I suck at options these day, but can I trade shares of BYND for 43%+ profit. That’s some boomer shit.

BYND makes no fucking sense. Numbers are cooked, products are shit and overpriced.

LEAVE BBBY. Let it fall back to 6. Shift to BYND. >40% short interest this calendar year. Stock was above $100 prior to heavy shorting. Also stock is down today, presenting a good buy opportunity.

Can we please discuss how BYND has had a >35% short interest float since Q3 2021?
