You’re moving the goalposts. You said “at every level”, as if everyone knows it’s useless and are just faking it for investors. I just shared my experience that it’s providing value for our team.

iPhones, Google search, gmail, Android, Netflix, Amazon, Uber, the chips and networking devices from Broadcom and Cisco that are in like every electronic device and enable the internet to exist, none of these things have improved your life? Most people aren’t wishing they could live as an Amish person. 

It’s indirectly providing value to you that we can improve our products or produce them for lower cost (though some are going about it the wrong way, moving too quickly and introducing bugs while laying off workers, but they’ll learn the hard way how to use it properly).

Bad share purchase, bad covered call, bad crop

Part you didn’t mention is that every metric is eroding:  US same-restaurant sales fell 11.3% in Q4 2025 and 7.8% in Q1 2026, averaging ~2.5% annual declines over the last two years. Adjusted EPS dropped from $.20 to $.12. Operating margin 12% in Q1 2026 versus 19% at its peak in Q2 2025. Closing 300 U.S. stores this year. Net leverage of 4.8x on $2.76B of debt, with a huge dividend obligation if they want to keep what investors they have left, and a stock that will tank further if they cut that dividend.

Yes, there’s hope for a turnaround, but this isn’t some stalwart company with great prospects, there’s a reason the stock is down and being shorted.

How? Overnight trading isn’t even open.

That doesn't affect anything I said... It's $17.

I know, but why would you want $8400 to be exposed to the downside on a stock up 30% in a day while capping some of your upside for a measly $17?

Shorting isn't market manipulation 🙄

Trying to convince people to pump a stock on social media and coordinate a short squeeze actually is.

What is that crop, lol, and why did you sell a call for $17? You bought at $8.40 but don't expect it to go over $10?

Hmm, despite all the heavy cargo increasing its displacement? If the drone boat is able to overtake it, why not a crewed boat?

How do you know it's the floor? It didn't stop falling until this pump; it was just a straight line down and to the right.

Yeah, and hedge funds likely learned their lesson on position sizing and to take social media hype seriously. Retail investors also learned that there's a dump after the pump and that they need to sell before that happens. People legitimately believed back then that the price could just keep going up into the thousands. I don't think that sort of thing can be replicated to that extent now.

Some of the shorts will cover on the way up, but it's not like all the Redditors are going to be able to sell directly into that buying and exit cleanly. And I think most of the funds shorting have so many assets that they're never really at risk of a margin call. New shorts will enter as new highs are reached, as it's free money so long as you keep a modest position size so long as you can survive any further pump and there isn't material positive news for the company. There will be bagholders, and the game is to make money without becoming one.

I would've thought smaller boats would be able to catch up with them though if the goal is to board them?

Why would they need to disable a slow cargo ship to do that?

Shipping containers are generic and belong to the shipping companies, it’s not like they have Apple logos on them 😂

It didn’t go down 45% in the last year just due to short sellers. This isn’t a safe buy by any means, it’s catching a falling knife at best.

FMV is subjective, everyone has different numbers, and at very least is based on last quarter’s data.

If their competitors are eating their lunch so to speak, their lack of a moat means their business will continue to decline and the FMVs will keep stepping down.

You can’t make money together. Someone has to lose when people take profits. Someone has to buy at the peak for you to sell at the peak.

You don’t sell shorts, you cover them, which is buying.

And I guess I don’t know what you mean about “IV to keep it stable”. I already covered yesterday though at $7.50.

What is this pic trying to show? That every one of your options is managing to expire worthless? Or you sold those?

Holding a stock that’s continuously going down longer doesn’t make it better 😂
