Honestly, the SEC might just want to investigate this tweet, because it reeks of market manipulation

What/s your take, /biz/? 1/3

Here’s what the official bi-monthly short-interest reports show for Cracker Barrel (CBRL) since Julie Felss Masino became CEO on Nov 1, 2023:

CEO start: Nov 1, 2023 (board/press release).


Short interest (shares sold short, by settlement date):

Nov 15, 2023: 2,575,530

Dec 29, 2023: 2,498,929

Apr 15, 2024: 3,138,554

Jul 31, 2024: 3,225,254

Oct 15, 2024: 2,521,436

Dec 31, 2024: 2,572,819

Mar 31, 2025: 3,031,540

Jun 30, 2025: 5,509,365

Jul 31, 2025: 5,022,924 (days-to-cover ≈ 6.34).


Trend: from the first post-appointment reading (2.58M on 2023-11-15) to the latest available (5.02M on 2025-07-31), reported short interest has nearly doubled (~+95%). The most abrupt climb occurred in Q2–Q3 2025 (roughly 3.0M 5.5M, then 5.0M). As of late July 2025, that equated to roughly ~26% of float short and a multi-day “days to cover” reading—both notably elevated.

I don’t really understand, he made almost $1bil in 7 years, why exactly does he want to short it now and tank it?

>>60829286 (OP)
Good for him, Shiite those cunts into oblivion.

>>60829309
This is classic "If I can't have it, no one can"
He wanted on the board of directors after trying 7 separate times to acquire the company, and still wasn't let on
Now he feels like if he can't make profit through building it up, he can make profit by ruining it

>Now he’s invested shorts into all his stock and is trying to help Cracker Barrel tank to boost his own worth
Is this a opportunity to buy stock and make a profit?

>>60829286 (OP)
Did he force Cracker Barrel to commit suicide? Maybe losing 25% in a day is an accurate reflection of their expected future earnings.

how old will you be? I might sign up at a different barrel.

I'm 32 and worth 1.6M right now and $350k of that is LINK. I'm currently in Indonesia enjoying that brown pussy tho

40’s

>>60830006
Why did you go to Indonesia???

If anyone wants a laugh, go look at the cash Cracker Barrel had each year for the past five years. Executives are draining the piggybank.

So if he's mega rich how doesn't he know that the market hunts for liquidity?
Shorts aren't just "opposite longing"...

>>60829588
Leave it to a Jew to find a way to blame an Iranian for their mess

Cracker Barrel is dead. Steak n Shake has turned around significantly- I swore that place off for years and recently went in to see the hype on Beef Tallow Fries.
Cracker Barrel is dead.

This. He's not boosting his worth, he's boosting his ability to buy more shares and thus gain more control before that lady crashes the company.

>>60830009
This. Its murder.

Steak n shake switch from cooking their fries in tallow. They're just as bad if not worse

P e rsonally I like them better. But they hype and marketing and selling jars of it in store is brilliant. Not genius but briliiant. Genius is the $10k buy-in to franchise you own SnS. They get 50% profits, you get your own store. A McDs buy-in is $1.3-2.2M.

>steak shack
Fuck off you illiterate

>market manipulation

This is simply called competition anon
