Rackspace, Gamestop, AMC, HYMC and others trade eerily similar
Many of us know that 
GME, 
AMC, 
HYMC, 
BB, 
BBBY and others generally trade in a strange near identical parity within a given timeframe.
I was curious as I've recently done some research into Rackspace Technology's (
RXT) current market situation and market history - in particular a common thread that many mysteriously struggling and now defunct companies share - that Apollo Global Management has at some point had a hand in their financial trajectory, usually following the same modus operandi, take a struggling public company private (buying all outstanding shares at the deep discount leaving most long shareholders holding the bag), doing massive gutting and PR, taking the company public again with a relatively high IPO, and mysteriously the company just never seems to succeed but becomes a prime target for heavy short selling (though not directly Apollo, the insiders involved are related in some way to Apollo, Blockbuster, ToysRUs, Sears, Caesars Casinos such as Harrah's, Claire's Jewelry, Linens n Things, to name a few billionaire_boys_club_bbc_ep_16_part_3_the_apollo/) - ... incidentally Apollo leaves some particular people embedded on the board of directors - people who have been involved in the rescue and ultimate dissolution of major corporations.
The theory is that this is all by design, just following a playbook. Here is a very well researched dive into the connection starting with the infamous Mike Milken and his proteges and going into the connections between this group and many high profile corporate failures. billionaire_boys_club_bbc_ep_16_part_6_the_apollo

If you don't believe me, just look at "Independent Directors" Mitchell Alan Garber (incidentally was CEO of Caesars Interactive Entertainment) (and Aquisition Co. https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/RXT/company-people/executive-profile/119504335 and Dhiren R. Fonseca... there are more. These two were directly involved in the purchase and downfall of Caesars Casinos in particular Harrah's entire portfolio.
An example of the scheme Apollo perpetrates is described pretty well in Harrah's wikipedia article starting with its purchase and privatization, next IPO, then some finagling, and finally bankruptcyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrah's_Entertainment#Purchase_of_Caesars_Entertainment,_Inc..
Apollo Global has been busy for the past 15 years with this scheme and it's always explained away or swept under the rug through clever legal/corporate maneuvering. I wanted to raise awareness.. Some people have noticed an uptick:

And the salient point is that it all comes back to an elite circle that includes Apollo, Citadel, and others.
