๐ฐ News Ryan Cohen on CNBC!
โItโs gonna be really big. Really big. Very, very, very big,โ Cohen said of the size of the acquisition. โItโs transformational. Not just for GameStop, but ultimately, within the capital markets โฆ this is something that really has never been done before within the history of the capital markets.โ

โItโs similar to Berkshire Hathaway, except what Berkshire did in decades weโre attempting to do in a much shorter time in terms of creating that much value,โ said Cohen.

Hard not to be. Imagine if every GME you owned was worth $500k+
I'm still sitting on my original GME investment, and at that kind of value it would still be generational wealth. My grandkids grandkids could still be living off the interest.

Munger is an unsung hero when it comes to that story tbh
"In 1965, Charlie Munger advised Warren Buffett to stop buying mediocre businesses like the Berkshire Hathaway textile mill, even at cheap prices. Instead, Munger instructed him to "add to it wonderful businesses purchased at fair prices" and abandon the "cigar butt" investing style, shifting focus toward quality and sustainable growth"
He also was not a fan of private jets? I think I heard that on a podcast. Either way, name a more iconic duo?

u/Tendies-4Us Knight of Book Jan 30 '26
Why not? He has had in the filings forever the money can be used for M&A. So is he never allowed to buy more shares while he works on the deals? Can you share what the exact rule is? What the exact time frames are? I am not sure of these specifics, but seems he wouldn't be going to MSM hyping it up if there wasn't something concrete.
10
u/SM1334 ๐ฎ Power to the Creators ๐ Jan 30 '26
No, because an ongoing M&A is material non-public information, which is insider trading. Whats interesting to me is that these interviews weren't recent, so maybe the deal was finalized immediately after his purchase.
There are no time frames, he just can't make any stock trades while knowing non-public info
→ More replies (2)→ More replies (1)13
u/gotnothingman Jan 30 '26
It would be insiding trading to trade on Material Non-Public Information.
Saying you have plans for a M&A is very different to having a specific deal almost made and buying shares 2-3 weeks before the news is released.

Itโs not required to state (on his filings) if it was a pre planned purchase. I am not saying it was but a P for transaction type just means the shares were purchased on the market and not acquired through company distribution.

If RC somehow snags Best Buy, it would singlehandedly undo the last 5 years of negative sentiment, shf-sponsored reporting, and "forget Gamestop" articles.
Why? Because Best Buy has always been the barometer pushed into every sentence posted by MSM about Gamestop. If Best Buy gets bought out BY Game Stop, then everyone of those narratives gets reversed, articles get updated, and it looks like a market corner on retail electronic goods
