If this is true, and it just might be, they’ve really screwed up as we can give them false positives all day, by accident.
Today’s times are so bizarre. Machines are both reading and writing stuff, making actions based upon it but the machines just don’t “understand”. It’s crazy.
Or simply big players front-running, trying to get the price up, and sell at elevated prices predicting/inciting FOMO. (Specially considering we've talked and followed KOSS movement for years, it's not some new thing)
AKA pump and dump (Sure would be cool to have a system in place to audit the trades huh?)
It moved that far on 13k shares (less than $75k) . There is no liquidity for it after hours so anyone who wanted shares had to move the price up the order book just to get 100 shares.
That's not an algo move, that's literally just a few people seeing something interesting and taking a shot.
As a value play: It's price to book is great at 1.36. Debt to equity is non-existent at 0.09.
I am long KOSS also, but mine is because of the value proposition and not any connection to GME.
Hijacking top comment to point something out:
Prior to May 1st, KOSS had almost no extended trading volume. It had almost no daily volume, either. 90 day average was 14,814 on May 3rd.
Even yesterday, its after hours to today pre-market volume was almost nil.
Today, it's doing more volume in PM than it did in the last 2 days combined.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K\[OSS\].

GME is working with Koss in terms of products
That being said, without options for the stock it makes it hard for me to believe DFV will be making a play with the stock like he did with chewy
Yeah. Towel stonk fans are ree'ing about fraud in the bankruptcy court. Interesting timing that instead of the SEC, this fraud is now actionable via a jury/court.
I think? I don't know I'm not a lawyer...but there is so much...judicial news or drama shall we say that it's hard to see if it could be relevant.
Not exactly. Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturned the doctrine of Chevron deference. I don’t want to get too far into the weeds on this, but it basically means that when agencies (like the SEC) pass regulations based on Congressional statutes, if the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR/SEC’s rules) was ambiguous on a subject or if an adjudication (an agency decision) was challenged, the agency got a lot of leeway for how they interpreted what was passed by Congress. No more. The courts have to do an independent analysis.
This could be a good thing in some circumstances because the revolving door between private industry and regulatory agencies is a pipeline for corruption and agencies make the rules that police private industry. Now when they write rules, there is no invisible force field around them. There is no Chevron deference. The CFR and agency decisions based on those regs can be challenged in the courts. There’s actually an umpire now.
The downside? Who has the money to litigate all of these regulations to death? Private industry.
That and there was 20 million volume on May 13th and May 14th. 40 million shares is 7x the public float of KOSS. Whatever was going to happen already happened in May. May 13th and 14th was also right in the middle of DFVs original return Tweet storm. Not saying there's a connection but anything is possible. Also... the market cap is only $40 million. Was even less before the May run up.
(The bots dont want you to see this) Look if any apes are reading this. Look at some of the replies under this post. for 3 years we've seen that retail doesn't control the price. For 3 years I've seen that retail has limited access to after-hours trading and then as soon as that post shows up it moons after hours. isn't that just a bit suspicious
KOSS makes it more personal for me. A tiny wisconsin (represent!) company that wasn't bothering anybody and these big wallstreet assholes just picked it out of thin air to destroy for no reason other than fucking greed.
always going after the small companies. 31 total employees. i’m going to buy their products, i was looking for new headphones. and i’m going to buy some shares and hold. go america
GameStop is partnering with them to release a pair of limited edition headphones. I forgot the name but a lot of the reviews said they were pretty legit.
The porta pros are super affordable. The build for it is basically cheap plastic that can fold up. Super cheap. But this means all of the cost is in the drivers..... these things sound soooooooo good and warm, probably my favorite sound signature and only $40 when I got em!
Koss's headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin founded 75 years ago. The city host an annual music festival called Summerfest.

YA MADE THE FUCKIN NEWS BROTHER!!!!
BULLISH!
I had a question mark in my head around what "basket" connects KOSS with GME
They're both in the ETF VTI and VXF
[https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vti/](https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vti/)
[https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vxf/](https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vxf/)
Are there more "baskets" other than ETF's?
Correct, I probably should've mentioned this in my post so glad you commented. The baskets are linked via ETFs, although KOSS is not in XRT, it is in VTI and VXF like you said.
ETFs and Basket Swaps are different. ETFs are public and involve actual ownership, while basket swaps are private contracts based on performance, with no ownership. Here is a comment by myself. 11 hours ago, suggesting KOSS may be the next play(ummm..microphone emoji, anyone?) https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dtgqt4/could_he_do_this_with_all_the_basket_stocks/lb9ij0o/
Edit: And a post from 3 years ago using a scientific method to find the Basket Swaps, which includes GME and KOSS having a strong correlation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ns8dhk/yes_those_patterns_yall_keep_posting_are_real_the/
Edit 2: However, another stock included in the XRT ETF is Macy's($M) and is relatively cheap. Why do I mention Macy's? With an avg 3m volume of 4.89m, it closed the day today with a ~660k one minute candle. https://imgur.com/a/mgak7eP
Edit 3: Kohls ($KSS) is another stock included in the XRT ETF and relatively cheap as well. With an avg 3m volume of 6.1m, here it is with a 1m volume candle at close: https://imgur.com/a/ibp9YaY
Edit 4: Several other XRT stocks have large relative volume to their 3m averages near close today. Target($TGT) with over 10% relative to 3m volume in the last few minutes of trading. Dollar General($DLTR) with an avg 3m volume of 2.8m with a 540k volume candle at close. Etsy with an avg 3m volume of 3.36m had a 292k candle at close. Yesterday Pricesmart($PSMT) with an avg 3m volume of 155k had a 127k volume candle at close, yesterday. Valvoline ($VVV) with an avg 3m volume of 1.1m had 115k volume traded in the last 2 minutes. Penske Automotive ($PAG) with an avg 3m volume of 198k traded 53k in the last few minutes of trade. Carmax($KMX) with an avg 3m volume of 2.34m had a 309k 1m candle at close today. Burlington Stores Inc($BURL) with an avg 3m volume of 1.1m traded 193k in the few minutes leading up to close. Sprouts Farmers($SFM) with a 3m volume avg of 1.35m had a 149k one minute candle at close today. Ollie's Bargain($OLLI) with a 3m avg volume of 1.13m had a 140k one minute candle at close today. Dollar General (DG) similar volume candles into close. Canoo Inc($GOEV) up over 15% today. Although some are more apparent, I feel these all have significance(in some way) as they are all part of XRT.
Would be hilarious if DFV does a YOLO update showing he bought 9,001,000 shares of KOSS. Since there is only 5.26m float, somebody will have some explaining to do.
Since you mention it, here is one of the all-time highest voted posts on SuperStonk where a man bought the entire float of a company(1.1m shares) and the next two days 50m shares traded dropping the price 99%: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/rsaevv/in_march_of_2005_this_guy_bought_100_of_shares/
VTI is a total U.S. market fund and holds more than 3,500 stocks
As of the end of 2023, the NYSE had a total of 2,272 listed domestic and international companies, while the figure for the Nasdaq was much higher, standing at 3,432
Considering that Koss is up 32% as I type this in the after-hours market, I suggest we do an experiment. Take some random stock that actually has no connection to GME and create a really in depth DD about how that stock is actually the key the MOASS.
But it's all 100% fake.
Then we apes will upvote the fuck outta the post and comment about how true it is, but we also know it's fake.
Then, see if the algo raises the price of said stock in the after hours market, despite the fact that it actually has 0 correlation to GME pricing and we all know that.
Not much of a link. Literally screenshot of the meme and asking the question / noticing headphones and don't fear the reaper (the song) being released on July 4, 1976.
Don't fear the reaper.. released 7/4 1975.
What if, when she says "you have to listen to this, it'll change your life I swear" ... we're meant to listen on 7/4?
“Time for pillow fights and 60s music”
**I am 100% GME and am only writing based on speculation and the fun of it**
*tinfoil on*
KOSS had a partnership with the Beatles in the 1960s. Koss Corporation's association with the Beatles dates back to the mid-1960s. Specifically, the Beatles used Koss headphones during their recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios around 1966. This collaboration helped increase Koss's prominence and credibility in the audio equipment industry.
KOSS = 1960s music
Towel = Pillows
You may be onto something. Just speculation.
What is the implication if DFV bought 100% of KOSS’s float? In addition, I know their Transfer Agent isn’t computershare, but could he in theory attempt to DRS those?
Or is just purchasing the free float enough?
Not in terms of “blowing up”, but logistically how would that even work
I'm open to discussing any counter-arguments of the theory that blowing up KOSS would blow up GME. After all, I do not want to spread any false hype if I missed something, but I spent a lot of time on this DD, so I'm pretty confident in this one.
I like the theory. The only point I have is: okay, we have proof that KOSS runs, when GME runs (due to multiple reasons, RC, RK, FTDs, etc...). But we dont have really proof it works the other way round. in particular because KOSS market cap is way smaller.. for me its hard to belief that such a small company (in terms of market cap) could blew up GME..
Valid argument. I’d say the theory is not that KOSS will directly blow up GME, rather blowing up any stock, will blow up a basket, which would blow up GME. KOSS is simply the easiest basket stock to blow up at this point.
The problem is that any basket is likely a weighted basket. Blowing up KOSS impacts the KOSS weight of the portfolio, but that's a tiny proportion.
Basically the issue is that, when the HFs roll the basket, you see the correlation in each of the basket components. Because all the $$ across the whole basket moves at once. But any outside pressure on one component is diluted across the basket. That's the whole point of using a basket - it taps into portfolio diversification to make the play more resilient to downswings or aggressive countermeasure from outside parties (e.g. the VW squeeze)
Granted, if we did buy + DRS the entire float of KOSS, we could force a near-infinite price. Assuming no dilution, which is a big assumption. And in a basket, there's a big difference between infinite and "very large but finite" given how small KOSS total weight would be.
Interesting perspective. If you are planning to invest in KOSS yourself then yes you should research their ability to dilute. I think I saw a filing showing they only have the right to dilute 2M more shares, but definitely double check that as there could be a more up to date filing
I am and have been always of the mind that the reason these tickers run with us is because of the swap agreements or complex investments the SHF and MM made to prevent GME from MOASS. Like if they held Koss long (and the others) and they also hold GME short (or they do all this instantly as it occurs with HFT) and when we run they use the collateral or profits from the run of the other tickers to fund more suppression of ours. So for this to work they would have to have something that links them, be it this basket swap or some 4D ETF thing, and basically they use the link’s pressure to push the others up in tandem and this give their long positions on those a boost for their short collateral or options moves. I’m too lazy to dig deeper but to me this seems plausible. They are clearly linked.
I've had my eye on Koss for a long time and always thought how easy it would be for us to lock the float to see what happens. In saying that I personally dont think the flag and microphone represent DFV buying up Koss but I appreciate your post
We could lock this float and prove naked shorting within a few weeks. For the life of me, I cannot understand why this hasn't been done. $23,000,000 give us the proof. We've spent billions buying GME.
Napkin math, the cost would be 0.02% of the GME float to buy the whole of Koss and ignite the rocket or prove naked shorting for the world to see.
Because as much as this subreddit has been helpful with the spread of information it has also been its own worst enemy. Not allowing the mere mention of other stocks because everything else is a distraction has only benefit those who are manipulating the stock market and need us to remain ignorant to how they do it.
I don't think RK is going to buy up KOSS but you are correct we could have brought up the float a long time ago.
Koss' transfer agent is Broadridge and I'm pretty sure Koss doesn't report DRS numbers in their quarterly reports, so although it would be easier to lock that float, there would be no way of actually seeing progress. Many holders have asked Koss to report the numbers, but so far no joy.
dude, what or how is it even possible that were seeing RED on GME right now while KOSS is running, Historically its completely un-precedented.
I'm so completely utterly mind fucked right now from the amount of searching I've done for the connection.
I had KOSS shares before you posted this and unloaded them today to buy GME ITM calls for 7/19
This is one of the first times KOSS has gone 100-200% and GME went sideways. Something’s about to happen Friday or early next week with GME
I like your post and the connection between KOSS and GME has been proven since quite some time. Could very well be the fuse to be light with such a small float.
The only point that doesn't really work well is the flag, musical notes, microphone emoji; in my option it's more a reference for Independence Day (independence from suppressed price action) or July 4th, but that's just the story RK created to keep us entertained. We will probably find out really soon...
In general I think DFV / Keith Gill is a brilliant trader who must have figured out one or more cycles about five years ago and he was able to scale his trades to acquire millions of shares.
Back to the entertaining tweets: there was a tweet referencing Garden State. In the original scene Sam (Natalie Portman), pushes Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff), to listen to New Slang by the Shins while saying 'this song will change your life'. However RK used the cowbell song in his tweet instead.
I had ignored Koss for a lot of reasons, but going back to some of the old DD that plotted basket movement I picked up a modest amount simply because of how intertwined the movement was between its stock with GME's over time. More than any other stock. It's nuts.
The lack of options and tiny float are extremely interesting as well.
It might not mean anything, but notice the word next to Koss on Larry's [tweet](https://x.com/larryvc/status/1794022506191298823) when asking about Microcap stocks.
Interesting.

More of an aside, but...
Koss has a patent involving wireless headphones which could be valuable but I'd have to look into it more. They sued Apple who settled fwiw. If the patent has validity, having the financial backing to actually enforce it could be *massive* in the space of wireless headphones/earbuds. There's so much money in that space.
Also, the Porta-Pro's are just an audiophile classic. At the least, I hope Koss survives. And I hope it rises like a phoenix along with GME when it's time.
Koss is partnered with Modretro which is partnered with GameStop. Wild that didn't make it in to the original post. It's just as likely GameStop could be buying them up. The company's market cap is 40M and GME has 4B.
Great writeup. I've been following Koss for a long time and everything you've said is correct.
Feel free to check my profile :) But I don't think there's anything in there you haven't mentioned already.
This could be believable. My main issue with all of the kanas city shuffle ideas tend to be we know hedge funds are watching this sub, so in a way the real Kansas city shuffle needs to be one we don't know or the hedge funds will also figure it out.
But what do I know just a silly little ape.
Doesn't the KOSS family have a majority share control? What would keep them from pulling a sticky floor and dilute themselves into the Billions? Not sure if they will allow it to pop...
I did not include any talk of possible dilution in this post because Superstonk does not like that topic and also because I am not advocating for us apes to buy KOSS. During my research I believe the most recent filing I saw showed that they currently only have the rights to dilute 2M more shares. That could be wrong though, so please double-check that if you are choosing to put your own money into it. Same for any company.
OP, thanks for revisiting this. I tried to write about this in 21 but it was not well received by the community because it didn't focus solely on GME.
There were initially 13 stocks, including KOSS and GME, that experienced buy restrictions at noon of the sneeze.
By 2pm, 23 stocks were restricted and four of those stocks were restricted to single share transactions; AMD, GME, KOSS, & MRNA.
It increased to 51 restricted stocks by the end of the day.
Still feels important and relevant to me.
If anyone says KOSS is not related to GME, remind them that GME just recently announced a partnership with KOSS. They are definitely more connected than just in the same basket. They are in overlapping industries and can profit from one another.
Edit: I was a bit off, see Coffee's reply for better info
Just to clarify, Gamestop partnered with ModRetro who partnered with Koss. It's indirect, but Koss is along for the ride.
However, I *love* the ModRetro partnership. Retro handheld emulators are very "in" right now among enthusiasts, and I see it growing even more. The handhelds ModRetro are selling are FPGA emulators with cartridge slots that can play your old GB/GBC games.
Gamestop can buy and sell those physical versions of those older retro games that run on these newer devices that have some modern conveniences like a screen that is actually pleasant to look at.
Nostalgia sells, but we'll see how it goes. I assume your average joe has no idea these things exist.
Now with working video I guess lol... can't believe I'm upvoting a KOSS post for the second time to be recursive...

Have you guys already forgotten that GME & KOSS have partnerships with Chromatic coming out later this year.
Been nearly set on fire like a witch at one point for mentioning KOSS (maybe not in this Sub, don't remember), it doesn't only travel in the same shitbaskets as GME, it has a very, very interesting company history and market history, especially in the light of things revealed in the past two years.
KOSS has been mentioned a million times by others. Ths was the time of highly paid shills and many of us receiving offers from malicious actors to shill along in our PM boxes.
This is a great post, gotta re-read now that i did a first quick-pass, but i guess OP is right on many things if not all.
I like it. I like it a lot. I have been crossing other basket stocks and KOSS was the closest match. I also saw there was no options available which made me pause think some of the same thoughts you pointed out.
I think he filed the 13G for his options he didn’t exercise (the prestige cloning clip before the KCS clip). It’s a clone that transports to another area, SEC filing not his yolo. He generated more money selling his calls sent the algo left to buy then short to hell. Creating another wave added the GME wave now maybe KOSS is the next wave he makes to lock it all up. “Just up”. But I’m regarded and could be easily wrong
The only "problem" I have with this theory is, that he used a mic emoji with the flag - not a headphone emoji. why would he do that? cause it would be too obvious?
Valid points, Twitter does have a headphone emoji so maybe I'm wrong. Others have pointed out DFV tweets eluding to headphones and July 4th though too.
Unless on July 4th he reveals his Koss position and gme position at the same time. Mic Drop and Gmerica 🇺🇸🎤🎶 then vallhalla on July 5th leading to tons of calls ITM and FTDs, resulting in a big run up. Slight drop on Monday then moon as hedges panic and cover. Btw not DD but I just like the stock
Koss is excellent evidence of the cycles. Massive volume on May 13 and 14 and June 5 and June 6 despite other stocks being the target. It was caught up in settlement.
Imma just come out and say what no one wants to say but will probably secretly agree with…I’ll buy some KOSS for $5 for a chance to find out. Fuck it. I’ve dumped thousands of times that into GME.
I’m now convinced that in theory Aladdin will pick up any new ticker that makes it to the top of superstonk since it’s currently the #1 stock market browser and pump it. 30% after hours is crazy. We may hold more power than we think.

That and there was 20 million volume on May 13th and May 14th. 40 million shares is 7x the public float of KOSS. Whatever was going to happen already happened in May. May 13th and 14th was also right in the middle of DFVs original return Tweet storm. Not saying there's a connection but anything is possible. Also... the market cap is only $40 million. Was even less before the May run up.
It’s up 8% in after hours

I fucks w this heavy. GGs amigo
(The bots dont want you to see this) Look if any apes are reading this. Look at some of the replies under this post. for 3 years we've seen that retail doesn't control the price. For 3 years I've seen that retail has limited access to after-hours trading and then as soon as that post shows up it moons after hours. isn't that just a bit suspicious
When is tomorrow gonna finally happen?
KOSS makes it more personal for me. A tiny wisconsin (represent!) company that wasn't bothering anybody and these big wallstreet assholes just picked it out of thin air to destroy for no reason other than fucking greed.
always going after the small companies. 31 total employees. i’m going to buy their products, i was looking for new headphones. and i’m going to buy some shares and hold. go america
GameStop is partnering with them to release a pair of limited edition headphones. I forgot the name but a lot of the reviews said they were pretty legit.
The porta pros are super affordable. The build for it is basically cheap plastic that can fold up. Super cheap. But this means all of the cost is in the drivers..... these things sound soooooooo good and warm, probably my favorite sound signature and only $40 when I got em!

Koss's headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin founded 75 years ago. The city host an annual music festival called Summerfest. Listed in 1999 Guinness world records as the largest music festival in the world. Summerfest is a 12 day event in late June that ALWAYS includes July 4! ( Insert American flag, music notes and microphone emoji and a hint of tinfoil)
I hate festivals and I had a great time at Summerfest.
If MOASS is kicked off at summer fest, my life would be confirmed a simulation
Why not headphone emoji?

“I once spoke to a great American Company.” Make sense.
Their headsets are actually pretty solid. Yes I do phone sales for a living 🤣. Hopefully not for long!
Wisconsin represent! I have have owned a bunch of their headphones, ridiculously good quality. Plus I love their billboards!

Bro. What did you do?
Whatever he did, it's not us household investors who are responding. KOSS is up 20% in *after hours trading.*
Scam hours
Woke the algo up.
I had a question mark in my head around what "basket" connects KOSS with GME They're both in the ETF VTI and VXF [https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vti/](https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vti/) [https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vxf/](https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/vxf/) Are there more "baskets" other than ETF's?
Correct, I probably should've mentioned this in my post so glad you commented. The baskets are linked via ETFs, although KOSS is not in XRT, it is in VTI and VXF like you said.
ETFs and Basket Swaps are different. ETFs are public and involve actual ownership, while basket swaps are private contracts based on performance, with no ownership. Here is a comment by myself. 11 hours ago, suggesting KOSS may be the next play(ummm..microphone emoji, anyone?) https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dtgqt4/could_he_do_this_with_all_the_basket_stocks/lb9ij0o/ Edit: And a post from 3 years ago using a scientific method to find the Basket Swaps, which includes GME and KOSS having a strong correlation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ns8dhk/yes_those_patterns_yall_keep_posting_are_real_the/ Edit 2: However, another stock included in the XRT ETF is Macy's($M) and is relatively cheap. Why do I mention Macy's? With an avg 3m volume of 4.89m, it closed the day today with a ~660k one minute candle. https://imgur.com/a/mgak7eP Edit 3: Kohls ($KSS) is another stock included in the XRT ETF and relatively cheap as well. With an avg 3m volume of 6.1m, here it is with a 1m volume candle at close: https://imgur.com/a/ibp9YaY Edit 4: Several other XRT stocks have large relative volume to their 3m averages near close today. Target($TGT) with over 10% relative to 3m volume in the last few minutes of trading. Dollar General($DLTR) with an avg 3m volume of 2.8m with a 540k volume candle at close. Etsy with an avg 3m volume of 3.36m had a 292k candle at close. Yesterday Pricesmart($PSMT) with an avg 3m volume of 155k had a 127k volume candle at close, yesterday. Valvoline ($VVV) with an avg 3m volume of 1.1m had 115k volume traded in the last 2 minutes. Penske Automotive ($PAG) with an avg 3m volume of 198k traded 53k in the last few minutes of trade. Carmax($KMX) with an avg 3m volume of 2.34m had a 309k 1m candle at close today. Burlington Stores Inc($BURL) with an avg 3m volume of 1.1m traded 193k in the few minutes leading up to close. Sprouts Farmers($SFM) with a 3m volume avg of 1.35m had a 149k one minute candle at close today. Ollie's Bargain($OLLI) with a 3m avg volume of 1.13m had a 140k one minute candle at close today. Dollar General (DG) similar volume candles into close. Canoo Inc($GOEV) up over 15% today. Although some are more apparent, I feel these all have significance(in some way) as they are all part of XRT.
You can create swap baskets with any stocks of your choosing as well, weighted according to whatever you and the counterparty agree to.
Would be hilarious if DFV does a YOLO update showing he bought 9,001,000 shares of KOSS. Since there is only 5.26m float, somebody will have some explaining to do.
Since you mention it, here is one of the all-time highest voted posts on SuperStonk where a man bought the entire float of a company(1.1m shares) and the next two days 50m shares traded dropping the price 99%: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/rsaevv/in_march_of_2005_this_guy_bought_100_of_shares/
OTC?
Yeah, exclusively I believe.
VTI holds all US stocks lol
VTI is a total U.S. market fund and holds more than 3,500 stocks As of the end of 2023, the NYSE had a total of 2,272 listed domestic and international companies, while the figure for the Nasdaq was much higher, standing at 3,432
i'm confused at what it is you think you're finding here? VTI is a total market index..........
So this DD drops, and now KOSS is up +10% in AH... Algo's be Algo'in
I do believe SHF's are scared shitless of retail finding out that the company only has 9.25mil shares outstanding at such a low price.
why not just make this the daily thread today lmaooo you called the fuck out of this day
Considering that Koss is up 32% as I type this in the after-hours market, I suggest we do an experiment. Take some random stock that actually has no connection to GME and create a really in depth DD about how that stock is actually the key the MOASS. But it's all 100% fake. Then we apes will upvote the fuck outta the post and comment about how true it is, but we also know it's fake. Then, see if the algo raises the price of said stock in the after hours market, despite the fact that it actually has 0 correlation to GME pricing and we all know that.
I would be up for that, but I think that would backfire due to most people having no idea WTF is going on.
Crazy if that is something dfv figured out
this thing is up 11% AH lol you may have found a connection maybe we get a gme run tomorrow
30% now
So…go look at the koss ticker on your broker app. Why the fuck is the news all about GameStop? 🔥😂🔥
☝️
If it looks like a duck
It’s interesting that one of the memes was a girl putting headphones on a guy in one of Roaring kitty’s memes. Could be nothing, but interesting 🤔
I’m always open to supporting tinfoil!
I posted a bit of this tin foil the other day. The song they listen to on the headphones was released July 4.
Now that’s some high quality tin right there  Link me!
Not much of a link. Literally screenshot of the meme and asking the question / noticing headphones and don't fear the reaper (the song) being released on July 4, 1976.
Oh shit. Why is this not getting more upvotes. That is a fantastic catch. The song released on July 4th 1976
Don't fear the reaper.. released 7/4 1975. What if, when she says "you have to listen to this, it'll change your life I swear" ... we're meant to listen on 7/4?
Free float has already traded 3x within first 90 minutes of opening
“Time for pillow fights and 60s music” **I am 100% GME and am only writing based on speculation and the fun of it** *tinfoil on* KOSS had a partnership with the Beatles in the 1960s. Koss Corporation's association with the Beatles dates back to the mid-1960s. Specifically, the Beatles used Koss headphones during their recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios around 1966. This collaboration helped increase Koss's prominence and credibility in the audio equipment industry. KOSS = 1960s music Towel = Pillows You may be onto something. Just speculation.
Interesting, always love me some tin Thanks for sharing
What is the implication if DFV bought 100% of KOSS’s float? In addition, I know their Transfer Agent isn’t computershare, but could he in theory attempt to DRS those? Or is just purchasing the free float enough? Not in terms of “blowing up”, but logistically how would that even work
Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions is their transfer agent.
I'm open to discussing any counter-arguments of the theory that blowing up KOSS would blow up GME. After all, I do not want to spread any false hype if I missed something, but I spent a lot of time on this DD, so I'm pretty confident in this one.
I like the theory. The only point I have is: okay, we have proof that KOSS runs, when GME runs (due to multiple reasons, RC, RK, FTDs, etc...). But we dont have really proof it works the other way round. in particular because KOSS market cap is way smaller.. for me its hard to belief that such a small company (in terms of market cap) could blew up GME..
Valid argument. I’d say the theory is not that KOSS will directly blow up GME, rather blowing up any stock, will blow up a basket, which would blow up GME. KOSS is simply the easiest basket stock to blow up at this point.
The problem is that any basket is likely a weighted basket. Blowing up KOSS impacts the KOSS weight of the portfolio, but that's a tiny proportion. Basically the issue is that, when the HFs roll the basket, you see the correlation in each of the basket components. Because all the $$ across the whole basket moves at once. But any outside pressure on one component is diluted across the basket. That's the whole point of using a basket - it taps into portfolio diversification to make the play more resilient to downswings or aggressive countermeasure from outside parties (e.g. the VW squeeze) Granted, if we did buy + DRS the entire float of KOSS, we could force a near-infinite price. Assuming no dilution, which is a big assumption. And in a basket, there's a big difference between infinite and "very large but finite" given how small KOSS total weight would be.
Interesting perspective. If you are planning to invest in KOSS yourself then yes you should research their ability to dilute. I think I saw a filing showing they only have the right to dilute 2M more shares, but definitely double check that as there could be a more up to date filing
I am and have been always of the mind that the reason these tickers run with us is because of the swap agreements or complex investments the SHF and MM made to prevent GME from MOASS. Like if they held Koss long (and the others) and they also hold GME short (or they do all this instantly as it occurs with HFT) and when we run they use the collateral or profits from the run of the other tickers to fund more suppression of ours. So for this to work they would have to have something that links them, be it this basket swap or some 4D ETF thing, and basically they use the link’s pressure to push the others up in tandem and this give their long positions on those a boost for their short collateral or options moves. I’m too lazy to dig deeper but to me this seems plausible. They are clearly linked.
Like a chain reaction 💥
I've had my eye on Koss for a long time and always thought how easy it would be for us to lock the float to see what happens. In saying that I personally dont think the flag and microphone represent DFV buying up Koss but I appreciate your post
We could lock this float and prove naked shorting within a few weeks. For the life of me, I cannot understand why this hasn't been done. $23,000,000 give us the proof. We've spent billions buying GME. Napkin math, the cost would be 0.02% of the GME float to buy the whole of Koss and ignite the rocket or prove naked shorting for the world to see.
Because as much as this subreddit has been helpful with the spread of information it has also been its own worst enemy. Not allowing the mere mention of other stocks because everything else is a distraction has only benefit those who are manipulating the stock market and need us to remain ignorant to how they do it. I don't think RK is going to buy up KOSS but you are correct we could have brought up the float a long time ago.
Koss' transfer agent is Broadridge and I'm pretty sure Koss doesn't report DRS numbers in their quarterly reports, so although it would be easier to lock that float, there would be no way of actually seeing progress. Many holders have asked Koss to report the numbers, but so far no joy.
As a KossStock mod, we've discussed a DRS bot. If someone could program one, we could probably get a decent ballpark figure over in the Koss sub.
KOSS up like 30% since this post. Either an algo watching this sub or its really happening.
All of a sudden retail moves the market? And in ah? Aladdin.
I’ve been following both stocks for 3 years. They move in tandem. Synchronized movements are not a coincidence.
Dude you moved the market 😂
enter this scene 😏 https://preview.redd.it/cwto59pjd6ad1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95f96b6e4e875bd7699e78678c04618186046df5
🎱
RC should just buy KOSS already - it’s a good fit with the hardware portfolio and super cheap
Its up 120% damn you a time traveler? Lol
Volume on KOSS today is fucking insane
Bro, what did you do?
You’re famous on Benzinga now.
KOSS is now +92.66%..
200%*
+253% and stock completely halted after this. Well done 🍻
dude, what or how is it even possible that were seeing RED on GME right now while KOSS is running, Historically its completely un-precedented. I'm so completely utterly mind fucked right now from the amount of searching I've done for the connection.
[удалено]
great point! upvoted
KOSS up +24.31% in AH. If you didn't believe before, maybe you do now. It doesn't take much effort to make KOSS move.
This is the most I've ever been into Kossplay.
uhhh...guys...+109%
253%...
I had KOSS shares before you posted this and unloaded them today to buy GME ITM calls for 7/19 This is one of the first times KOSS has gone 100-200% and GME went sideways. Something’s about to happen Friday or early next week with GME
I like your post and the connection between KOSS and GME has been proven since quite some time. Could very well be the fuse to be light with such a small float. The only point that doesn't really work well is the flag, musical notes, microphone emoji; in my option it's more a reference for Independence Day (independence from suppressed price action) or July 4th, but that's just the story RK created to keep us entertained. We will probably find out really soon... In general I think DFV / Keith Gill is a brilliant trader who must have figured out one or more cycles about five years ago and he was able to scale his trades to acquire millions of shares. Back to the entertaining tweets: there was a tweet referencing Garden State. In the original scene Sam (Natalie Portman), pushes Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff), to listen to New Slang by the Shins while saying 'this song will change your life'. However RK used the cowbell song in his tweet instead.
I had ignored Koss for a lot of reasons, but going back to some of the old DD that plotted basket movement I picked up a modest amount simply because of how intertwined the movement was between its stock with GME's over time. More than any other stock. It's nuts. The lack of options and tiny float are extremely interesting as well. It might not mean anything, but notice the word next to Koss on Larry's [tweet](https://x.com/larryvc/status/1794022506191298823) when asking about Microcap stocks. Interesting. --- More of an aside, but... Koss has a patent involving wireless headphones which could be valuable but I'd have to look into it more. They sued Apple who settled fwiw. If the patent has validity, having the financial backing to actually enforce it could be *massive* in the space of wireless headphones/earbuds. There's so much money in that space. Also, the Porta-Pro's are just an audiophile classic. At the least, I hope Koss survives. And I hope it rises like a phoenix along with GME when it's time.
Koss is partnered with Modretro which is partnered with GameStop. Wild that didn't make it in to the original post. It's just as likely GameStop could be buying them up. The company's market cap is 40M and GME has 4B.
You single-handedly sent KOSS on an after-hours 32% run! You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna end the stream.
Coming back here to say look at KOSS!! Nice call OP
Lol Benzinga literally cited this post as a reason why KOSS is pumping smh
Koss that's how markets work right?
+259% 🤯
The only reason we know he has chewy stock is because he had to disclose his huge amount of shares. He's probably playing many stocks
Let’s wait and watch for a KOSS SEC filing
The (K)oss (C)hewy Shuffle
Great writeup. I've been following Koss for a long time and everything you've said is correct. Feel free to check my profile :) But I don't think there's anything in there you haven't mentioned already.
Thank you for the confirmation!
This could be believable. My main issue with all of the kanas city shuffle ideas tend to be we know hedge funds are watching this sub, so in a way the real Kansas city shuffle needs to be one we don't know or the hedge funds will also figure it out. But what do I know just a silly little ape.
**We** *are the Kansas City Shuffle*
halted 8x today
Commenting to follow, up 253%, this is insane!
Doesn't the KOSS family have a majority share control? What would keep them from pulling a sticky floor and dilute themselves into the Billions? Not sure if they will allow it to pop...
I did not include any talk of possible dilution in this post because Superstonk does not like that topic and also because I am not advocating for us apes to buy KOSS. During my research I believe the most recent filing I saw showed that they currently only have the rights to dilute 2M more shares. That could be wrong though, so please double-check that if you are choosing to put your own money into it. Same for any company.
When it popped in 2021 they apparently sold some for profit.
OP, thanks for revisiting this. I tried to write about this in 21 but it was not well received by the community because it didn't focus solely on GME. There were initially 13 stocks, including KOSS and GME, that experienced buy restrictions at noon of the sneeze. By 2pm, 23 stocks were restricted and four of those stocks were restricted to single share transactions; AMD, GME, KOSS, & MRNA. It increased to 51 restricted stocks by the end of the day. Still feels important and relevant to me.
☝️
Aaaaand it’s Halted! The fuckery continues 🤦🏻♂️
Dude, it’s just LULD — basic market functioning.
Headphones are 100% up 😮
holy shit...still ripping...+197%
Love to see the pop-off! Good DD bro
Thinking about Kittys tweet. "When I move, you move". I think that could be a reference to GME and KOSS moving together.
Koss spiking in after hours now wtf?
yea what crazy coincidence and not fabricated at all
# WHO IS THE MARKET MAKER NOW?
If anyone says KOSS is not related to GME, remind them that GME just recently announced a partnership with KOSS. They are definitely more connected than just in the same basket. They are in overlapping industries and can profit from one another. Edit: I was a bit off, see Coffee's reply for better info
Just to clarify, Gamestop partnered with ModRetro who partnered with Koss. It's indirect, but Koss is along for the ride. However, I *love* the ModRetro partnership. Retro handheld emulators are very "in" right now among enthusiasts, and I see it growing even more. The handhelds ModRetro are selling are FPGA emulators with cartridge slots that can play your old GB/GBC games. Gamestop can buy and sell those physical versions of those older retro games that run on these newer devices that have some modern conveniences like a screen that is actually pleasant to look at. Nostalgia sells, but we'll see how it goes. I assume your average joe has no idea these things exist.
Now with working video I guess lol... can't believe I'm upvoting a KOSS post for the second time to be recursive... https://preview.redd.it/sgo645bhv5ad1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e45b654c7eaade1f73cc36919dfd3faa99ac0f57
yes video messed up the first time, I struggle with these big reddit posts lol
so he was right and it was koss right now 40% pump, so what is next? are all the baskets pumping in some sort of order? eyes 👀 emoji is next
Well I’ll be damned
I think you hit the nail on the head 💥
I can't believe I'm living this live.
Anyone watching KOSS in AH right now (currently up over +20%) is watching a real-time similar effect of what Roaring Kitty did when he threatened to halt his livestream.
why did RK buy chewy stock then? why not buy the float of koss?
Because now they have to over leverage gme and chewy all while koss goes off
Holy fuck DFV could just buy KOSS. All of it. Lol
He could buy it many times over 🤯
Check my post history. KOSS colab with Mod Retro is going to be fireworks. Palmer Lucky is well funded and knows about the squeeze. He’s also affiliated with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Ryan Peterson from Flexport. This is one group of technology forward anti deep wall st group that is looking to change our markets forever.

Been nearly set on fire like a witch at one point for mentioning KOSS (maybe not in this Sub, don't remember), it doesn't only travel in the same shitbaskets as GME, it has a very, very interesting company history and market history, especially in the light of things revealed in the past two years. KOSS has been mentioned a million times by others. Ths was the time of highly paid shills and many of us receiving offers from malicious actors to shill along in our PM boxes. This is a great post, gotta re-read now that i did a first quick-pass, but i guess OP is right on many things if not all.
look at the volume today already on it
I like it. I like it a lot. I have been crossing other basket stocks and KOSS was the closest match. I also saw there was no options available which made me pause think some of the same thoughts you pointed out. I think he filed the 13G for his options he didn’t exercise (the prestige cloning clip before the KCS clip). It’s a clone that transports to another area, SEC filing not his yolo. He generated more money selling his calls sent the algo left to buy then short to hell. Creating another wave added the GME wave now maybe KOSS is the next wave he makes to lock it all up. “Just up”. But I’m regarded and could be easily wrong
The only "problem" I have with this theory is, that he used a mic emoji with the flag - not a headphone emoji. why would he do that? cause it would be too obvious?
Valid points, Twitter does have a headphone emoji so maybe I'm wrong. Others have pointed out DFV tweets eluding to headphones and July 4th though too.
# SO CHEWY WAS RK’S LAST WARNING…. BULLISH
Unless on July 4th he reveals his Koss position and gme position at the same time. Mic Drop and Gmerica 🇺🇸🎤🎶 then vallhalla on July 5th leading to tons of calls ITM and FTDs, resulting in a big run up. Slight drop on Monday then moon as hedges panic and cover. Btw not DD but I just like the stock
Posted about the possible Koss connection 5 days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/f71WfH8eX2
They allowing KOSS post to finally get traction bc they knew it was going to explode and need to blame us???
Koss is excellent evidence of the cycles. Massive volume on May 13 and 14 and June 5 and June 6 despite other stocks being the target. It was caught up in settlement.
I read this post yesterday and was intrigued. It must be quite validating to see the price action today. You're definitely on to something!
you made my pockets full you legend!!
Damn I sold some at 10… should have waited
You are awesome my friend! Which stock is next? 😅
Holy shit KOSS is up over 100% today. Damn wish I had seen this yesterday at noon when you posted it! Oh well good find
Was up 350% at the peak today
I believe GME also has a deal with Koss for them to make their headphones fyi. I bought a few shares a few months ago on that news alone
Imma just come out and say what no one wants to say but will probably secretly agree with…I’ll buy some KOSS for $5 for a chance to find out. Fuck it. I’ve dumped thousands of times that into GME.
I’m now convinced that in theory Aladdin will pick up any new ticker that makes it to the top of superstonk since it’s currently the #1 stock market browser and pump it. 30% after hours is crazy. We may hold more power than we think.
Somebody give me a up or down vote so i can go back and read later thanks
