    I see almost the whole of my watchlist going RED. $AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ and $GameStop(GME)$ are attacked heavily by the HFs (and their sponsored FUDs) and yet the damages are considerably low.As the HFs continue to dig their graves deeper, I can only say good luck to them during the short squeeze.They should be very very afraid now.
