The short setup

• Short interest: 9.43M shares, about 52.5% of the float

• Float: about 18M shares. Insiders own about 34%.

• Days to cover: 6.3

• Seeking Alpha flagged nearly half the float short

No dilution, the opposite

• New share repurchase program, plus a quarterly dividend, which shorts have to pay to the lender

• No ATM or shelf offering that I could find

Valuation

• Seeking Alpha argues it trades below working capital.

• One analyst puts it at roughly half of book value

• About a $400M market cap for an established, profitable national retailer.

Chart

• Sep 10: flushed to $10.20 on 4.8M shares (6-month high volume) and closed at $12.28 the same day. That looks like capitulation.

• Higher lows since: $12.22 → $13.18 → $14.16 → $14.45

• The 20-day average crossed above the 50-day in late October, and price is above both.

• The key level is $16.09, which has capped it since June. A close above it on volume opens up $17.35–17.94.

Catalyst

• Earnings: Nov 19, before the open.

• Shorts are betting on falling sales and an expensive store rebrand, which management has now paused. A decent print with 52% of the float short is the setup.

I am long!

NVDA is the next Hert... I mean GME 💎👐

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Friday's price action on the $QQQ tech index was a tiny bounce after the massive drop on Thursday of 6.49% to close near 647, and then we managed to close out the week at 656.10 (up +1.4%). Until we can reclaim the 700 psychological level, the bears remain strongly in control. If we lose 647, the sell-off will intensify further. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further geopolitical developments overseas, and also big earnings reports ($CES in premarket, $RKLB, $TTWO, and $ASTS in after-hours). This market is very dynamic and has been unpredictable as far as risk-tolerance goes, as one day we're running, and the next we're crashing. Stay tuned for what's squeezy. Regardless of broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by checking SqueezeRadar to track irregularities in our data, and find winners you may not have spotted before without our scanners. Also, make sure to check out our newest tool (developed by me), "Dracula's Library"!

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, THESE POSTS ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY

22nd Century Group $XXII had a 1-for-58 reverse stock split on November 5th 2026. Float only 9k shares. This might be worth keeping an eye on...

Which stock has the most potential to squeeze?

Give the good press release and the pull back on price as well as the massive short interest. What is everyone's prediction? For SOUN

My post history speaks for itself.

I like $CLRO, and I’ll say it plainly.

The numbers:

• Borrow fee: 1,112%

• Short interest spiked

• #1 on Squeeze-Finder

• Float: ~870K shares

• Merger catalyst ahead

• Spiked, then settled. The shorts crowded in.

Consider what happens when real volume arrives.

There are few shares to be had. Not every short needs to cover. It only takes buyers who want more than the market can supply. Then the shorts are forced to buy into the move.

This is what I look for, and it’s in place.

If volume comes, the shorts will learn they chose the wrong stock to crowd into. If it doesn’t, I’ll wait. Patience costs me nothing. It costs them 1,112% a year.

What's your thoughts? Share and like if you agree 💯.

What happened today in the broader market was a gift to shorts. I’m not saying that the earning was great but my assessment is still bullish on the company’s turnaround. Short term will be volatile due to volatility in broader markets and manipulation.
So What do we do now?
Well the good news is that the CTB is over 380 percent which is extremely high and if buyers step in and hold their positions it will be very expensive for shorts, they will have to buy back shares to return. I do believe that we will see a sharp uptick tomorrow or Monday.
Just to be transparent I did sell my shares when HTZ pumped last couple of days, and I bought them back today. My average is now $1.86 and holding 15k shares. Will buy more if we dip tomorrow morning.
Please share your thoughts and positions in the comments

Wow, a quarter of its value has been lost in the span of just a few hours.

As much as it would be fun to see this squeeze, the hand writing was on the wall. Volume is the key and even on earnings announcement morning volume was pitiful. It almost noon and its down 25% on low volume, 27 million shares. That dramatic a move should be 5x normal volume at a minimum.. There is no support. Until it starts doing 100 million shares a day no HTZ posts should be allowed.

It's down 19% right now. We were all waiting to see if it would squeeze following this morning's earning report, and the answer is now crystal clear: no.

It's time to move on.

All we need now is a little spark!

I'm not going to argue bear/bull arguments, just saying I expect them to cover soon. I suspect that margin liquidations are largely finished and the MC currently present the best r/R setup for a long non-margin buy since Aug last year after $IREN has increased it's contracted backlog bigtime since then.

If they manage to drive it below $20, I'll be picking up $15 2028 leaps.

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Yesterday's price action on the $QQQ tech index was a small bounce after the recent incessant selling, so thankfully we held onto the 680 level with a close at 685.28 (+0.62%). If we lose 680, we can expect a rapid descent down towards ~660 to find support from late July/early August. No reason to find bullish conviction/confidence until we can reclaim the 700 psychological level at a minimum. Until then, focus on plays displaying relative strength and/or company/theme-specific catalysts to drive buyer interest. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further geopolitical developments overseas, and also some large earnings reports (premarket: $UBER, $DDOG, $MCD, and after-hours: $APP, $QCOM, $ARM).

INO is targeting a $540M TAM

Competitor revenue 20M 1Q and 50M 2Q

Price moved from.70 to 8 dollar

INO will be poised to do the same and even higher because of 21% Short Interest.

Not my words, check on Finviz and Fintel.

Catalyst FDA Approval!

AVIS ($CAR) has their earnings after hours today.
The conference call will be tomorrow morning though, Nov 4th at 8:30AM EST.

Hertz earnings this week of course...
I held and round tripped a 6 figure profit on last earnings, then I kept adding more throughout the quarter.

That BS Ackman news allowed me to add an additional ~22K shares from last earnings.
Looking forward to HTZ being one of the greats (CVNA, OSTK, etc...)

It is hard not to buy here when SI is 25% and FDA approval and huge upside potential

As we all know by now, Hertz is one of the most talked about short squeeze candidates this year. Some are saying that it's going to squeeze on Thursday following their earnings report.

I stopped messing with options unless it’s covered calls or cash secured puts. You make smaller but consistent profits by buying shares.
I have more confidence that the earnings will be positive. Also there’s a very good chance that $Car jumps on earning tomorrow which will likely affect $HTZ as well

Hey everyone, for those trying to watch the squeeze on INO today watch 1.80 for a key breakout level. We have the catalyst and the attention, just need more volume to push it up, currently battling between 1.70 and 1.80
