>I'm not familiar with the specifics of Rite Aid's stock, but it does appear that short selling activity has been unusually high in recent years. If this is due to manipulation by a large agency or institutions attempting to keep prices low, then I would suggest doing more research into who may be behind these activities and what their motivations might be.

Thanks for your submission!

To prevent terrible and illiquid companies from flooding our subreddit, we've instituted a minimum market cap threshold.

This threshold is $500MM and is automatically enforced by a bot.

Sometimes however, it gets things wrong. If that's the case, please send us a message and we'll look into it right away.

The bot will unspam tickers when their market cap is >500MM and re-spam them after they sink to under 400MM. (Roughly, and sometimes it takes a day or two to update)

If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to modmail and we'll give you some pointers!

Imagine being so dumb you only look at short float, McDonald's made 2 billion, rite aid lost 325 million.

There’s no value in a company that loses money every year. It’s a wonder they haven’t filed for bankruptcy.

and what do you think will happen when rite aid shows a profit? which will happen wether you like it or not…CEO is making positive changes and cutting off the parts of the company that are dragging down profits..

You think they are going to show a profit, they can only reverse split so many times before they are delisted, which will happen before they show a profit. That is why they are shorted.
