XRT had over 600% short interest in 2011 because it’s filled with failing brick and mortar retailers.

XRT has been highly shorted for well over a decade because pretty much all of the stocks in it are failing brick and mortars, including gamestop. What does that have to do with GameStop’s short position?

Then how do you explain the massive drop in short interest in the graph in the sec report? Short interest can’t drop without shorts covering…

Shorts covering causes the initial run-up and then retail FOMO’d in causing the rest. The short interest graph and language starting on the bottom of page 26 make it clear that shorts covered.

It’s also a history of video game technology. You can compare Madden 88, 94, 2002, etc; and see the mini-history of video games. https://youtu.be/3k4TTpjk63k

Yea I just bought a netgear router and it didn’t require a cloud account. It did push creating one very heavily during setup.

Because Russia doesn’t have a free press. So your “personal experience” is one filtered through what the Russian government allows to be printed.

Your argument basically boils down to “you should trust propaganda from the authoritarian Chinese government because I trust the propaganda from the authoritarian Russian government.” It’s not very convincing.

The US is too big for that definition to make sense. Unless people are proposing cutting off the border and trade with Florida. On the other hand, having far-right beliefs like “anti-globalism” (whatever that means) is heavily correlated wi

So deranged conspiracies only believed by the far-right? Also you listed “trade” with no qualifier. Is the entire concept of trading a path to one world government? That’s a pretty serious leap in logic.

You are the one using the word “globalist” as a pejorative. The opposite is isolationists and FP is a geopolitics magazine. So where is the isolationist’s geopolitics perspective you seem to claim is missing?
