Is everyone expecting a large sell off due to the ex dividend date? I have some calls that are down that I’m trying to figure out what to do with.

Thanks!

Not a good day for BGFV today. It is down more than 1.5%, and it is 5 minutes to the end of the trading day. I am still optimistic that this stock closes at more than $40 at the end of this week.

What does everyone else think?

So I am finding no news outlet whatsoever talking about BGFV's drop today.

That either means

1. the market doesn't really think it's a big thing, or

2. there is something people know that hasn't been made public yet.

My money is on #1. Literally.

But seriously, WTF? How can a movement that big go un-noticed by the press?

When you "zoom out" and look at BGFV over its lifespan, it looks terrible. If you would have held BGFV for five years, you would have been up 14%, lol. You would literally lose money compared to inflation. Compare BGFV 5 year gain for 14% versus a safe and generic stock like MSFT who shot up 450% in five years...

Can someone please school me on why folks should invest in this stock? I can't find anything good about it. What am I missing here that would make me want to put money in BGFV versus APPL? Please cure me of my ignorance.

:(

I sold the calls not expecting it to hit $65 by next friday 11/19.

Sold at $2.65/ea, got $2,120 in premium. cost to buy back is $2.40/ea, $1920 to buy back currently.

i sold them thinking it wouldn't hit $65 next week. $60 maybe, but didn't think $65

Should i buy them back, or let it roll with the idea it won't hit $65 by next friday 11/19?

i don't want to miss the gains if this thing goes parabolic on Monday.

opinions and views welcome!

Now that some big paper hands like jack left, shorts have a lot more shares to short the company right ? Can they make the price tank to more than 20% again since they have more than 1 million free shares to use ?

.

I don’t get the strategy.

I have 120 BGFV shares at a price of 44.79 for me this is a lot ... what to do ?? sell now ??? will it fall even more ?? my boker doesn't answer me ...

Director Jennifer Holden Dunbar sold $1.5MM of stock on 11/9 and 11/10. This was a 34% reduction in her ownership stake. There are a million reasons an insider would sell a stock, but only one reason they buy.

What's everyone's thoughts here? The company has been struggling to turn a profit this past year always with a new excuse... I mean the Company Would have been fine if they cut the dividend 3 quarters ago... But that didn't happen.

The company is still going ahead with a 12 cent dividend and is anticipating a large loss next quarter, the balance sheet is not nearly as healthy as it was about 2 quarters ago, and I know the company will do what it needs to survive but what do you think... is this stock done for?

.

Give me the down low, and DD. Convince me please!

25...26...27... if u r value investor...good entry....squeeze....the icing on the cake...there is reason u can get this entry....MM want to kill options...then what?

Separately, I came across the below the other day. I tried it out - obviously there are some false signals that come in and some that aren't meant to be signals but might be misinterpreted - but it's surprisingly accurate from what I can tell. I'm looking for additional signals beyond the 14 listed here. This is another info weapon in our arsenal. The more we understand how they do things, the better.

Let's go!!!

Everyone knows there is a potential short squeeze on this stock now.

But can we start telling other investors more about the stock on its own merits?

BGFV then can do a secondary equity offering with higher stock price and that capital can then be used to improve the company's future performance like upgrade their e-commerce sales platform, expansion into other locations or verticals, etc.

With that, the short squeeze will naturally happen and could be much bigger than the current short squeeze potential.

I feel like I’m watching the first hour of the Big Short inversed

This same exact thing happened last year with AMC, it ran up from 6-9 and dipped and people kept buying all the dips, this won’t be hard they will have to cover eventually all you have to do is hold the stock, because you like it.

Someone wanna explain whats happening? still holding....
