Good Morning! This is Mother Squeezer, the newsletter that is awaiting the bond exchange outcome and brings you updates and insights along with timely information about our favorite Activist Investor, Ryan Cohen, and our favorite stocks - GME and BBBY.

The latest bond exchange offer from BBBY expires tonight just before midnight. We're not expecting this one to get extended again. We're hoping to learn the outcome in the coming days and see if the theories of Carl Icahn being involved were accurate.

The table has been set for an fireworks to ensue. Borrowable shares have decreased, the cost to borrow has increased, the earnings report is due in a matter of trading days, Ryan Cohen's standstill agreement has ended and the options chain is primed.

Buckle up!

Did you know?

A standstill agreement is a contract that contains provisions that govern how a bidder of a company can purchase, dispose of, or vote stock of the target company. A standstill agreement can effectively stall or stop the process of a hostile takeover if the parties cannot negotiate a friendly deal.

Beyond Uranus

There's a new stream on Youtube devoted to BBBY. It airs each Wednesday evening at 8pm EST. If you're free tonight, tune in for some more insights and theories:
