hey everyone me kevin here let's talk
about an amc a double squeeze and the
potential for this
first this video is actually inspired by
a conversation that i had
with a course member yesterday in the
stocks and psychology of money group
a course member was wondering hey kevin
you know it seems like at one point you
had indicated
that there was a squeeze at amc and they
were looking for some additional details
on that
because the implication was that maybe
that meant i thought the squeeze was
over which
is not true now this particular course
member is a course member of my real
estate agent course and not my stocks in
psychology of money group
it's worth mentioning because i've made
it very clear
in to stocks and psychology of money
course members that i believe
there could be multiple squeezes at
stocks
that are responsible for increases
in price rapidly that's of course not
the only thing that leads to price going
up
but the reason this conversation got
spawned is because there was some
information
circulating the internet yesterday that
if you look at the beginning of june
around june 2nd june 3rd
and you look at the short interest of
amc somewhere around
20 and then you compare that to the
short interest where we were
or are now i should say where we were on
friday because we were talking about
this yesterday
or where we are now somewhere around 18
17
then all of a sudden we look and go wait
a minute how did the price
go from lows to where we are now
if the short interest only went down two
or three percent
over the last essentially month that
that seems odd
that kind of implies like the squeeze
ain't squeeze and don't get me wrong i'm
not saying
the squeeze is close i just think that
there's no such thing as
the squeeze that there are multiple
squeezes that can happen
now we've talked about why i believe
this before in the past but it's
worth just doing a short reiteration on
this and then looking at some of the
latest data
so a very short sort of recap on this is
if we go into the ortex chart we could
see it pretty well here
we could see short interest right here
the estimated short interest as a
percentage of free float which is the
yellow line
correspond with a potential rise in
price
and then a subsequent massive decline or
rapid decline in the short interest
percentage
now because these are estimates of short
interest percentage you do generally get
a little bit of lagging data
but what's fascinating is and these are
the lessons that we could take away for
the next
phase take a look at this folks look at
what happened with amc at the beginning
of the year
at the beginning of the year this is
around january 28th at the bottom you're
going to see those blue candlesticks
those represent volume volume goes up
dramatically
price goes to the moon we get a gamma
squeeze because people
are buying out of the money call options
that are going into the money
and all of a sudden the price skyrockets
up the next day
and the next day we start getting short
interest as a percentage of free float
estimates coming out with settled
t2 data and all of a sudden boom we see
short interest percentage
plummet but look what happens as volume
subsides
all of a sudden price slowly bleeds out
at the stock
and what do the short sellers do they
reload
the shotgun they set up for the next
squeeze by increasing the amount of
shorts
they have helping drive the price
down and bleed the price down
now if we go to today virtually the same
thing is happening so first of all if
you compare
the beginning of june right around here
this is
june 2nd as i said and you look at an
estimated short interest percentage of
free float of 17.47
and then you compare that to where we
are now it's like wait a minute
actually now with the latest data we're
at 18
and so in the tweets that were
circulating or the online talk that was
circulating
these lines were pretty much par and so
the argument was hey there's there's no
way the squeeze could be close
but again to me there's no such thing as
a singular squeeze
a singular squeeze implies binariness it
implies
it either happened or it hasn't happened
i personally believe
that is a big mistake especially when it
comes to a stock like amc
in fact this was what the chart looked
like yesterday when i did this research
and this is using all or texts as well
and right here you can kind of see the
same thing it's like ah wait a minute
like when you compare the left peak to
the right peak
it's kind of like if you just look at
those two data points
you don't realize that what happened in
between was a bageled
plummet in the short interest see the
rumors that were circulating online
were only circulating the data points
for those two peaks
and to me it kind of looks like an evil
angry monster
see if you put circles around the
information that was circulating online
it's an evil monster of disinformation
or maybe i shouldn't say disinformation
because i don't think people are
intentionally
sharing wrong information but it's an
evil monster of misinformation it's very
important that we look for inflection
points
in trends now folks make arguments that
say hey
look kevin like you know 18 percent
short this is historically high
this is true 18 is very high
historically
there are a lot of different definitions
for what point short interest is deemed
to be very high
some articles say over 20 some say over
30
and that's when you get into the
extremely high short category
over 10 is deemed to be high short
ultimately though to me we have to look
at
relatively how much are the short
sellers concentrating into individual
positions
especially relative to the past and
what's interesting to me
is when folks say hey kevin the squeeze
ain't squishy i'm like wait a minute
wait a minute i'm not saying
the squeeze is close i'm just saying a
squeeze happened and i think we're
setting up for another one
i think there was a squeeze around
january 28th when we just saw on the
charts
short interest plummet i think there was
a squeeze right here on the left eye of
this cookie monster
or whatever monster you want to call it
the misinformation monster
i think there was a squeeze at this left
eyeball
and as short interest plummeted take a
look at the
chart that we have here as short
interest plummeted
what happened the price went up now
remember the yellow line is
lagging so it's natural for the yellow
line to come after the green
the point is the price went up squeezing
the shorts out to cover
shorts cover volume goes down
after a big squeeze you go into a little
volume hiatus which we've had over here
little volume hiatus leading to lower
prices at the same time
as we start consolidating guess what
happens the short sellers reload the
shotgun
they fill up the shotgun again ready to
attack
again folks this reloaded short interest
of 18.72 percent
is setting up in my opinion for the
third amc
squeeze we had one around january 28th
we had one right here around the
beginning of june the end of may
and i think we're setting up for another
one now
now no guarantees pricing is higher now
volume
is also lower it's possible that some
momentum has
left amc for the time being as as folks
have gotten distracted by
you know oh maybe clove is owned by
citadel and now all of a sudden clove is
getting pushed and now it's workhorse or
now it's there so now it's that
fine whatever but the point is this
latest data
at 18.72 percent short
with just 13.63 short interest as a
percentage of free floats seven days ago
in my opinion it's entirely possible
we're setting up
for another move which is really making
me tempted to take some profits on my
latest option strategy
while amc has been trading sideways wait
a minute kevin wait a minute
how can you profit on amc stock when
it's trading
sideways when you said you were gonna
have
all of your shares and you weren't going
to sell them well i'm not selling my amc
shares
in fact i still have them in fact i'm
going to prove it to you
and i'm going to show you how i just
made eleven thousand dollars
of free money boom that's right this is
my amc position on weeble now you're
gonna see this little 174
buy and sell you can kind of ignore that
that was supposed to be a really quick
swing trade but i had to go
so i set a trailing stop and it stopped
me out
and because i put it through as a market
order after the stop i ended up losing
20 bucks on that
that was like like you could just ignore
that because we want to talk about how i
just made 11
000 actually a little bit over eleven
thousand dollars eleven thousand five
hundred
twenty four dollars on amc trading
sideways and why i closed it out okay
you ready for this
so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna grab
my order history here grabbed a couple
shots i just
executed these trades uh well actually
the closing trade i just
executed and so here you go this is a
trade that i executed on
june 21st as always to send all my buy
sell alerts to everyone in the stocks
and psychology money group
that 40 of coupon code linked down below
does expire in
two days so here's what i did i've got
my 75
000 80 000 whatever dollar position in
amc
and i've got about just over 1400 shares
so what i did is
i sold an 80 july
9th call on those amc
shares so now that sounds bearish
but it's not in my opinion because i'm
simply
trading my expectation is not to get
called out at all
and so what happened last week was i saw
the short interest declining
and well yeah june 21st i saw the short
interest declining
and i thought okay until we get the
shorts reloading their shorts
probably not going to see a new squeeze
until we get reloaded up back to 18 19
20
which is kind of where we are now okay
which is also why i'm closing that
because i don't want to get called out
i don't want my underlying shares to be
at risk so i sold
an 80 call for july 9th which folks is
in like
10 days and i sold this call
at 9 and 80 cents so what you do is you
do 9
and 80 cents times 100 per contract
times 14.
that means i got a 13 720
credit for giving somebody else the
right to buy
amc at 80 on july 9th
but i thought it might trade sideways
until we saw that volume coming back
and the short interest going up now that
the short interest is going back up
i decided to close this position because
i don't want to lose my shares i'm
diamond handing those
i just want to make money in the
meantime and that's what you come to
this channel for is to learn some
perspective and how you can pick up some
money in the meantime
that's what i teach okay so today
uh we we're seeing the short interest go
up we
also just saw a dip on the amc chart
and so for me this was like perfect
timing so if we go to the 5-minute amc
chart i
literally just executed this trade at it
says here 1337 eastern which is 1037
which is basically right here as soon as
i saw the reversal
of prices going back up i knew it would
become
more expensive for me to buy that call
back and close that position
so as soon as i saw that reversal and i
knew we were below the v-wap on that
trading line
i thought you know what this is a
perfect time to
buy back that call position that i sold
so i bought back the call position at a
dollar
and 98 cents so i bought the same 14
positions back so i bought a callback
and take a look at this i'll show you
the calculation here i just made
10 976 dollars now i know i mentioned a
couple seconds ago like 30 seconds ago
or whatever that it was somewhere around
11
500. my bad it was only a 10 976 dollars
slight little math typo there but now we
have it correct and again that's
corroborated by the screenshots i showed
i sold a call for 9.80 this is the sold
call
this is the money that i got uh i then
subtract out
what it cost me to buy that position
back which was
one dollar and ninety six cents leading
to a profit of ten thousand
nine hundred seventy six dollars in five
six seven days so in one week i made a
profit
of eleven thousand dollars on shares
that i'm diamond handing anyway
so i basically got a free eleven
thousand dollars with that move
now it's going to be something to pay
attention to right now amc stock has
been
fluctuating a little bit uh into in the
day
it did have at one point a relatively
strong movement in the day
i'm gonna go to the five-minute
candlestick so we can see this a little
bit better and then we'll also go to
trade view we can see on the five-minute
candlestick we're seeing
volume evaporate a little bit right here
and we are seeing a
downtrend within the day could be a
shorter term consolidation
however my big thing looking forward for
amc right now
and over the next two three four weeks
is really going to be watching for a a
resurgence in
volume which could potentially lead to
another
squeeze right now we're not quite seeing
that yet
however the day is not yet over on the
28th
we already have a volume bar on the 28th
that's larger than friday's volume bar
given that we still have another two and
a half hours of trading
i would expect our volume probably is
going to look a lot closer to
june 21st june 22nd where we're
somewhere around 150 million shares
traded
unless volume falls during the day i do
think we're gonna be over a hundred
million shares traded today
which is going to be good if we get that
cat that this continued push
you wanna you're gonna watch wanna watch
amc very very very carefully
i also am going to be looking at this
very carefully for
options trading personally i'm i don't
have any uh
short-term call options i'd be maybe if
i were looking at calls
if i were ever going to do calls
certainly i would go into
this careful i would go in
probably with 45 to 90 day calls
at the shortest term and i would use
that as a smaller portion of my
portfolio
or whatever i was willing to put on amc
and then i'd probably go with
jan 2022 call options if i were
really planning for this this squeeze to
come so for example i would stay away
from
anything uh sooner in my opinion and
it's not financial advice just
for entertainment purposes only i'd
probably be looking somewhere at the
aug 20s and uh
let's get to calls not puts there we go
so i'd probably
be over here looking at maybe a
forty dollar yeah forty dollar in the
money call
you've got some high implied volatility
here so if this volatility goes down
the value of these options is going to
get crushed so you'd have to be
really really comfortable that we're
going to see and a third sort of squeeze
sometime within you know the next two to
three weeks that's going to be something
to keep an eye on
now what i'm going to do is also go out
to jan
and i would say over here in jan 2020
you probably
want to look at also the 40s you've got
massive open interest here the implied
volatility is about 50 percent
less it's still very high at 148 percent
they're a little bit more pricey today
if we get a red day tomorrow you could
probably get a cheap deal on something
like this out here
personally and you know this i trade
with less than one percent of my
portfolio
less than one percent of my portfolio is
exactly what i trade with
and so when i trade uh individual trades
might only represent a quarter percent
of my portfolio
so by no means am i going uh all in on
on
any trade doesn't matter by conviction
level i will go all in though on
on long-term high conviction plays which
of course we regularly talk about
whether it's on the channel
or in the stocks and psychology of money
course link down below
so uh we do have a little bit of this
rotation here down on the minute chart
for uh this is amc calls so let's go
ahead and get
amc chart itself up there we go now
we've got amc
up on the minute chart kind of rotating
down here on the minute
if we go out to an interval of five
we're going to get a little bit of a
better view
on the actual day here let's go out to
five minutes there we go
this gives us a day view here on amc
rotating back down to roughly where we
opened
we did open pretty much flat did run up
about four or five percent
now sitting around that 57 level i'm
going to be keeping an eye on this
if i were to buy a call it probably be
over here
and i don't know that i would sell
calls at this point selling calls has
been very
profitable because the short interest
has been falling and the implied
volatility
hasn't been so you've been taking big
premiums by
selling calls which i know some people
hear selling call
it's like oh my gosh that's bearish it's
just a way to make money during a
sideways trading market
but with this cookie monster here on the
uh
short interest chart i would probably
caution against
new sold call positions
with this short interest increasing here
but keep an eye on volume so these are
some of my thoughts
uh we'll we'll see if i make any kind of
trade i'll make sure to send out alerts
as i regulate
it regularly they do and stocks and
psychology money that course coupon code
does expire
in two days and folks these are my
thoughts on
the setup for the double or the triple
on amc
uh sweets that is the third second or
third squeeze however you want to look
at it second recent third
over this year squeeze for amc my
thoughts thank you so much for watching
and folks
we'll see you next time
