The Financial Times analysis makes me happy I'm still short GEO (private prison stock)

I posted about my short last week: [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1gqijhb/pump\_and\_dump\_alert\_geo\_group\_stock\_likely\_to/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1gqijhb/pump_and_dump_alert_geo_group_stock_likely_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

It's **a hype cycle** that is overbought. We've seen this before and **after the hype comes the crash**.

**The Financial Times** published an article quantifying **the poor performance of these same private prison stocks** under the first Trump administration where the same stock price dynamics played out: [https://www.ft.com/content/a8832793-8644-415b-9cb0-2fe67a35fece](https://www.ft.com/content/a8832793-8644-415b-9cb0-2fe67a35fece)

**Position:** I am still short 1,956 shares at an average cost basis of $25.31.
