The subreddit, describing itself through the tagline 'Like 4chan found a Bloomberg terminal', is known for its aggressive trading strategies, which primarily revolve around highly speculative, leveraged options trading. The subreddit was founded in 2012 by Jaime Rogozinski, who has since been removed as a moderator by Reddit administrators.ģĞffect on the Robinhood trading platform It has become notable for its colorful and profane jargon, aggressive trading strategies, harassment and for playing a major role in the GameStop short squeeze that caused losses for some US firms and short sellers in a few days in early 2021. R/wallstreetbets, also known as WallStreetBets or WSB, is a subreddit where participants discuss stock and option trading.

Goldman? JPMorgan? Merrill Lynch? Or even Citadel, whose more of a market maker?) is confirming that Northwest has seen 'unprecedented naked shorting over the past 6 months' which is, at the very least, interesting.Īnyhow, I finally found the link so I'm posting it. I don't know who this u/ShortSqueezeEm person is. And Northwest wouldn't even be on the OTC if they hadn't been practically naked shorted to death while they were on Nasdaq.Īnyhow, here's the link (which still apparently takes you to the wallstreetbets reddit post):Īnd below are the bot comments explaining the reasons for the removal (which you can also click on and see through the link): which seems odd, seeing as OTC stocks are also naked shorted.

I'm thinking that the wallstreetbets group aren't allowing OTC stocks to be discussed in their forum.

The wallstreetbets post had been deleted, which was of course why I couldn't find it on the reddit boards. I finally found it through some creative googling. I'd heard that there had been a post written about NWBO on the r/wallstreetbets reddit board about the naked short position and about a big broker who had indicated Northwest had been naked shorted a lot.īut until recently, I hadn't been able to find the post. Is NWBO a future short squeeze target for r/wallstreetbets ? See the two articles below.
