People, check out Avis $CAR
This is a relentless short squeeze. Up 10-20% day or day for the last 2 weeks in case y'all missed. ATM IV is @ 270% and spreads of $8 on top and you still come out ahead day after day.
This is a text book short squeeze for those who want a case study, basically Volkswagen all over again for this who remember (read the wikipedia article, it is very informative of the mechanics and will help you piece the story here, funny thing with car companies eh!).
I was short and DCA's into a big position, then hedged with options. Friday was terrifying when it never crashed intraday, same thing today (it had been in the prior two weeks). I closed out my short last night for a decent loss (this can turn into a black swan with broker liquidating me despite my hedge). Went extra long today (my hedge calls plus more today) and am almost back to breakeven. $620 and I am green again. Been a fun ride, and it is easy to understand. Here are some more deets by Matt Levine:

This bro also got it mostly right:

This will keep running due to lack of float and I see it continuing atleast for a day or two. It's going to be very interesting to see the end game. There are simply no natural sellers in the market.
Do your homework, but this can totally be understood and next leg predicted ;)
**EDIT: Check out HTZ too, that is a lower risk play because these tickers are correlated. CAR goes 20% and HTZ does 5%. Cheap calls since stock is only @ 7 so you can risk it for some Big Macs basically.**
Also compare how much some of the other stocks went up. VCX was a recent example, 25x. This is at 4x and lots of shorts piled on today.
Also I know about the 5 million ATM offering,. I have analyzed it all, comment below. I have been checking the ortex data, sip trades data, tracking block trades, options flows from opra etc. Been through all filings. Hallbower still has half a million shares up for delivery from the synthetic long in September.

Classic inverted market structure in IV like you see typically with commodities. Market is worried about it going up, not down.
