With all the retail investors and the massive volume this should be easy to borrow.
Unless of course everything available to borrow is already borrowed and shorted.
BTW (HB) hard to borrow means you can't borrow the stock to short because there are no shares available. A broker sells you a stock. That broker then makes that stock available for others to short. The broker itself may short the stock to sell to you in the first place.
I think this thing could be the most volatile stock ever. It has so many factors influencing it. Legal, moral, political, business, the actual merger (SPACs were hot and controversial last year), mainstream media will be involved, conspiracy, Q, and retail traders are really starting to figure out the games wallstreet plays.. I mean it’s a pretty perfect storm. I’m excited regardless.
