The Nasty KIDZ Short Squeeze Play
On May 2, KIDZ posted its first big red day after the surge — but many shorts got burned because they missed the significance of the China theme closing in on the first lock-up expiration. The insiders played their cards perfectly, setting the stage to squeeze shorts while preparing dilution behind the scenes.
What to Watch Next
The lock-up expiration windows between 6 to 12 months are looming — insiders can unload shares, and convertible notes can flood the market.
RedFlag Research predicts another major move soon, especially as critical dates like June 29, 2025 approach.
Final Word: The China Insider Playbook Is Still in Play
KIDZ is the latest chapter in a well-worn playbook: pump the stock with hype, squeeze shorts when they least expect it, then quietly dilute retail investors with convertible notes and equity deals. If you’re holding these names, keep your eyes wide open and be ready for volatility.
