Still showing an 88% Short on all float shares. So it is still heavily shorted, but it looks like some have closed or pulled out.

The play has always been GME hold until they pay have to buy back their overextended shorts. Every other ticker, commodity or "next GME" is just a distraction to sell your shares.
When you get to advance trading strategies.....it is above my experience level. I think the GME play to squeeze the short based on the volume of the shorts was brilliantly pulled off. In terms of pulling it off for other stocks or commodities....we will see how that plays out.
Based on watching people interviewed on it and asking my son some questions (he work in the financial markets and works worth some very large investment portfolios). It sounds like hedge funds are only required to reveal their portfolios quarterly. If that is the case I think it would be pretty hard to know what their positions clearly are. Like Melkin said he closed all his shorts. Did he or did he just say he did?
I told my son that I think that hedge fund managers are just going to lay low for a period of time to avoid any big losses. It will be just a matter of time before they go back at it or start working on deals at a dinner meeting where one buys the short and the other buys the longs.
My son said they had a meeting today and they said that the hedge fund managers are already adjusting and reducing their short positions.
Irrespective of any reddit predictions I still think Silver (SLV) is a good long term play because of the debt and money printing currently.
