The whole meme stock movement is about how price is manipulated and the whole David versus Goliath story line, but are funds so myopic that they keep shorting into a stock that pummeled them 3 years ago apparently due to a short squeeze that was only possible because of the massive shorting? It's kind of like punching yourself in the face...twice. What's with the obsession with gamestop? It can only be the volatility that they must be selling premium against...and then trying to pin price. How much did short sellers lose on GameStop?

It looks like Roaring Kitty may have closed out most of his June 21 Calls. Over 90,000 contracts traded, most of them late in the day. For his sake, hopefully he closed them and did not roll them.
So there was 93k volume today for the 20 strike Kitty calls but OI (166k) barely changed? Options guys explain this plz...
