> won't just figure a way to ride this out until it crashes

For one, the calls look like they’re still overpriced relative to the puts. So manufacturing calls via put-call parity would be a starting point. (Spot checked the puts—they seem to break even under 100 per share out to November, so not much juice left there.)

It’s also only the leveraged funds burning out. And they don’t only own GameStop shorts. So money will be made bailing them out and cramming down their existing LPs.

This kind of a pyramidesque system almost guarantees that the most pain will be felt in the reversion to the mean, not flexion from it.
