- Thank you to lawsondt for the Bloomberg data to 9/8/2023.
- Added Larry +6000 and Alain +15000 to Insiders number on 9/11/2023.
- "Non-DRS - 200k acct 25% stuck in IRA" is a conservative percentage. The Google share count surveys have suggested the 200k Computershare accounts have 30-40% additional shares stuck in IRAs.
- "Fix inadvertent DRSbot offline or resets" is primarily whale #1's 1,388,490 DRS shares. Long story of switching subs and losing their DRS share count. So added the "fix inadvertent" column to capture their DRS shares.
I'd hazard a guess that we're well past Other of 61,801,800 shares in brokerages.
If only 200,000 Computershare accounts hold 76,038,774 plus non-conservative 50% additional stuck in IRAs (38,019,387) = 114,058,161 shares
I don't think it'd be a stretch to say 4,000,000 retail holders each hold 50 shares = 200,000,000
29,138,064 + 33,999,059 + 32,373,815 + 14,339,510 + 38,540,578 + ~60,000,000 reported short + 114,058,161 + 200,000,000 = 522,449,187
If 4,000,000 hold 175 shares = 700,000,000. 522,449,187 + additional 500,000,000 = 1,022,449,187
So with the float well and truly locked. What is the catalyst going forward? I was thinking if smc went under. Potentially the floor from that sub would overwhelm gme
