't have to be a bond trader to read between the lines. With over $1 billion of AMC's debt trading at roughly one-half of par value, bondholders are clearly concerned the company won't have the capital to meet its debt obligations.</p>\n<p>And make no mistake about it, bondholders have every right to be concerned. AMC's apes have done everything in their power to deny AMC CEO Adam Aron the ability to sell stock in order to raise capital. What capital raises Aron did push through were done without having to get the approval of the company's retail investors. However, with AMC effectively maxed out on the share issuance front, it'll be forced to repay over $5.4 billion in debt entirely with cash, rather than stock. Considering the company is burning cash at an extraordinary rate, the math to avoid bankruptcy doesn't add up -- and apes simply don't get it.</p>\n<p>AMC bulls and bears can argue all day about the company, but the bond market speaks the truth about where AMC is headed.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc0c2c89dfba03fc4b0c9fb1c7b014cc\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>And don't forget the misinformation campaign...</h3>\n<p>If the truth isn't enough to persuade you of how awful an investment AMC is, perhaps surveying the mountain of myths and misinformation spread by its retail following will demonstrate how desperate this group is to artificially manipulate the company's share price.</p>\n<p>For example, AMC's retail cohort constantly asserts that a large number of naked short shares exist.

Naturally, none of these assertions can ever be substantiated, but that doesn't stop these folks from spreading inaccurate information on social media in an attempt to bring in new capital.</p>\n<p>Working backwards, dark pool trading has no impact on supply and demand for retail trading.

The Fed seems to be favoring its full employment mandate more than its price stability mandate.”\n“Accordingly, the upcoming Fed meeting could be impactful,” Carter said.\nBenchmark Treasury yields eased after the bid at the largest-ever TIPS auction touched a record low, pressuring rate sensitive banks.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25.35 points, or 0.07%, to 34,823.35, the S&P 500 gained 8.79 points, or 0.20%, to 4,367.48 and the Nasdaq Composite added 52.64 points, or 0.36%, to 14,684.60.\nOf the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, tech was shining brightest, gaining 0.7%. Energy stocks suffered the largest percentage drop.\nThe second-quarter reporting season barreled ahead at full-throttle, with 104 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 88% have beaten consensus estimates, according to Refinitiv.\nDrugmaker Biogen Inc gained 1.1% after hiking its full-year revenue guidance, while Domino’s Pizza Inc surged 14.6% to an all-time high on the heels of its quarterly report.\nSouthwest Airlines Co posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly loss, sending its stock down 3.5%, and American Airlines Group Inc dipped 1.1% even after reporting a quarterly profit.\nThe S&P 1500 Airlines index ended the session off 1.7%.\nShares of Texas Instruments Inc slid 5.3% after its current-quarter revenue forecast cast concerns as to whether the company will be able to meet spiking demand in the face of a global semiconductor shortage.\nThe Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index ended the session down 0.9%.\nChipmaker Intel Corp slipped more than 1% in extended trading after the chipmaker posted results and raised its annual revenue forecast.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.90-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 39 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 54 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 8.25 billion shares, compared with the 10.12 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172579832,"gmtCreate":1626968589426,"gmtModify":1703481675853,"author":{"id":"3585800558145943","authorId":"3585800558145943","name":"Dondon43","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59ddf6847ab4f1052003b5a8e6e0ac26","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585800558145943","authorIdStr":"3585800558145943"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

The Fed seems to be favoring its full employment mandate more than its price stability mandate.”\n“Accordingly, the upcoming Fed meeting could be impactful,” Carter said.\nBenchmark Treasury yields eased after the bid at the largest-ever TIPS auction touched a record low, pressuring rate sensitive banks.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25.35 points, or 0.07%, to 34,823.35, the S&P 500 gained 8.79 points, or 0.20%, to 4,367.48 and the Nasdaq Composite added 52.64 points, or 0.36%, to 14,684.60.\nOf the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, tech was shining brightest, gaining 0.7%. Energy stocks suffered the largest percentage drop.\nThe second-quarter reporting season barreled ahead at full-throttle, with 104 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 88% have beaten consensus estimates, according to Refinitiv.\nDrugmaker Biogen Inc gained 1.1% after hiking its full-year revenue guidance, while Domino’s Pizza Inc surged 14.6% to an all-time high on the heels of its quarterly report.\nSouthwest Airlines Co posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly loss, sending its stock down 3.5%, and American Airlines Group Inc dipped 1.1% even after reporting a quarterly profit.\nThe S&P 1500 Airlines index ended the session off 1.7%.\nShares of Texas Instruments Inc slid 5.3% after its current-quarter revenue forecast cast concerns as to whether the company will be able to meet spiking demand in the face of a global semiconductor shortage.\nThe Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index ended the session down 0.9%.\nChipmaker Intel Corp slipped more than 1% in extended trading after the chipmaker posted results and raised its annual revenue forecast.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.90-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 39 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 54 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 8.25 billion shares, compared with the 10.12 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809589590,"gmtCreate":1627379045210,"gmtModify":1703488744437,"author":{"id":"3585800558145943","authorId":"3585800558145943","name":"Dondon43","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59ddf6847ab4f1052003b5a8e6e0ac26","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585800558145943","authorIdStr":"3585800558145943"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

What Investors Need to Know.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112201050","media":"Barrons","summary":"It seemed to be only a matter of time.\nWhen GameStop (ticker: GME), BlackBerry (BB), and even the de","content":"<p>It seemed to be only a matter of time.</p>\n<p>When GameStop (ticker: GME), BlackBerry (BB), and even the desiccated carcass of Blockbuster suddenly sprang to life in January, the clock was already ticking for when they would crash again. Would it be hours, days, or weeks?</p>\n<p>It has now been half a year, and the core “meme stocks” are still trading at levels considered outrageous by people who have studied them for years. New names like&nbsp;Clover Health Investments(CLOV) and&nbsp;Newegg Commerce(NEGG) have recently popped up on message boards, and their stocks have popped, too.</p>\n<p>The collective efforts of millions of retail traders—long derided as “the dumb money”—have successfully held stocks aloft and forced naysayers to capitulate.</p>\n<p>That is true even as the companies they are betting on have shown scant signs of transforming their businesses, or turning profits that might justify their valuations. BlackBerry burned cash in its latest quarter and warned that its key cybersecurity division would hit the low end of its revenue guidance; the stock dipped on the news but has still more than doubled in the past year.</p>\n<p>While trading volume at the big brokers has come down slightly from its February peak, it remains two to three times as high as it was before the pandemic. And a startling amount of that activity is occurring in stocks favored by retail traders. The average daily value of shares traded in&nbsp;AMC Entertainment Holdings(AMC), for example, reached $13.1 billion in June, more than&nbsp;Apple’s(AAPL) $9.5 billion and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) $10.3 billion.</p>\n<p>Even as the coronavirus fades in the U.S., most new traders say they are committed to the hobby they learned during lockdown—58% of day traders in a Betterment survey said they are planning to trade even more in the future, and only 12% plan to trade less. Amateur pandemic bakers have stopped kneading sourdough loaves; traders are only getting hungrier.</p>\n<p>A sustained bear market would spoil such an appetite, as it did when the dot-com bubble burst. For now, dips are reasons to hold or buy.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25a79e71371c165f9a3a5085931fc487\" tg-width=\"979\" tg-height=\"649\"></p>\n<p>“I’ve seen that the ‘buy the dip’ sentiment hasn’t relented for a moment,” wrote Brandon Luczek, an electronics technician for the U.S. Navy who trades with friends online, in an email to&nbsp;Barron’s.</p>\n<p>The meme stock surge has been propelled by a rise in trading by retail investors. In 2020, online brokers signed clients at a record pace, with more than 10 million people opening new accounts. That record will almost certainly be broken in 2021. Brokers had already added more than 10 million accounts less than halfway into the year, some of the top firms have disclosed.</p>\n<p>Meme stocks are both the cart and the horse of this phenomenon. Their sudden price spikes are driven by new investors, and then that action drives even more new people to invest. Millions of people downloaded investing apps in late January and early February just to be a part of the fun. A recent&nbsp;Charles Schwab(SCHW) survey found that 15% of all current traders began investing after 2020.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/167386c6881a258922ad62caaf7a05f4\" tg-width=\"971\" tg-height=\"644\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e29e3041b91070252ab9063d1a11fa2\" tg-width=\"975\" tg-height=\"642\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9cc1c0bd6368721c0eca87e25719f16\" tg-width=\"964\" tg-height=\"641\"></p>\n<p>The most prominent player in the surge is Robinhood, which said it had added 5.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter alone. But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.</p>\n<p>Under pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.</p>\n<p>These new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”</p>\n<p>To be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.</p>\n<p>But ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.</p>\n<p>“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.</p>\n<p>“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.</p>\n<p>Sosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.</p>\n<p>But Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/710e642d3b685b74f8c9dcaf46ef3e0b\" tg-width=\"968\" tg-height=\"643\"></p>\n<p>“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”</p>\n<p>The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.</p>\n<p>— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube</p>\n<p>It is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.</p>\n<p>Take Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming&nbsp;stock analysis on YouTube&nbsp;for seven hours a day.</p>\n<p>With 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.</p>\n<p>“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.</p>\n<p>Companies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.</p>\n<p>AMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.</p>\n<p>Forget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.</p>\n<p>Big investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.</p>\n<p>In the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.</p>\n<p>There can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.</p>\n<p>For now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.</p>\n<p>For retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.</p>\n<p>New investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.</p>\n<p>“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”</p>\n<p>Claire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”</p>\n<p>Just like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.</p>\n<p>The new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.</p>\n<p>The group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75d79c78a14cc8f297e17397cc54bdb5\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\"><span>Keith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.</span></p>\n<p>Many short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.</p>\n<p>As the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves. They start “drooling, with flames coming out of their ears,” says Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who has covered GameStop for years. “What’s kind of shocked me is the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and over again and hoping for a different outcome each time, and the shorts keep coming back,” he says. “And [GameStop bull] Keith Gill and his Reddit raiders keep squeezing them, and it keeps working.”</p>\n<p>To beat the short sellers, the Reddit crowd needs to hold together, but the community has been showing cracks at times. The two meme stocks with the most determined fan bases—GameStop and AMC—still have enormous armies of core believers who do not seem easily swayed. But other names seem to have more-fickle backers. Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath &amp; Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels. People who bought during the upswings have lost money.</p>\n<p>Distrust has spread, and some traders worry that wallstreetbets— the original Reddit message board that inspired the GameStop frenzy—has grown so fast that it has lost its original spirit, and potentially grown vulnerable to manipulation. Some have moved to other message boards, like r/superstonk, in hopes of reclaiming the old community’s flavor.</p>\n<p>Travis Rehl, the founder of social-media tracking company Hype Equity, says that he tries to separate possible manipulators from more organic investor sentiment. Hype Equity is usually hired by public-relations firms representing companies that are being talked about online, he says. Now, he sees a growing trend of stocks that suddenly come up on message boards, receive positive chatter, and then disappear.</p>\n<p>“It’s called into question what is a true discussion versus what is something that somebody just wants to pump,” he says. The moderators of wallstreetbets forbid market manipulation on the platform, and Rehl say they appear to work hard to police misinformation. The moderators did not respond to a request from&nbsp;Barron’s&nbsp;for comment.</p>\n<p>“If you can create enough buzz to get a stock that goes up 10%, 20%, even 50% in a short period of time, there’s a tremendous incentive to do that,” Sosnick says.</p>\n<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission is watching for funny business on the message boards. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some members of Congress have discussed changing market rules with the intention of adding transparency protecting retail traders—although changes could also anger the retail crowd if they slow down trading or make it more expensive.</p>\n<p>Regulations aren’t the only thing that could deflate this trend. Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at fintech Betterment, thinks the momentum may run out of steam in September. Even “apes” have responsibilities. “Kids start going back to schools; parents are free to go to work again,” he says. “That’s the next time there’s going to be some oxygen pulled out of the room.”</p>\n<p>Traditional investors may be tempted to write off the entire phenomenon as temporary madness inspired by lockdowns and free government money.

Would it be hours, days, or weeks?\nIt has now been half a year, and the core “meme stocks” are still trading at levels considered outrageous by people who have studied them for years. New names like Clover Health Investments(CLOV) and Newegg Commerce(NEGG) have recently popped up on message boards, and their stocks have popped, too.\nThe collective efforts of millions of retail traders—long derided as “the dumb money”—have successfully held stocks aloft and forced naysayers to capitulate.\nThat is true even as the companies they are betting on have shown scant signs of transforming their businesses, or turning profits that might justify their valuations. BlackBerry burned cash in its latest quarter and warned that its key cybersecurity division would hit the low end of its revenue guidance; the stock dipped on the news but has still more than doubled in the past year.\nWhile trading volume at the big brokers has come down slightly from its February peak, it remains two to three times as high as it was before the pandemic. And a startling amount of that activity is occurring in stocks favored by retail traders. The average daily value of shares traded in AMC Entertainment Holdings(AMC), for example, reached $13.1 billion in June, more than Apple’s(AAPL) $9.5 billion and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) $10.3 billion.\nEven as the coronavirus fades in the U.S., most new traders say they are committed to the hobby they learned during lockdown—58% of day traders in a Betterment survey said they are planning to trade even more in the future, and only 12% plan to trade less. Amateur pandemic bakers have stopped kneading sourdough loaves; traders are only getting hungrier.\nA sustained bear market would spoil such an appetite, as it did when the dot-com bubble burst. For now, dips are reasons to hold or buy.\n\n“I’ve seen that the ‘buy the dip’ sentiment hasn’t relented for a moment,” wrote Brandon Luczek, an electronics technician for the U.S. Navy who trades with friends online, in an email to Barron’s.\nThe meme stock surge has been propelled by a rise in trading by retail investors. In 2020, online brokers signed clients at a record pace, with more than 10 million people opening new accounts. That record will almost certainly be broken in 2021. Brokers had already added more than 10 million accounts less than halfway into the year, some of the top firms have disclosed.\nMeme stocks are both the cart and the horse of this phenomenon. Their sudden price spikes are driven by new investors, and then that action drives even more new people to invest. Millions of people downloaded investing apps in late January and early February just to be a part of the fun. A recent Charles Schwab(SCHW) survey found that 15% of all current traders began investing after 2020.\n\nThe most prominent player in the surge is Robinhood, which said it had added 5.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter alone. But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.\nUnder pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.\nThese new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”\nTo be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.\nBut ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.\n“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.\n“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.\nSosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.\nIndeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.\nBut Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.\n\n“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”\nThe swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.\n— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube\nIt is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.\nTake Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming stock analysis on YouTube for seven hours a day.\nWith 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.\n“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.\nCompanies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.\nAMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.\nForget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.\nBig investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.\nIn the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.\nThere can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.\nFor now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.\nFor retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.\nNew investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.\n“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”\nClaire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”\nJust like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.\nThe new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.\nThe group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.\nKeith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.\nMany short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.\nAs the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves. They start “drooling, with flames coming out of their ears,” says Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who has covered GameStop for years. “What’s kind of shocked me is the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and over again and hoping for a different outcome each time, and the shorts keep coming back,” he says. “And [GameStop bull] Keith Gill and his Reddit raiders keep squeezing them, and it keeps working.”\nTo beat the short sellers, the Reddit crowd needs to hold together, but the community has been showing cracks at times. The two meme stocks with the most determined fan bases—GameStop and AMC—still have enormous armies of core believers who do not seem easily swayed. But other names seem to have more-fickle backers. Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels. People who bought during the upswings have lost money.\nDistrust has spread, and some traders worry that wallstreetbets— the original Reddit message board that inspired the GameStop frenzy—has grown so fast that it has lost its original spirit, and potentially grown vulnerable to manipulation. Some have moved to other message boards, like r/superstonk, in hopes of reclaiming the old community’s flavor.\nTravis Rehl, the founder of social-media tracking company Hype Equity, says that he tries to separate possible manipulators from more organic investor sentiment. Hype Equity is usually hired by public-relations firms representing companies that are being talked about online, he says. Now, he sees a growing trend of stocks that suddenly come up on message boards, receive positive chatter, and then disappear.\n“It’s called into question what is a true discussion versus what is something that somebody just wants to pump,” he says. The moderators of wallstreetbets forbid market manipulation on the platform, and Rehl say they appear to work hard to police misinformation. The moderators did not respond to a request from Barron’s for comment.\n“If you can create enough buzz to get a stock that goes up 10%, 20%, even 50% in a short period of time, there’s a tremendous incentive to do that,” Sosnick says.\nThe Securities and Exchange Commission is watching for funny business on the message boards. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some members of Congress have discussed changing market rules with the intention of adding transparency protecting retail traders—although changes could also anger the retail crowd if they slow down trading or make it more expensive.\nRegulations aren’t the only thing that could deflate this trend. Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at fintech Betterment, thinks the momentum may run out of steam in September. Even “apes” have responsibilities. “Kids start going back to schools; parents are free to go to work again,” he says. “That’s the next time there’s going to be some oxygen pulled out of the room.”\nTraditional investors may be tempted to write off the entire phenomenon as temporary madness inspired by lockdowns and free government money. But that would be a mistake. If zero-commission brokerages and fun with GameStop broke down barriers for millions of new investors to open accounts, it’s almost certainly a good thing, as long as most people bet with money they don’t need immediately. Many new retail traders say they are teaching themselves how to trade, and have begun to diversify their holdings.\nIn one form or another, this is the future client base of Wall Street.\nArizona State University professor Hendrik Bessembinder published groundbreaking research in 2018 that found that “a randomly selected stock in a randomly selected month is more likely to lose money than make money.” In short, picking single stocks and holding a concentrated portfolio tends to be a losing strategy.\nEven so, he’s encouraged by the new wave of trading. “I welcome the increase in retail trading, the idea of the stock market being a place with wide participation,” Bessembinder says. “Economists can’t tell people they shouldn’t get some fun.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":830172044,"gmtCreate":1629038312488,"gmtModify":1676529914796,"author":{"id":"3585800558145943","authorId":"3585800558145943","name":"Dondon43","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59ddf6847ab4f1052003b5a8e6e0ac26","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585800558145943","authorIdStr":"3585800558145943"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Widow\" has stolen the pandemic-era box office crown.\nThe latest Marvel film scored $80 million at the domestic box office during its debut, the most of any film released in the wake of the Covid epidemic. Over the weekend around 81% of theaters were open to the public, according to data from Comscore.\nUniversal's\"F9\" was the previous record-holder after snaring$70 million over its three-day launchinto theaters last month.\nWalt Disneyalso revealed that it garnered more than $60 million globally from sales of the film through Disney+ Premier Access. This is the first time the company has shared information about movie sales earned from its streaming service.\n\"This is an unprecedented way of reporting opening weekend business for a film, but Disney deserves some credit for detailing what was generated by the actual box office and what was earned from streaming,\" said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Boxoffice.com. \"Hopefully this sets a standard for even more transparency across the industry, but it's crucial to keep perspective on the unique circumstances and times we're living in.\"\nIn addition, \"Black Widow\" tallied $78 million from international ticket sales.\n\"The brand equity that Marvel brings to the table is almost unrivaled and is reflected in the historic box office that the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have generated,\" said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. \"Therefore, It should come as no surprise that 'Black Widow' snagged the biggest debut and powered the biggest overall weekend of the pandemic.\"\nFor the first time since March 2020, the total domestic box office has collected more than $100 million in ticket sales, according to data from Comscore. At present, that tally stands at $116.9 million.\nHeading into the weekend, box office analysts predicted \"Black Widow\"could capture at least $80 million.Strongadvanced ticket saleslead some to believe it could achieve an ever higher haul, even with the film debuting on Disney+ for $30 on the same day.\nPreviously, Disney has remained silent on how its streaming service's same-day offering impacted the theatrical release of a film. The $60 million it captured on Disney+ shows that this can be a viable option for the brand in the future. However, Disney's next Marvel film \"Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings\" will only be available in theaters.\n\"Whether or not the Disney+ earnings should be considered successful is almost impossible to objectively measure right now,\" Robbins said. \"That's not only due to virtually non-existent comparison points, but also the long-term impact regarding the degradation of down-stream ancillary revenues and exacerbated concerns surrounding piracy that remain top of mind for current and future hybrid releases such as this.\"\nIt's unclear if Disney will continue to share this streaming data weekly or only provide it on rare occasions to tout strong opening weekend debuts.\n\"If Disney sticks to theatrically exclusive plans for some or all of its most important movies after this summer, we'll have better clarity on the meaning of these numbers,\" he added. \"If the studio continues to strategize one film at a time in a global market that is still battling the pandemic, though, we'll continue having to contextualize these numbers as one-of-a-kind each time out.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898189675,"gmtCreate":1628477890297,"gmtModify":1703506714755,"author":{"id":"3585800558145943","authorId":"3585800558145943","name":"Dondon43","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59ddf6847ab4f1052003b5a8e6e0ac26","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585800558145943","authorIdStr":"3585800558145943"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Often sporting high levels of short interest and poor outlooks, these meme stocks have been lifted up by an army of retail investors.</p>\n<p>Although there seems to be a new meme stock in play every day, movie theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC) has consistently been the most popular.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F634412%2Fmovie-theater-popcorn-date-film-amc-regal-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Hope for a short squeeze is dwindling</h3>\n<p>Why AMC? According to its impassioned following, the company is purportedly ripe for a short squeeze. For those who may not be following AMC closely, the company's share price did squeeze short sellers (i.e., pessimists betting the share price will decline) in late January, shortly after the company saved itself from immediate bankruptcy by selling stock and issuing high-interest debt.</p>\n<p>The problem for this emotion-driven group of AMC enthusiasts, who call themselves \"apes\" -- a nod to <i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i> and the idea that apes are stronger together -- is that the prospect for a short squeeze on AMC is pretty poor. Between the end of May and the end of June, New York Stock Exchange-reported data shows that shares held short declined from 102.3 million to approximately 75.5 million... <i>and the price of AMC fell!</i></p>\n<p>Short sellers have to feel trapped in their positions for a squeeze to occur, and that's simply not happening with short interest on the decline and the short ratio (also known as \"days to cover\") well below <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>. There's not a data point more closely followed by AMC shareholders than its short interest.</p>\n<p>What isn't being paid attention to, but is far more damaging to AMC and its shareholders, is the absolute rout in some of the company's bonds over the past two weeks.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7b31a2637d841cd0aa4afe72af35c5e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>The action in AMC's bonds suggests bankruptcy is a growing possibility</h3>\n<p>To be upfront, AMC has issued a lot of debt, with a variety of interest rates and maturity dates. The vast majority of the company's debt that would need to be paid off in the near term isn't of concern to Wall Street. That's because AMC has in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents after multiple cash raises, albeit this figure doesn't take into account its cash outflow in the second quarter, after burning through almost $325 million in the first quarter.</p>\n<p>Where trouble begins arising is if you look out to the company's bonds with maturity dates in 2026 and 2027. When bonds are issued, they're almost always priced at face value (100, or 100% of the face value of the bond). AMC's 2026 and 2027 bonds are nowhere close to face value anymore.</p>\n<p>A bond offering of $595 million with a maturity date of Nov. 15, 2026 had been as high as 76.19 (about 76% of face value) on June 21. That same bond now goes for 54.63 (below 55% of face value), as of July 20.</p>\n<p>Want another example? A $475 million debt offering with a May 15, 2027 maturity date was as high as 78.48 on June 23. However, it's been plummeting since July 6, with the July 20 bond price closing at 53.77.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F634412%2Fmoney-under-chain-and-lock-debt-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>You don't have to be a bond trader to read between the lines. With over $1 billion of AMC's debt trading at roughly one-half of par value, bondholders are clearly concerned the company won't have the capital to meet its debt obligations.</p>\n<p>And make no mistake about it, bondholders have every right to be concerned. AMC's apes have done everything in their power to deny AMC CEO Adam Aron the ability to sell stock in order to raise capital. What capital raises Aron did push through were done without having to get the approval of the company's retail investors. However, with AMC effectively maxed out on the share issuance front, it'll be forced to repay over $5.4 billion in debt entirely with cash, rather than stock. Considering the company is burning cash at an extraordinary rate, the math to avoid bankruptcy doesn't add up -- and apes simply don't get it.</p>\n<p>AMC bulls and bears can argue all day about the company, but the bond market speaks the truth about where AMC is headed.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc0c2c89dfba03fc4b0c9fb1c7b014cc\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>And don't forget the misinformation campaign...</h3>\n<p>If the truth isn't enough to persuade you of how awful an investment AMC is, perhaps surveying the mountain of myths and misinformation spread by its retail following will demonstrate how desperate this group is to artificially manipulate the company's share price.</p>\n<p>For example, AMC's retail cohort constantly asserts that a large number of naked short shares exist. They also believe that failure to delivers (FTDs) are endemic of naked short-selling, and that dark pool trading represents nefarious activity. Naturally, none of these assertions can ever be substantiated, but that doesn't stop these folks from spreading inaccurate information on social media in an attempt to bring in new capital.</p>\n<p>Working backwards, dark pool trading has no impact on supply and demand for retail trading. As for FTDs, clerical/administrative delays for high-volume stocks are common, as is human error and even buyer-based FTDs. And no naked short-selling campaign is ongoing if AMC's shares are available to short (and here's a hint: they've regularly been available). This entire thesis of alleged wrongdoing by apes is easily debunked.</p>\n<p>Just as ridiculous is the incorrect idea that hedge funds bankrupt companies. Businesses control their own destiny via their operating model and actions. A company's share price, including the buying and selling activity of that stock, doesn't determine if it's a success or not. Claiming short selling is the problem while completely ignoring the real reasons a company is struggling is yet another example of AMC's apes spreading false information online in an effort to rally support and fresh capital for their stock.</p>\n<p>With apes unable to substantiate any of their claims and the bond market flashing big warning signs, my outlook for AMC remains unchanged: Bankruptcy is still very much on the table.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Damaging AMC Entertainment Data Point No One Is Paying Attention To</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThe Damaging AMC Entertainment Data Point No One Is Paying Attention To\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-23 21:07 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/23/damaging-amc-data-point-no-one-paying-attention-to/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For nearly six months, meme stocks -- companies lauded more for the buzz they create on social media than their financial performance -- have been the talk of Wall Street.

For those who may not be following AMC closely, the company's share price did squeeze short sellers (i.e., pessimists betting the share price will decline) in late January, shortly after the company saved itself from immediate bankruptcy by selling stock and issuing high-interest debt.\nThe problem for this emotion-driven group of AMC enthusiasts, who call themselves \"apes\" -- a nod to Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the idea that apes are stronger together -- is that the prospect for a short squeeze on AMC is pretty poor. Between the end of May and the end of June, New York Stock Exchange-reported data shows that shares held short declined from 102.3 million to approximately 75.5 million... and the price of AMC fell!\nShort sellers have to feel trapped in their positions for a squeeze to occur, and that's simply not happening with short interest on the decline and the short ratio (also known as \"days to cover\") well below one. There's not a data point more closely followed by AMC shareholders than its short interest.\nWhat isn't being paid attention to, but is far more damaging to AMC and its shareholders, is the absolute rout in some of the company's bonds over the past two weeks.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe action in AMC's bonds suggests bankruptcy is a growing possibility\nTo be upfront, AMC has issued a lot of debt, with a variety of interest rates and maturity dates. The vast majority of the company's debt that would need to be paid off in the near term isn't of concern to Wall Street. That's because AMC has in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents after multiple cash raises, albeit this figure doesn't take into account its cash outflow in the second quarter, after burning through almost $325 million in the first quarter.\nWhere trouble begins arising is if you look out to the company's bonds with maturity dates in 2026 and 2027. When bonds are issued, they're almost always priced at face value (100, or 100% of the face value of the bond). AMC's 2026 and 2027 bonds are nowhere close to face value anymore.\nA bond offering of $595 million with a maturity date of Nov. 15, 2026 had been as high as 76.19 (about 76% of face value) on June 21. That same bond now goes for 54.63 (below 55% of face value), as of July 20.\nWant another example? A $475 million debt offering with a May 15, 2027 maturity date was as high as 78.48 on June 23. However, it's been plummeting since July 6, with the July 20 bond price closing at 53.77.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nYou don't have to be a bond trader to read between the lines. With over $1 billion of AMC's debt trading at roughly one-half of par value, bondholders are clearly concerned the company won't have the capital to meet its debt obligations.\nAnd make no mistake about it, bondholders have every right to be concerned. AMC's apes have done everything in their power to deny AMC CEO Adam Aron the ability to sell stock in order to raise capital. What capital raises Aron did push through were done without having to get the approval of the company's retail investors. However, with AMC effectively maxed out on the share issuance front, it'll be forced to repay over $5.4 billion in debt entirely with cash, rather than stock. Considering the company is burning cash at an extraordinary rate, the math to avoid bankruptcy doesn't add up -- and apes simply don't get it.\nAMC bulls and bears can argue all day about the company, but the bond market speaks the truth about where AMC is headed.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAnd don't forget the misinformation campaign...\nIf the truth isn't enough to persuade you of how awful an investment AMC is, perhaps surveying the mountain of myths and misinformation spread by its retail following will demonstrate how desperate this group is to artificially manipulate the company's share price.\nFor example, AMC's retail cohort constantly asserts that a large number of naked short shares exist. They also believe that failure to delivers (FTDs) are endemic of naked short-selling, and that dark pool trading represents nefarious activity. Naturally, none of these assertions can ever be substantiated, but that doesn't stop these folks from spreading inaccurate information on social media in an attempt to bring in new capital.\nWorking backwards, dark pool trading has no impact on supply and demand for retail trading. As for FTDs, clerical/administrative delays for high-volume stocks are common, as is human error and even buyer-based FTDs. And no naked short-selling campaign is ongoing if AMC's shares are available to short (and here's a hint: they've regularly been available). This entire thesis of alleged wrongdoing by apes is easily debunked.\nJust as ridiculous is the incorrect idea that hedge funds bankrupt companies. Businesses control their own destiny via their operating model and actions. A company's share price, including the buying and selling activity of that stock, doesn't determine if it's a success or not. Claiming short selling is the problem while completely ignoring the real reasons a company is struggling is yet another example of AMC's apes spreading false information online in an effort to rally support and fresh capital for their stock.\nWith apes unable to substantiate any of their claims and the bond market flashing big warning signs, my outlook for AMC remains unchanged: Bankruptcy is still very much on the table.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":114,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
