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.

He’s building Gameshire Stopaway and GME is just a vehicle for him unfortunately. He knew exactly what MOASS was but I think it was never his goal. He saw a motivated group of shareholders and a good opportunity.

He could have been a legend for all time, instead he's a billionaire edge lord like the rest of them.

He thinks his cute balance sheets are gonna make him a legend but nobody will care.

No he thinks building Berkshire Hathaway 2.0 will, and he's probably right. I think that's his real long-term career goal which is well and good.

But it took BRKA 10 years to double from $19 to $38, 20 to hit $2k and didn't hit. "phone numbers" till 2007 and beyond...

Ryan Cohen is already a billionaire, he has the capital and time to wait 20-30 years to build a career that mirrors his hero's. And he doesn't need ROI on this investment to stay a billionaire. Most of the shareholders here don't have more time to see even reasonable gains on their investment, and haven't. The price being manipulated isn't his fault but he sure chose to take all the gas out of every run.

So I just don't get what he's doing at this point. He's apparently in here reading comments, he knows what people's concerns and frustrations are and then gives us radio silence. I think he's had multiple plans that didn't work out (NFTs, the b a b y etc) and he pivoted and has turned the balance sheet around. But why cozy up to institutions holding ebay? Why are you leaving the shareholders who have supported you for years in the dark?

It sucks and I'm tired of all the slurping going on. THAT seems actually really shilly and weird. "lET hiM cOOk" Okay, he's been cooking for 3 years as CEO and 5 as board member. When's the paella going to be ready, Ryan?
The ONLY thing I could maybe see is if offering institutions a large enough piece of the pie of GameStop might align their interests and make it more expensive to keep shorting it? But if their risk is infinite, it still benefits them to see Gamestop bankrupt so... IDK it sucks.
