Good Morning! This is Mother Squeezer, the newsletter that gets you battle ready by bringing you clever life hacks, updates and insights along with timely information about our favorite Activist Investor, Ryan Cohen, and our favorite stocks - GME and BBBY.

The missus made us a rather delicious pasta dish for dinner yesterday. We wanted to share it with you but you'll have to settle for a photo

We'll begin by getting the sad news out of the way first. Did you hear about the Italian chef who recently died?

He pasta-way. /joke

In all seriousness, this morning we're coming at you with a little more gravity than usual. But just a little bit. We'll start with a reminder:

Part of being battle ready is being mentally prepared for whatever is thrown at us. Speaking of being prepared, every soldier needs proper nourishment in order to be at his best. This life hack will keep you prepared for meals to come:

Are you familiar with the mpemba effect?

Wednesday Recap: Another explosive start for Bed Bath and Beyond. It rocketed up and was almost immediately halted once it hit $30. The remainder of the day was relatively uneventful until the short and distort campaign just before close.

Let's address the FUD head-on. Here's what we know:

• Yesterday Bed Bath and Beyond released this statement letting investors know they've been working expeditiously to strengthen the balance sheet

• Ryan Cohen filed form 144 that allows him the right to sell up to his entire position in BBBY within the next 90 days

• The media spun and outright lied in what appears to be a "short and distort" tactic

While the media spun this as bearish, we can't help but scratch our heads. We see this as INCREDIBLY BULLISH! After the BBBY statement yesterday this seems to be setting the stage for the Buy Buy Baby update we've been waiting for.

Ryan Cohen does everything strategically. It's no "cohen"cidence that BBBY released the statement before the form 144 news broke. If you're still waiting for a good entry in BBBY, now may be the time! We're super excited to see how this unfolds! 🚀

Cost to borrow: There were 350,000 shares available to borrow this morning and as of now, 200,000 remain. The cost to borrow has skyrocketed up to 67.1%.

Pre market: Bed Bath and Beyond is trading down $3.17 to $19.93 a decrease of 13.73% on over 9 million volume.

Max pain: The current max pain for BBBY has risen to $20.

Wednesday Recap: GameStop had a pretty uneventful trading session. It suffered a bit late in the day after the FUD broke on Ryan Cohen selling his BBBY shares.

Cost to borrow: There were 400,000 shares available earlier this morning. Currently there are 25,000 remaining. The cost to borrow has remained steady at 20.2%.

Pre market: GameStop is trading down $0.72 to $39.80 a decrease of 1.78% on 127 thousand volume.

Max pain: The current max pain for GME has risen to $39.50.

Yesterday, GameStopNFT tweeted:

Just one more reason to be long on GameStop. The wallet is another revenue stream for investors.

Did you know?

In “short and distort” strategies, which are illegal, the goal of manipulators is to first short a stock and then engage in a campaign to spread unverified bad news about the stock with the objective of panicking other investors into selling their stock in order to drive the price down.

FUD Attack!

FUD = fear, uncertainty and doubt.

If you didn't have your battle gear on, now's the time. The media, the hedge funds along with other vulture investors are out to capitalize on misinformation. Yesterday, just before market close, media outlets started reporting that Ryan Cohen had sold his entire stake in Bed Bath and Beyond:

This is 100% false. Not just a little bit wrong, ENTIRELY!

Those of us who've been in GameStop since "the early days" have seen this type of "short and distort" tactic before. This simply shows desperation.

We were disappointed to hear from one of our readers telling us about how this impacted their options play for Friday - potentially wiping out most of his unrealized gains. Hopefully none of our readers were misled into selling their shares on this "news".

We wanted to take this opportunity to warn you about what we're up against. They will lie, steal, cheat and try to change the rules in order not to lose.

There are trillions of dollars at stake so be prepared for a battle. This will not be an easy ride but will most likely be full of events like what we saw yesterday. Stay the course and you will be handsomely rewarded. We'll talk about exit strategies in a future edition.

Ryan Says

Ryan tweeted this last November:

We don't believe Ryan is looking to sell any of his positions anytime soon. No matter what main stream media reports.

We believe Ryan Cohen is becoming this generation's premier activist investor. That's why we created this newsletter - to help others become aware.

Spread the Word

We love Ryan Cohen and think he's the greatest Activist Investor of our generation. We are passionate followers of his moves and words and would love for others to know more about this great leader. We feel strongly that life is all about learning who to follow. If you have someone that needs more RC in their life, share Mother Squeezer with them!
