News unlocks the map, right?

Recently, there has been a huge uptick in two things - institutional/corporate investors buying GME, and CAT (consolidated audit trail - or as I understand it, proof that the thing you’re trading exists and is yours) errors.

Maybe I’m reaching, I don’t consider myself a particularly adept decoder, but there was a great video “Eat the Cat” not terribly long ago.

What if these are meant to be related and the video was “Eat the CAT”?

Tariffs could easily have impact on hedge fund liquidity. If their liquidity dries up, so does their ability to maintain short interest.

Meanwhile, the dogs, who they were also eating, are, in finance:

In business, a dog (also known as a "pet") is one of the four categories or quadrants of the BCG Growth-Share matrix developed by Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s to manage different business units within a company. A dog is a business unit that has a small market share in a mature industry. A dog thus neither generates the strong cash flow nor requires the hefty investment that a cash cow or star unit would (two other categories in the BCG matrix). A dog measures low on both market share and growth.

However, what a dog is, is competition and market share. So by using a combination of eating dogs, and eating CAT errors (I.e. “hiding fraud”), the hedge funds would be able to gobble up share and control the market, while keeping their “liquidity” fraud train going.

Maybe I’m reaching on this, it just seems odd that there is a “Eat the —-” news comm within days of CAT errors exploding into the millions, daily. Your mileage may vary. Maybe just something to watch for.
