$ABR Not a bad close for this week! Some shorts are continuing to close positions (available shares increasing), another day of high 10-20% borrow fees! Enjoy the weekend!

$ABR Silver and Gold are responding to the anticipation of rate cuts.... next in line will be high yielding dividend stocks. That's the happy thought for today, have a good weekend.

$ABR Fri Morning Thought: For companies with big short positions: $ABR, $RILY, $MPW $GME, $AMC : Roaring Kitty posts are being questioned....Jay Claton questioning a post with a person leaning in on their chair....is left for investor interpretation but he is questioning whether this should be tolerated in our markets. How about having some focus on VICEROY! Who has been sued, issues FUD on ex-divy or when company can't buy shares to protect price, and reports have false information to twist a story. Raging Kitty is pointing out you should do some homework on an investment....he is not issuing false or twisted info. Suspect this is not the end of Raging Kitty.

$ABR Hasn't dropped much...13.81 close + 0.43 divy = 14.24. Historically, ABR recovers to the pre-divy price in 14 days but a new base needs to be discovered. Also the higher short borrow rates have been ranging 10-22% depending on brokers will cause a re-eval of risk/reward and now starting to see some shorts exit (share availability is starting to increase slowly). These rates tack on 0.11-0.27/share/month - like a mini divy/month.

$ABR Literally warned that this would dump after the ex-div. I don't think this "short-squeeze" is going to happen. Also, i don't think the company itself is bad, but the commercial real estate sector isnt necessarily where id want to be at this current juncture.

$ABR I got another email from Schwab, interest rates on borrowed short positions is now 10 percent. Has gone up a full percent in less then a week.

$ABR Thought for the day: "Investment history has shown that buying mortgage REITs when the outlook for the industry appears grimmest is a smart move." A rate cut is right around the corner....so grim may be leaving soon....we may get a few more economic speed bumps or some more nasty short reports but I am sticking to my strategy and adding to ABR" Given ABR volatility....don't jump in all at once....I also phase my divy purchases over time. Good luck with your allocation decisions and timing purchases!

$ABR From a technical perspective we closed the gap from 5/14, then bounced off the gap. Excited to have the divy. I spent some in advance, leveraging margin when we were in the 12s, but will be deploying the remainder back into ABR over the next few weeks once received.

$ABR Have placed orders for short puts at the moment at 12.5 and 13. Will take the shares at this level if it happens to hit. Will use the premium to add more shares if they expire.

$ABR Orbisa securities lending analytics. 98.15% utilization, increasing duration. Borrow rate at IB 20%. 350K available to borrow just popped in this morning but rate still climbing. Viceroy effect is waning and barely a dent has been made to cover the overall short position. Company buying shares below and ready to rake in cash if this squeezes. A few whales could send if desired.

$ABR if Viceroy keeps us up, they might lose some credibility.... :)

$ABR came out smelling like a rose. Got fat premiums on 14.5’s this week. They called my shares yesterday at 14.5 and I got them back today at 13.83. .67 cents plus the .45 cent premiums… 1.12 this week vs just the .43 dividend.

$ABR ...and there we have it another new report from Viceroy just published and like clock work on ex-divy day like the last many ex-divy days. There strategy is very clear in how they aim to manipulate. I am convinced that this mini short squeeze was like a preshock earth quake....before the big one.

$ABR Food for thought: 91% call volume yesterday, 9% put volume and massive buying last 5 min of close. What else is going on that we don't see yet: how many fails to deliver (FTD) are occurring? Are FTD influencing borrow rates? Some brokerages have limited/no shares to lend and what becomes avail are being eaten up by new short positions.

$ABR Ex-divy day complete! Now will the borrow fee for ABR continue to escalate and make shorts uncomfortable? Yesterday hit 22.55% at Interactive Brokers. Back of envelope math nets this to 0.27/share/month. Will we get another FUD short attack even though they did one prior to ex-divy?

$CTNT i don’t follow meme trends but been holding this @ 1.53 .. i see the trucks on the hwys in california and know that’s worth over 2$ .. boots on the ground is a different value than vc etc (at least for now) cashed out cost basis and might average up a bit as the dust settles.. throw half the bag at $ABR and make it work for me w dividends forever more

$ABR Wow....share borrow rate at 18.9% at one broker. Keeps climbing.....volatility, low availability of shares, and divy obligation will drive this rate up further.

$ABR Last 2 min of trade...saw two big trades of 322K each cross the tape...what a close/clawing back toward 15 level.

$ABR Hmmm... I'm pretty conflicted on what to do here. Because of all the shorts, I usually sell a bunch before ex-dividend b/c shorts drive it down way more then the divy. But the recent price action has been all over the place. It's also fallen a bunch today already. And the CPI report was marginally good, which would otherwise have made this stock go up. Really not sure what to do before the bell...

$ABR curling. Still virtually no borrow at IB and rate up to 18.9%
