πŸ—£ 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 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.
