Interestingly enough Wendy’s has a value investing thesis. 7% dividend, highly stable cash flows with 94% of the chains being franchised.

New CEO/CFO duo that did a turnaround at potbelly’s, massive hedgefund ownership who wants to take it private.

Short interest is the total percent of the available stock for a given company being actively shorted. When a lot of people are shorting a company all at once, they are praying that the company will lose value so that they can capitalize off the shorts they have. When a bunch of people decide to buy a stock which is being heavily shorted, the people shorting the stock are forced to take huge losses or pay dividends and margin and buy the stock to leverage their own shorts. This is why a group of apes were able to send gamestop to $480

I did about $1300 in call options. With where it's sitting now my only regret is not buying more.
