I don't understand how SDC became the new shiny object. It is not a good short squeeze candidate compared with the other candidates:

- Very large float compared with other squeeze plays.

- 80% institutional ownership, so most of the shorts are big money that can't be pressured into covering their shorts because they have too much capital to get margin called.

- Very cheap cost to borrow, making it all the more easy for institutional shorts to hold their short positions long enough to ride out this little pump and dump.

- This is a literal pump and dump because it is not squeezing anyone out except a few small retail shorts who can get margin called. Retail is pumping it (like flooding this board with all-caps desperate posts), some lucky retail will make some money, and many retail will end up getting hurt, with the lucky few profiting at their expense.

I'm not complaining, just pointing out what's really going on here. SDC has no potential to squeeze MMs or hedge funds, but lots of potential to hurt average people.
