Update to my $HTZ post earlier: I’ve been monitoring $HTZ for the past little bit and:

Like the title says, I’ve been monitoring $HTZ for squeeze set ups for the past little bit and some interesting data is coming out now.

Official short data came out for 14 Aug which indicates shares short rose from 97.5M (15JUL) to 103.2M (31JUL) to now latest data of 110.06M (14AUG).

Because volume has increased days to cover has fluctuated but is about 3.5-5 DTC varied on which site you look at.

CTB has somehow kept dropping gradually, which is interesting based on the amount of shares short increasing.

Call options data has increased as well. HTZ’s near-term options setup is heavily call-skewed, with roughly 75.5K call contracts of open interest versus about 26.4K puts, and the largest concentration sitting directly above the stock at approximately 24.9K $2.50 calls, 19.3K $3.00 calls, and 21.8K $3.50 calls—about 65.9K contracts representing 6.6M shares of notional exposure.

I’m keeping an eye out for the CTB to see where it goes, but short interest in the stock has been steadily increasing the past few weeks.

What are y’all’s thoughts?
