    Is there any easy way to short GME (and other US stocks for that matter) from NZ? Surely this is now a clear short opportunity.

    That’s what the hedge fund thought .These closed at $198.00 at the end of their session yesterday . Currently over $ 400 in after market or premarket whatever it is . That’s a whole world of pain to a short ..... Good luck !

    It only closed down because of what I said in previous post...
    This is a huge stab in the back for all retail investors...

    Only if you enjoy the thought of impending bankruptcy. As at yesterday, there were 9000 total stocks available to borrow for a short, at 32%. Naked shorting unless you're a market maker is securities fraud. And all the float is in the hands of either ETFs that can't drop them yet because they need to wait for rebalance, or people who hold simply for the purpose of destroying you​ if you're shorting it.
