So my current understanding (very likely wrong) is that the current increases is driven by people getting in on the bandwagon but not actually by the hedge funds having to rebuy the shorted stock yet, because the short interest is still at 138-140%?
So the crunch comes tomorrow (market close? market opening) when the shorts expire and the hedge funds have to start actually buying back the stock at the much higher prices, which is what /r/wallstreetbets is counting on to make it really take off. Which relies on people not being spooked into a mass sell-off before next week.
I think.
