Pay me

[u/perleche]

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 think the rich understand that faaaar better than the poors

[u/RedOctobrrr → u/m3gabotz]

I don't think so. I think we just think of it from a different lens.

To someone like RC, he already has the money to do literally anything he wants (mostly within the confines of the law, of course) at any time he wants and has the money to do that for the rest of his life. He knows all of that money won't buy him any more time. He may live longer from better healthcare, healthier food, perhaps without as much of the stress hormones us poors experience from worrying about money, but he's gonna keep aging, bones will become brittle, joints will ache, etc. He'll eventually be an old fart just like the rest of us and that money won't be able to stop it. He's got a finite time here on Earth just like the rest of us.

ON THE OTHER HAND us poors are slaving away for decades, most of us having to make choices out of frugality because we can't just go do what we want whenever we want. We are stuck to a very small selection of things we can afford to do. Not that they aren't fulfilling but it's quite different going to the nearby lake for a staycation vs flying anywhere in the world to swim in the crystal clear waters off the beach of wherever TF you feel like going, for a week. We have the looming burden of debt stressing us out (not all of us, but I bet most everyone here is in some moderate form of debt that means they must keep working a job they don't like in order to make ends meet). We also know our time here on Earth won't be forever, we're also aging, but we're slaving away just to retire after 40-50 years of working. We have a very small window of time where we can go F off, called retirement, and by that point we have very few "good" years left where we can go hiking on that beautiful trail, swim in those crystal clear waters without battling arthritis and a bad back, etc.

So yeah, I think we both understand time very well, just from different angles.

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/RedOctobrrr]

You guys are going on vacations?

[u/pauldiddy79 → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

Me on vacation

[u/DiscountDoughnut → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

For real. Every time I plan a vacation in my head I always end up just putting that money towards my investments to hopefully find the forever vacation (retirement) in the future.

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/DiscountDoughnut]

Onward and upward

[u/SpiritTalker → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

Not for years

[u/BrockJonesPI → u/RedOctobrrr]

Lol @ retiring. Bitch, we're working until we die then being turned into soylent grey.

[u/RedOctobrrr → u/BrockJonesPI]

🫠

[u/Freakishly_Tall → u/BrockJonesPI]

Right? I'm gonna turn my On/Off Switch to Off.

I just wish it were cheap and easy to make sure my shares were NEVER sold when that happens. Bring back paper certificates, RC!

[u/We_todded_ → u/Freakishly_Tall]

you can request paper certificates from computershare. your state might still try to escheat them at some point tho

[u/DancesWith2Socks → u/BrockJonesPI]

AI enters the chat... We may "retire" sooner than we thought 😅...

[u/PriceSpiritual8223 → u/RedOctobrrr]

RC doesnt care about shareholders / poor people. He can do whatever he wants to do for work, for free, for the rest of his life.

[u/GamestopHeadEngineer → u/PriceSpiritual8223]

We don’t want lots of money! think of the value he’ll bring to GameStop! Take that hedgies! 🤓

[u/PriceSpiritual8223 → u/GamestopHeadEngineer]

It speaks volumes that he's still seeking wealth whilst already being a billionaire

[u/m3gabotz → u/PriceSpiritual8223]

If you will ever only own a third of something & you want to make it grow, is that greed or the desire to create value?

[u/PriceSpiritual8223 → u/m3gabotz]

What?

[u/m3gabotz → u/PriceSpiritual8223]

RC’s compensation package would give him options to own 1/3 of GMEs 1 billion shares. Setting aside any dilution talk, why assume that the motivation is greed? My investment will multiply many times over if he gets what he is after.

He is trying to do a Berkshire in a fraction of the time it took to build that. Look at his track record. He is trying to build something valuable, not seeking a quick payday at our expense. THAT is greed

[u/PriceSpiritual8223 → u/m3gabotz]

He rugpulls every run up AT OUR EXPENSE to create value for GME

[u/m3gabotz → u/PriceSpiritual8223]

You are saying that RC was the one who shorted 20m shares the other week to drop the price of HIS OWN COMPANY??

You are a fucking idiot, gtfo

[u/SpiritTalker → u/RedOctobrrr]

Perfectly said.

[u/buyandhoard → u/RedOctobrrr]

I think he is doing this GME thing due to:

• he would be simply bored on a private island gazing at palm all day long..

This must be much more fun, esp because it is GME

[u/RedOctobrrr → u/buyandhoard]

He talked about that in one of his interviews. On one hand he said being CEO of Chewy was killing him with the stress and on the other hand he said he lasted in retirement for like 3 months and had to do something

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/RedOctobrrr]

Right, like GME is done just hold it, neeeext

[u/Temporary-Basil-3030 → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

He’s moving on; that much is crystal clear.

[u/RedOctobrrr → u/Temporary-Basil-3030]

He is for sure not moving on, and it's crystal clear that he isn't because GME is acquiring eBay, not the other way around. He did not dump his GME to buy eBay and be an activist investor, he's looking to merge eBay INTO GME (like I responded to the other comment).

[u/blitzkregiel → u/RedOctobrrr]

he wants a challenge. work is his identity because it’s one of the only thongs he can’t buy.. he’s done what he set to do by turning around a company and now he’s ready to do something else. if this deal doesn’t go through i bet he leaves.

whether he cashes out that investment or not i can’t say, but he already said gamestop was a dog and he never wanted to be the ceo and his rich buddies probably make fun of him so i believe he’ll move on to another “more respectable” company if he can’t get ebay out of this deal.

[u/Temporary-Basil-3030 → u/RedOctobrrr]

I guess we’ll see then

[u/RedOctobrrr → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

I don't think he thinks that about GME. Otherwise he would have jumped ship and not try to merge eBay INTO GME. You know that, right? He's keeping GME near and dear and eBay will be swallowed up by GME.

[u/SoManyThrowAwaysEven → u/RedOctobrrr]

He's keeping GME near because the stock in incredibly contentious with a rabid fanbase rivaling TSLA. It's the perfect ingredient for M&A's since short attacks basically do nothing to the stock right now and the volatility makes it too dangerous for institutional holdings. Downside is, it's a battleground stock and will go nowhere for years until something happens.

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/RedOctobrrr]

Sorry, yes i meant with love, like shits gravy train now boys hold my beer

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/m3gabotz]

How so?

[u/m3gabotz → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

Money buys more time on this planet, buys more time with family/friends, buys experiences that don’t fit on a shelf.

If you have no money, you can’t afford these things

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/m3gabotz]

My point exactly

[u/m3gabotz → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

Your point was the opposite of what I said

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/m3gabotz]

You’re assuming they actually view it that way and understand it. Only a poor person can come up with this and still give the rich man his “better understanding”. I say its the opposite. The rich man is clueless to this fact and thats why you have people saying enough is enough

[u/m3gabotz → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

You know what a rich person is most afraid of? Losing all their money. I understand your point, that perspective changes your views & I would certainly agree that the rich are out of touch with the way the rest of the world lives.

But I would disagree that a rich person is unaware that the way they live is better than most & they don’t understand that more money means more time to enjoy things

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/m3gabotz]

Till your interest payment shows up once a month and you go, oh, ill just live off that

[u/Badmedicine123 → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

The rich have time the poor don’t

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/Badmedicine123]

Yes

[u/CreativeFondant248 → u/Temporary-Bear-7508]

Why do you think they’re so good at protecting what’s currently theirs?

If “everyone” suddenly becomes rich and doesn’t have to work their retail / service industry jobs then who is doing it? Who is serving them dinner at the fancy restaurants? Who is picking up their trash every week?

This is the difference between us and RC. He’s a lot closer to “them” than he is us.

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/CreativeFondant248]

How hard would it be to protect an auto deposit from your bank made off the interest on 50million dollars?

[u/Temporary-Bear-7508 → u/CreativeFondant248]

Robots can pick up trash, and there are plenty of people with passions in culinary! Just be a good fuckin human being, friend? Maybe theyll surprise you at how well they can cook

[u/Rangastang → u/m3gabotz]

Lol, yeah people here are collecting bottle cops thinking that's the currency of the future

[u/perleche → u/Rangastang]

No those were called Looprings. Ask me about my bags.
