Trump has talked about reclassifying cannabis for years. Why is this news being highlighted now unless the action has been green lighted.
Allen Kroller There is nothing better than a pop in stock price to catch shorts off guard
Funnier when they try to make it seem so wrong
It’s trading at 1.10 did you really short a dollar stock Any clown that shorts pennies deserves to lose
The selloff was from us capturing the Venezuela tanker Oracle won’t help tomorrow
Low liquidity at the bottom changes the game.
Sellers disappeared — the supply is gone.
Shorts lost their ability to control the tape.
Now the price waits for one spark —
an institutional buyer or a short-covering wave
and the move up becomes explosive.
High risk — but almost entirely on the short side.
Let’s see who blinks first. ???
Bought after they stated they were no longer doing R/s They played retail
7.80 tomorrow and drops to $5 So clueless to do a r/s at these levels
If you’re still short after the reverse split…
You’re not “smart money” —
you’re just the last one holding the grenade. ??
Good luck finding shares to borrow tomorrow…
Float: 112–116M only.
Tick… Tock… ⏱️?
Short sellers — enjoy your final day of free supply.
Tomorrow: tiny float, big consequences.
Good luck covering. ?
The only reason to do a reverse but is they don’t think anything is happening inside the government in the US and believe their stock is gonna fall back to $.50 so they would have to do a 20-1
We’re doing it now hopefully they’re at 10 to one and they end up at eight bucks which then will fall to five bucks
Simon is a clown
How these guys receive bonuses and their pay packages when they have yet to figure out a way after 15 years to turn a profit of a dollar after 10 years it’s pretty simple downsize your entire company drop your salaries and bonuses get rid of anything. That’s not turning a profit and then if you ever do find the profit, you can start rebuilding.
TLRY — Short Sellers Are Running Out of Road as the Reverse Split Approaches
Tilray has been a playground for short sellers for far too long — inflated float, endless borrow, easy pressure.
But that era is coming to an end.
With the imminent 1-for-10 reverse split, several core dynamics flip overnight:
• The public float shrinks dramatically
• Borrow costs and margin requirements on short positions can explode by thousands of percent
• Short sellers are walking straight into a margin trap
Now here’s the part most traders are missing:
Tilray did not aggressively tap its ATM following the post-earnings spike.
We saw trading days with 300M+ shares in volume and a price above $2.00 —
the perfect environment to raise the full remaining $51M under the ATM with minimal market impact.
If the only goal was dilution and survival, they could have easily:
• Dumped the ATM into that liquidity
• Raised the entire ~$51M quickly
• And closed the program out
But they didn’t.
So the real question is: Why didn’t Tilray fully use and close the ATM during that spike?
In my view, the logical answer is this:
Those remaining $51M of ATM capacity are being kept in reserve for institutional capital,
likely timed for one to two trading days around or after the reverse split, when:
• The float is much tighter
• The per-share price is higher and more institution-friendly
• Institutions can come in through a controlled raise, instead of chasing in the open market
In other words, the company appears to be positioning itself for stronger, long-term institutional holders —
not for another round of easy shorting on a bloated float.
Meanwhile, short sellers are stuck:
• They built oversized positions when the float was huge
• The float is about to contract sharply
• Borrow, margin and recall risk are all set to spike post-split
? The party is over. The bill is due.
Holding a large short into a reverse split with a shrinking float and a still-unused $51M ATM that may be structured for institutional entry
isn’t “high conviction” — it’s reckless risk management.
Post-split, every borrowed share becomes more expensive, more volatile, and harder to control.
Anyone staying short into that setup isn’t just fighting sentiment —
they’re fighting math.
