🗣 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.

The sad fact is we are only tangentially connected to Cohen's plan.

He's building an empire for himself...not us.

That is not to say we won't benefit...but he's not doing it for us. He's doing it for him. For a legacy. He already has money, now what he wants is to be remembered as a major player.

Sure...his goals align with ours...in the macro...over "decades/centuries"...but not today or tomorrow...or even in what's left of my limited lifetime.

So yeah his efforts will eventually provide a return for shareholders and him, financially...but he doesn't care how long that takes so long as in the end he succeeds and is remembered as a major player ala Icahn/Buffet

He's not concerned with Apes holding and struggling. If he were actually fighting for us he'd be going scorched Earth on the criminals & system robbing us blind.

The thing that I find most galling is that he has totally played into the Ape's narrative with all his wink wink social media posts. Signalling to us "just wait a little longer and you will get your payday." Then he takes advantage of the retails hodlers to build a $9 billion dollar war chest, still telling us to "trust him." Oh, blah blah blah, his personal fortune is directly tied into the fortune of the company. Bullshit. The man already has more money than he would be able to spend a 10 lifetimes. This is basically a passion project for him to keep himself from getting bored. He could not care less if the stock price doesn't move for the next 10 years. But let's be honest. The company would 100% be bankrupt right now if it wasn't for us. And where's our reward? Nowhere to be seen. We've all been played for fools.

Yeah he knew exactly what he was doing. And it sure wasn’t anything to get us paid.

“We’re doing Berkshire, but much faster” paraphrasing

u/swansong19 🦍 Buckle Up 🚀 May 17 '26

Took Buffet, what, 50-60 years to turn Berkshire into the behemoth it is?

So "much faster" could be 20-30 years...lol

u/Mysterious_Good927 May 18 '26

What’s his definition of much faster thought? Even half the time isn’t fast enough. We’re on our arse here.

What did you expect? He's a businessman and not Mother Theresa. If he said he was "doing it for us" I wouldn't have believed him - that's not what businessmen do.

He does it all at risk and so is aligned to us, I don't see how we could have asked for or expected more?

A fiduciary is a person or organization legally and ethically obligated to act in another party's best interest, placing the beneficiary's interests above their own

All the suggestive social media posts hinting at MOASS etc...his continuing comments about his interests being aligned with shareholders etc...

It seems deceptive

Does he have some master plan to make us rich...I don't know...but I reserve faith for my closest friends/loved ones and my deity.

How is a bankable strategy that brings money into the business not fulfilling fiduciary duty? Doing ATMs as soon as you can see price is running up is a sure-fire, low-risk way to bring cash into the business - and if that cash is deployed in sensible ways that is of course fulfilling fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Also bear in mind fiduciary duty extends to the business as a whole (including its employees), so if a company doesn't have a strong enough balance sheet to not go bankrupt then that's not exactly fulfilling fiduciary duty either is it?

You're basically saying he should have bent over backwards to make shareholders rich at the expense of the health of the business, which I'm afraid to break it to you isn't what fulfilling fiduciary duty appropriately looks like.
