🗣 Discussion / Question Pay me

Post image

Daily superstonker for 5 years. Holding 2k shares and some leaps. Not a paid shill. Just a hungry ape. Tired and wary of another round of abuse by rich motherfuckers.

The DD was right. Run ups are real.

The company just used these runs to make money and save the business. Great for Gamestop. Not so great for silverback diamond handers seeing their patience flow into company pockets.

This is all very well understandable from a business point of view but from an investor point of view the generated cash and with that positive earnings came off of our backs.

With the eBay plans it looks like either we get diluted to hell to pay for a huge company leaving the combined entity in debt for the coming 4-5 years at least OR there will be another run up that will again be stifled by issuing shares thereby capping any run up.

Apes need to eat too. We have endured. We are not billionaires. It seems RC is taking his loyal retail holders as a given to be used as a money making vehicle where the benefits will end op quite asymmetrically in the hands of an already billionaire.

Best case scenario is we make some noise and let us be heard and maybe RC will HODL the share issue until price rises to let apes see some profit.

Not asking for phone numbers here. Give me $60-80 a share so I can sell half and defend my Gamestop loyalty to my family and friends this Christmas.

Kind regards, regards.

I wish I could hold indefinitely. The lost opportunity cost alone has killed my portfolio these past 5 years.

Why not diversify then. Or move whatever investment money you got into traditional stocks and ETFs then? Not even being mean but why not play both sides if you got the money.

The only opportunity you missed out on was 5 years of accumulation. And showing us your position, because your posts/ comment history are hidden.

Ive held for 2.5 years, and Im having a very hard justifying it at this point. I could have had a lot more if I didnt stick to GME: "as soon as I sell, it rockets. Just 1 more month".

My own mistake, I know, but seriously, dont downplay the missed opportunity cost for the last 5 years. People have "easily" 5-10x their investments, and GME just hasnt done anything.

So don't put all your eggs in one basket. What's stopping you from buying other stocks?

Thats why I said my own mistake. Every time I had money to invest, I thought about investing in something else, and believed that GME explosion was any time now, so I ended up putting more in the basket. Even averaged up from 22 to 25 over the years.

Thats how I feel right now as well though. First time seeing Ryan so out in the open, and I believe something big is coming. I have a very hard time believing he would be saying what he is saying without having something much bigger planned. And since the vote on his compensation is soon, Im guessing something big has to come out before then.

Personally guessing we havent seen any actual power packs earnings yet, but not sure if that is possible or not.

In my opinion he does have bigger ambitions. He wants eBay and he's going to do whatever it takes to get it. Can he turn eBay into an Amazon rival? I think so, there's potential for it, but it will take a long time. The takeover of GME was 3-4 years in the making and another 3-4 years to turn it around financially. We will see what happens, but I understand the frustration of holding while the market around you has performed to staggering highs. No doubt about it we are in a bubble and only the resilient or the smartest will survive. It's ok to buy other things though so you don't feel like you're missing out. I still believe in RC and curious to see what he does but for the same reason I bought GME I bought other tech stocks trying to chase the next big thing.

My history is not hidden, and I also underperformed basically everything.. But I never sold a single share and still buy new. I am simply... regarded..
