$HQ Shorts holding 1,000 shares are now paying ~
$266/week in borrow fees alone as annual borrow rates surge to 87%+ at
$15.90.
Assuming a short entered back in June near
$40 and covers at
$20, gross gain is
$20,000 (50%). But after paying cumulative borrow fees over the last 3 months, net profit is getting eaten alive—and every week bleeds cash faster.
Here’s the trap for shorts: borrow fees are calculated on CURRENT market value. As
$HQ rises toward
$20+, the weekly borrow bill expands exponentially alongside capital losses.
With a
$10 PIPE floor setting an asymmetric risk/reward and an 87% fee bleed squeezing shorts daily, long setup looks primed for a 2-3x move. 🚀
