FINRA’s $XXXX rule does significantly tighten shorting below ~$2, and GNS has a new $100M ATM (at-the-market) program activated, so big dilution risk is very real for anyone hoping for a short squeeze on a low float. There’s still chatter on forums about a potential squeeze, but the overall setup—including the dilution possibility and lack of forced short coverage from the ERL spinoff—makes a true squeeze far less likely and supports the idea that this is more “pump” than “trap-the-shorts” setup. If you’re considering trading this, keep a close eye on fresh filings and dilution pace, because the story can shift fast with a shelf that size.
