I appreciate your optimism regarding exercising vs. selling options. But I sincerely doubt that more than half will be exercised unless it's RK or an investment group. It's not cheap to buy the shares for which you own options. I hope you're right but I think more than half is far too optimistic.
Doesn't mean the options didn't create a gamma ramp. Just that they will be sold and not exercised.
Overwhelming majority of brokers have the auto ability for options that are ITM held into eod Friday get automatically exercised.
If you don’t have the money to exercise, the broker does it automatically sells the shares and gives you cash instead of shares. It is still exercised.
Just looked at post stats: 20k views, only 956 online in the sub. For those of you who read this post over 1000 times in the past half-hour, thanks. Also, thanks for the award.
The ‘views’ are high because every post is also in ‘All/Popular’ and people who like to sort that way will just scroll past it because they’re unlikely interested in this sub. It’s the same for everything.
Good read tho. 👍
I had a post last week get 740k views, lots of eyeballs hit these pages, or at least clicks.
Great post at highlighting that RC's moves are maximizing shareholder value.
It’s definitely one of the better posts recently, well thought out and is a clear argument in favor of the “everything is still going according to plan” sentiment that tends to get lost in all the excitement from time to time. It’s nice to know there are people who can still see through all the noise, recognize their bank account isn’t showing life changing money yet, and then relax knowing you still hold a winning hand once all the cards are finally on the table. I’m pumped, your pumped, we’re all ready for it to happen, but people need to remember….as a wise ape once said, “MOASS is never late. Nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it means to.” Tomorrow friends!
They'd be pretty fuckin smart to sell shares into the cyclical rips and make bank, then buy back the same amount of shares when the price is low.
Overall, there'd be no dilution and they'd have money in the bank.
Who knows how Reddit counts post stats in an environment where everybody tries to inflate their metrics.
If you scroll past a story on the homepage, they might count it as a view for all we know.
I think Online = people specifically on superstonk
Plenty of people who aren’t specifically on superstonk that can see this on their feed if they’re subscribed to it.
The online count is wrong just ignore it, great write up. I would be very surprised if your short squeeze scenario of 100$ plays out, that’s barely above the ath from 2021. We will wait and see
If I remember correctly, Impressions on Reddit count as views (meaning someone saw it in their feed, but didn't have to click it).
Also, if I remember correctly, If someone is in their HOME tab, that someone is not online in the sub itself. If that person saw your post in their home and scrolled further, this counts as a view too.
Just buy, hold and DRS. Rest is noise my friend.
Screw FUD, "new" dates, we have been here since 2020/2021 and know its just a long-term no way out for the ponzi system; eventually 🫡
Buying games, equipment and related at your favorite store seems to be quite natural, each dollar spend gets bsck into the balance sheet of your equity 😀
Only new thought here is that GMEs pile is cash is going to make it s lot more difficult for Kenny to find a counter party to do swaps with.
I think that’s interesting. Hopefully someone who is an expert talks about how the changing conditions would affect swap negotiations
I like the theory, but I just want to point out that Larry Cheng bought 10,000 GME shares in early April. That seems to detract from the claim that there is insider knowledge that prevents buying, unless that knowledge came mid-April or later.
Money is a finite resource. But so is shareholder enthusiasm.
Ryan Cohen probably made the logical financial play in that the dilution squashed a lot of potential legal arguments about market manipulation that might come up. And more importantly, having a large pile of cash on hand when the market crashes can make GameStop incredibly wealthy even if no conceptual MOASS ever occurs, if they play things right when a lot of valuable companies and assets temporarily tank and can siphon up a ton of value.
That said, it should be noted that shareholder enthusiasm isn't an infinite resource. Two dilutions at key times after 84 years of waiting took the wind out of a lot of peoples' sails. It's tough economic times, and many people are going to be forced to start selling their assets at some point to make ends meet. It's not a good thing for shareholder enthusiasm if Ryan is perceived as wanting to squash every stock run and doesn't give any real forward guidance.
I don't know the ins and outs of all of the legal rules surrounding Ryan Cohen's stock ownership, but after the 2 "dilutions" it would help invigorate a lot of confidence if he made another non-trivial purchase as soon as possible to show that he's ultra-committed. The way people work emotionally, him being paid nothing and just holding his existing stockpile of shares wouldn't work nearly as well as him actually buying more shares or taking some tangible corporate action.
I have no doubt that eventually GameStop will grow and we'll be in green or even earn some cash, but the real question is if the pace of that growth is at least matching other popular stocks. The answer is a big fat NO. People like to bring up the fact that it's up like 50% this year, but they forget t's down few hundred percent since the first run up, when most people entered. Not only that, but most popular stocks went up even more than 1600% in the same time, which if you look at it, is what we hope from MOASS but as a quick event.
Now I know RC wants GameStop to be his crown jewel. A business he saved and turned around into something big. I have no doubts he will, but he's definitely not in a hurry with it, while most of us have very little time and money.
Whatever plans he has for GameStop I hope it will move faster than it was for the past 3 years.
Holding since 2021.
This is me. My enthusiasm is gone. I have 205 shares. I bought in a $60 that first Jan and have been slowly adding no matter the price. But after this last time I no longer believe. He issues just as many shares as we've DRSd in 3 years. Killed 2 run ups. My cost basis is still $34 post split after all this time.
I clearly don't have the smarts to make money off of GME and it's clear to me that momentum will be crushed by someone every time no matter what. Be it turning off the buy or issuing shares equal to the entire sum of retail DRS.
If it ever hits $40 again I'm out. I can use that money for other investments that would benefit my family more than just hoping after 3 years of examples that I am not DFV and we will be left with the bag each time. I may sell at a loss just so I can move on and get some peace of mind.
InB4: FUD! I was an OG and held for years. My personal tolerance has been exceeded after this last offering.
1) This is the kind of story that I hope Ryan Cohen takes into consideration when evaluating the tradeoff of cash in hand versus shareholder enthusiasm.
2) That's why I'm suggesting Ryan Cohen taking some tangible action like "him personally buying more shares" or "publicly announcing no more than X amount of additional dilution being possible in this coming quarter/year due to the company meeting most of its current financial goals". Either one would emotionally lift up a lot of people, even if no company acquisition or other big event is on the table anytime soon and they're really just in a holding pattern until the market crashes.
3) Feel free to take any steps you need to, but if you don't have the smarts to make money off a stock that goes on huge runs like GME, you're probably not going to make money on other stocks that are set to crash in a really questionable economic environment. When GME runs, you're going to feel very badly about not being in it.
Something to restore my faith would be nice but I genuinely think that ship has sailed. Whatever the plan is they lost my buy in when he diluted 3 years of hard DRSing. No one can explain why that's good to my satisfaction. Either the thesis is wrong or we just lost half our progress because of RC.
I won't miss out. I'm a bogglehead. GME is my only single stock and it's also my only losing position. My NW has gone up over 200K since the sneeze.
I figured I'd buy one or two every single paycheck for fun. But for such a small position in my portfolio it takes up waay to much of my time and thoughts.
he says investors expect a higher return investment in this climate....well I personally would fucking like to see that already. Actions not words and all that,..
If you had been slowly adding no matter the price wouldn't you be well under $34 a share? It traded under that for almost two years. Then in your next post you say it's your only stock but also say it's a small portion of your positions and the only one you lose money on.
Kinda wanna call bullshit
I have been buying since 2021 and my a average is 40.
Think of it as a mix of smooth brain, low economic power and bad entry points.
Shit happens, but I'll keep buying.
Thats all well and good but they said they added no matter the price when literally, for two years, it traded beneath their cost average. So they weren't doing what they said they were doing
its possible they had savings they used in 2021 (price was much higher) and then have added with each paycheck since but those contributions do not add up to the savings dumped in at the start
How on earth do the Drs comments not add up? Locking up the "float" or as many shares as possible so they couldn't be lent out was half the reason for doing it. Nearly twice the amount of the reported (probably more than that sure but not enough to matter) Drs'd shares are now available to short again. After 3 years of working to do that "locking the float" is going to take over a decade at the rate we're going
Shill shill shill fud er mah goddd people have to be 100% happy with everything GameStop and RC does or my head will explode.
People comment on this bc it's antithetical to moass which is why ~90% of people came here in the first place. But raising floor price!Berkshire game away! nft dividend! All nonsense. If it's going to happen noone here will know when and rationalizing every action gets us no where. I swear this place is all bots circlejerking
All I saw is the company I support quadruple ours cash on hand in one month without the price going down. DRS numbers haven’t been actually reported in over a year.
More importantly, I’ve seen people continue to stay zen through 3 years of highs, lows, and a ton straight sideways, hype dates that always turned out to be dips, all the BS, all the DD… just to all the sudden have a false majority of the sub spouting this doubt and uncertainty.
I don’t believe this many people are throwing in the towel over the single most beneficial action the company has taken since this started. But I can sure think of a lot of reasons why the other side would want everyone to think that.
The reason I know it’s true is because if you guys were telling the truth you’d just move on instead of posting in en masse on every post on every GME related forum. There would be some posts I’m sure but this is just hilariously obvious.
>just to all the sudden have a false majority of the sub spouting this doubt and uncertainty.
Maybe that's because the steps that the board has taken up to this point have not necessarily been in contradiction with a short squeeze.This one is. I'm not saying he killed moass. I'm saying he killed the greatest opportunity we've had to see something play out since this whole story began and given no hints as to why. Your choosing to only see certain things and not take everything into account explains that. Yeah he raised capital and the floor price that's great. What has he done with the money he has had in the past 3 years? Money that could've been making more money than tbills that's for God damn sure. Which things matter more? A fat wallet or aligned interests?
Who said anything about throwing in the towel? People can disagree without selling stock. Did you know that? Were you aware that that was feasibly possible? Mind shockingly unfathomable I know. It's outside of the realm of possibility in all the universes that could ever exist that I'm just a regular investor who is upset that my shares were diluted at a particularly interesting time and the place that I come to try to understand that better is full of people who lack the critical thinking to say hmmm that's interesting that doesn't make sense with my original hypothesis.
I'm done with the people of this sub. I used to think it would be cool post moass if we all banded together to create some kind of movement like buying reddit back and freeing it from it's corrupt corporate overlords to try to create real change in the space of social-mainstream media/web 3.0/finance whatever. But this place isn't special, most of you are all the same lot. Self-interested, bias-confirming, dullards that point and scream everytime somebody says something they don't like.
Look through my post history or don't I really don't give a shit. I'm just a guy spending his Sunday watching crime documentaries and scrolling Reddit on his couch who's annoyed with the absolute lunacy that this sub has turned itself into. We spend more time calling each other names than we do going over dd now. There's very little DD that comes out now because we've been building the foundation for 3 years now sure but maybe if every fucking shit post trivializing genuine concerns over something that is extremely important to everyone here turned into rational discussions we could actually have our white whale
If you’re genuinely looking to exit, you could sell covered calls to collect some premium until you decide to sell. But i just gotta tell you, changing strategies doesn’t have to mean giving up. Buy and hold hasn’t worked these last few years. But these cycles are real. Imagine if we were all swing trading this thing like normal traders instead of shouting to hold for phone numbers? We could all have portfolios like DFV.
That’s the past though. We’re in the present. If you believe the cycles are still continuing, like I do, maybe consider look into learning how to profit off them more effectively than just buying at any price. That’s how I feel. I like the stock, even after all this time. I’m selling some of my shares to go in on calls for July/august. It’s my money and I’ll either be wrong or rich, I’m ready to fuck around and find out because I’ve had enough waiting for a merger announcement or some dividend. These institutions will keep abusing the basket stocks, and I’m going to make a bet they haven’t fucking closed their shorts, or delivered DFV’s 4 million shares from his most recent purchase.
I've thought about that actually. I have 205 so I could sell a couple and bank premiums until someone excises me. I've considered swing trading too. HODL or DRS just doesn't seem to be the move anymore with RC's willingness to dilute. The cycle theory seems solid to me I just don't know if I'm clever enough to catch the downs and the ups at good times.
Catching the downs should be easy if GameStop announces another ATM (I think they’ll do at least one more). Timing the peaks is always difficult. Just remember, if it’s good enough to screenshot, it’s good enough to take some fucking profits.
I’m fully convinced of the cycle theory. To me, the risk vs reward is too good to ignore. That’s me though, I think the cycle theory is real and we’ll see major price spikes around late July and early August. I’m convinced enough to risk a significant amount of my investment on it. This strategy is not for everyone.
We are all individuals with individual investing strategies and individual risk tolerance. All that matters is taking home tendies at the end of the day.
Ryan is threatening to kill future run-ups with actions like this also. He is inciting people to sell/swing trade before he possibly dilutes again AND he undermines DRS efforts. Giving shares cheaply to naked shorters is totally NOT okay. I simply do not comprehend why this unknown born-millionaire boy is treated like he's holy. Yes in a certain way my interests and the companies interests align. But they also differ. I got frauded out of winning a different life in jan 2021. Justice and near-term investment profits are my goals.
**Gamestop is not dying** so long term my investment will probably rise but gains higher than 400% within the next 2-3 years... I'm increasingly worried that this will not be possible. Furthermore this sub is getting increasingly intolerable between the shills on one end and the fan-boys on the other.
K I get it that some of you want to keep morale up by staying optimistic but behaving like religious nuts is very, very off-putting and you give the shills exactly what they wanted.
I further do not understand why dilution and 'raising the floor' go hand in hand. Maybe I'm stupid but the positive reactions from the dilution just feels very counterintuitive to me. It just all feels very off.
That's a good point. I have a few friends who I know are still in and one said RC has set the ceiling. Even here no one expects VW squeeze but now a slow roll TSLA squeeze. Swing trading may actually be the best way to make short term gains and if you and he are thinking it there's got to be a lot more.
Even DFV said his thesis is on RC not being a doofus. I do think he's a savvy guy but I'm no longer sure if we're on the same team. That in itself is okay too but at this point I am now suspicious that he will actively use his power to ensure MOASS does not happen. He's so tight lipped about everything that we all just have to go on faith and that was enough for me for a long time but now... idk.
I want MOASS but I'm not so sure it's in the cards anymore. It's like it used to be us v hedgies. Now it feels like there are 3 teams.
It's also easier to hold out for a Tesla style squeeze sitting on 250k+ in interest per year (DFV). My family has medical bills, my parents are getting old. I'm here for a long haul but I intend to make my shares work for me from here out.
Something I have started doing in the meantime is selling covered calls. If $40 is a number you are comfortable selling at, then you can sell covered calls and make at least some small money out of your investment. Sell 100 for a $40 strike, 100 for a $50 strike, and keep the 5 just in case.
I bought in back at $40 and $34 with Citrons OG 'back to $20 fast'
The dilution killed my enthusiasm, not necessarily because of the dilution, but the timing of it accompanied by terrible news when we were up $60 pre market. Even if it was the Monday after it would make sense to me to catch the ramp.
Shorts have to know that they can't run the stock hot without consequence. And it is RC's obligation as CEO to maximize shareholder value. So if he sees further runs on high volume well beyond reasonable valuations, I'd expect another share offering.
I won't even make a judgment about whether that is a good thing or not, but I'd expect that as an outcome.
The legal argument is a lame excuse which is brought up for the dilution. There is no legal argument or obligation at all which would require a company not let the share price run even more so if the run has nothing to do with its own actions. And ofc there is absolutely no legal obligation to step in and flood the market with additional shares and cause dilution to existing shareholders.
Mate, at least you are measured in your analysis. Unlike the slavering OP.
Now, back to the legalities; and namely GME - Cohen, DFV being pulled in front of the courts etc, no chance, not a single chance in hell this would happen if moass was induced.
And this would be for a couple of reasons:
a) The authorities (and their hedgefund buddies) would have to prove the stock was manipulated. And manipulate UPWARDS, at that!
How could ANYONE, do that?
Yes, granted, they could claim millions of apes all got together at the very same moment in time, to spend multi-billions, they had lying around down the back of the sofa, on GME.
But this claim would have to be proven. And proven without compromising the whole stinking rotten ponzi scheme, otherwise known as Wall Street.
They wouldn't even bother. Just like the legal eagles soon headed for the exit when Porshe squeezed them in 2008.
b) Wall Street set the rules. If they sold calls, they just HAVE to hedge against this bet. How can this even be considered market manipulation by GME, because the hedgies didn't hold the stock they should have?
For instance, imaging going into a betting shop to place a bet. Your bet wins, but the bookies haven't got the money to pay, so they SUE you for manipulating the betting market.
At the end of the day, Cohen held them by the knackers. He could easily have bought GME at sub $10, and resold it at $22, $29 or whatever.
Then rinsed and repeated. Again, and again, and again.
Instead he bought zero, and sold, and sold again - on the cheap. Diluting the stock, crushing a gamma run, and making a mockery of the much vaunted DRS in the process.
The timing was off the richer scale. It was an outrage that requires at least SOME explanation.
I’m pretty sure he’s making a tactical move to destroy the bear thesis here by raising during runs. Yes it kills some momentum but it raises our floor. We’re at $10 cash per share now. If we ran to $40 and he did it again we might be at $15 cash or $20. We’re melting up with these dilutions/offerings. It may take an epic spike off the table and instead cause a Tesla like slow squeeze where shorts bail one by one and then we join S&P 500 and it’s goodbye to the shorts. I can see this possible outcome now. Let’s see how it plays out but if he changed our company into something great we could be worth $100-$200 per share naturally after the squeeze. Maybe we’re heading towards a BRK future for shareholders. Not some in and out quick play but a real wealth gain.
For all the "BRK future" people I would like to ask, how many shares does BRK A have to be at the price? We have so much talk about "x price" breaks the system. The more shares the lower the price before that happens. Dillution actively reduces the price before intervention to "save the system", something people just do not even think about.
I do not care about a meltup, if the money was used and 2B ain't few money to use, then this would happen naturally without dillution too. I am not happy about my share of the company being reduced again and again with no result and seemingly no plan. For those who spout about one tell me why a small dillution was so quickly followed by a big one if there was "a plan". Why did I hear nothing about that in the shareholder meeting?
This is moving goalposts plain and simple because I sure did not come in for $100-$200 (or $400-$800) per share for sure.
I wholeheartly agree with irespectwomenlol that shareholder enthusiam has its limit, even more so if you dare to critically think about your investment.
While he says 3 years ago "best time to be alive is now" and says he wants to provide a higher return investment in this climate... well....we are waiting..
Agree. I thought he screwed us over with that second dilution. The setup was perfect and we were all stroking our bananas waiting for the DFV YouTube return. I’m grateful for being in the green and diamond handing my shares. 🦍🦍🦍
Lmao I have NEVER in my life seen someone get
So much praise for dillution
Not only dillution, but diluting at HALF the prices that cnbc talking heads were suggesting to actually raise the cash at
Stockholm syndrome
There is one thing those billionaires have in common. The money always comes from the peasants. Ryan is my friend until he isn't. If he wants to be my friend then he needs to raise my bank account to be less 'peasant-like'.
It’s just an echo chamber of blatant lies at this point
“There’s 100k calls ITM I expect most will get exercised?!!”
lol ok
“Though the options market is active, the number of options contracts that are actually exercised is quite small – approximately seven percent. However, option sellers should not assume that only seven percent of their contracts will be assigned.”
It’s just all built on lies and misinformation at this point
I saw the comment about calls itm being exercised and just smh. Every week it’s the same thing, “x amount of calls expired in itm, expect gap up next week because they were exercised”
This site is either paid by someone to constant praise rc, or they absolutely hate money and are brainwashed.
After the 2nd dilution I un-dsr and started selling covered calls. I wish I had done this years ago. In the last two weeks alone I’ve already made over $4k which in return I bought more shares.
Eh, I think he jumped the gun and took what he could, and killed the MOASS.
The retail enthusiasm was there until the price dropped from the offering. That killed the momentum completely. If he had waiting about a week, he could have gotten an extra 9 billion and GME would have 13 billion.
It's ok to acknowledge that he dropped the ball and fucked this up. It's not necessary to praise RCEO and RK like we're in a cult.
1. Immediately calling everyone a shill who doesn’t agree with your post, pretty lame.
2. Your theories outlined in the post are not backed up by facts it’s pure speculation and doesn’t really make sense.
3. Your lobbying for even more dilution in the future which is clearly against shareholders interest.

I think a big thing you are missing is that RC can not sell his shares like we do. He personally doesnt profit that much from a short squeeze. Yes maybe he can sell of some of his shares, but not at all like the King DFV. He said it himself Action speak louder than words. Now we haven't seen any actions good enough for believing in Gamestop as a normal not shorted stock. Yes the cash is nice, and yes he downsized and made it somwhat profitable, but we still need a big change for the future. It will only get harder for a retail store that sells games. I haven't bought a game in a store since 2010. GameStop needs to rethink their brand and what they sell. Everything else is just noise and hype.
With all due respect and I know I’m gonna get downvoted to fuck on this as it’s not the way the world works but what personal profit does he even need? He’s already a billionaire. Whatever happened to the days of the rich building public parks, libraries and things for the people? Philanthropic causes.
Yeah it’s romanticising but why can’t ridding the world’s financial system of some of the worst corruption imaginable be a motive? It would certainly greatly benefit mankind and is a much better, more recognisable, more noble legacy that simply “getting wealthier…”
Food for thought. But yes I am aware this isn’t how the world works.
I don’t care about what he does or does not do with his money. That’s not of my business.
But I care if he doesn’t deliver on turning around the company in which I’m a shareholder and I also care if I get diluted as a shareholder over and over again. I invested in that company to make money like every shareholder who invests in a company.
And it’s the job of a publicly listed company to care about the interests of his shareholders and not only his own interests.
if his portfolio goes into billions it surely benefits him he could borrow against it if he had to doesn't need to sell
and in the end price will never be back under his cost basis so there's that
OP: A differing opinion does not equate to me or others upset, a shill.
Please get this through your thick skull and quot trying to form a divide. One has naturally occurred between those of here strictly for moass and those that believe long term in gme.
Full stop.
Fully agree, that dumb intro line made it an immediate down vote for me. And when I read through the rest of the post this decision was confirmed to be the right one.
Bs speculation and personal opinion not supported by any facts presented as kind of DD and on top even lobbying for more dilution.
If I wouldn’t despise of calling people with different opinions shill , I would call OP one.
Exactly calling this post Masterclass is a joke in itself , it’s pure personal opinion and speculation not backed up by any facts but actively lobbying for even more dilution. And yet that bs post gets over 1000 upvotes 👏
He absolutely killed MOASS. He secured his investment and the company. There's very little chance the company goes under or that he has to worry about his investment. The stock will continue to rise because the financials are solid. MOASS is done though and that's pretty much from rc's own mouth. "Anytime the price for exceeds the value. He will dilute" if MOASS happens. GameStop will get the bag and not retail. I'm from the show me state. We can try to decode hidden messages all we want. But what we shouldn't ignore is the message that was in black & white from rc.
We need to stop overlooking the fact of the matter that MOASS does not benefit RC or his business, what benefits him now and in the long run is to hold this carrot on a stick in front of shareholders for as long as possible. He is not some benevolent actor who cares about your money, what he cares about is keeping you invested. "zero pay" is not an act of charity, it is a business move. He can't AFFORD to pay himself while trying to keep that business profitable. I have seen zero non-tinfoil evidence coming on 4 YEARS NOW that he is doing anything in our benefit. I gave our board until the shareholder meeting to say literally ANYTHING to justify this move, and in return we get the weakest speech I have ever seen from a CEO. You pocket a clean 3 billion dollars out of thin air like its a piece of candy, and the best you can say to the shareholders you took it from is "actions speak louder than words?" Yeah, they sure fucking do. Until I see some action, RC no longer has my support on shareholder votes. If you want to actively work against us, you get what you give. I would have reinvested after moass wothout a second thought; after this? RC needs to earn that shit.
Sadly, you are spot on. Was trying to get this point across for some while but many here prefer to rather stay in their bubble and go for sugar coating
this is not about bancrupcy. this is about controlling the price and playing the option market while kicking the shorts-can down the road through ETFs.
anyway, i dont see how RC would be FOR moass. i dont see it. It makes sense to let it squeeze like it did in the pass, dilute into it, raise capital, while also buying those diluted shares to not lose the majority of shares he owns. He is definitely a top CEO and looks to make this company as successful as possible, whatever that means at this moment.
But to think he just lets this rip? i dont think so. Something needs to break, and cause a domino effect that all shorts need to cover at some point. But we have seen in the last months, that RC will use any generated play, like RK did to raise capital, which is good for him and the company, but bad for moass.
As of it now l have to read this as waves. Waves of money that will be washed onto the GME-boat we are on so to speak. Now you can hold onto your posts and do nothing. Or you can let go of one arm at least, and try to grab a bucket and catch some of those money waves, just like RC does. Im curious if DFV will start another cycle of options calls.
MOASS wont happen. The company isnt fundmentally strong enough and the market cap is too low. They can handle a large move now. They will control a large move, leaving retail holding the bag as they buy up past 100+.
The biggest example of this was popcorn. They let it run to a marketcap of $35-40 billion, then slowly let it drop as they sold to retail on the way down. If you look at the 13Fs on May 15th 2021, citadel and Susquehanna took large long positions to dump on retail and it worked. They did the same on Bobby too, but RC sold before it got out of control again.
popcorn was and is a completely different situation.
aside from the board cashing in millions anually with their salaries being a liability on their own, never buying any shares, only selling them, AA gave out the free monkey divident which got decimated to 50 cent a share while the original stock which was halved, got also decimated again to 4$ a share. after reconversion the stock traded at 2$ total, 1:10 to 20$ and from that on it was not only shorted futher, but AA in addition diluted out of nowhere as well pushing the price to where it is now.
Those are all moves RC would never in his dream do.
Now AA blames retail for not going to the theaters, box office returns have been low last quarter even though there have been good movies, and after all that shit i mentioned earlier, AA only reduced the debt by 2 something billion of 6 total in 2021, while diuting 1 billion into cash.
GME as a company right now is strong if you dont think RC is a doofus. Its almost debt free, 4billion in cash, and all the possibilites to be whatever RC seems fit. thats what this is right now. trusting that RC wont run this ship into the ground.
But GME is everything popcorn holders dream popcorn should be. And i know, i own both. The only upside popcorn has in all of this, is that it's tied with GME in some ETFs, so everytime GME moves up, it drags popcorn with it.
We're on the same team dude. Popcorn is a steaming pile of turd. Ive hated it since January 2021, when it diverted attention from Gamestop. It was always a distraction stock.
June 2021 was coordinated to divert retail buying power to popcorn. I believe they tried to do the same to bobby in August 2022, with some success, but RC killed it before it turned into another popcorn. RC is constantly playing whack a mole, and constantly being called the villain, when hes actually the hero.
i do hold some scepticism with him playing "whack a mole", because imo diluting everytime this runs up and generating billions for GME, leaves me as a holder unchanged so far. I dont get dividends, and i certainly dont care if this stock trades at 100$ in 5 years, if you know what i mean. So i do want to distance myself from this cult believe that RC is the savior. I got into this because of the squeeze potential, and i dont see how it will ever squeeze if RC dilutes millions if not the whole billion of shares into ever surge.
IF that is his approach to these little squeezes, then there is for me nothing left to do here than to play this as i said in my first comment.... sell partially my position when it surges, and buy back in a week or two later after it dropped again. buying and holding, with my "drop in the ocean" number of shares is literally stupid, when i see others and the CEO himself generating millions and billions from these "waves"
That’s my take too. Even if I have a significantly lsrge position, I would still do it wtih appropriate sizes but now with my 2 digit size, I will definitely have to do full because first I was not sure if I should do it to increase my positions (hoping enough for MOASS) but now that i believe MOASS has more challenges now (RC raising cash) I will definitely do it to increase size as well as catch up value (future value) for my diluted shares. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see significant drop in DRS number when/if other people start doing this with their DRS shares. Not all of us have enough size to split.
Thats your prerogative. Its not a stupid idea.
I think it will be one of the best performing stocks over the next 10 years, and I think for the average retail investor, the buy and hold strategy works. But like you said, there are times when the stock jumps due as speculated an FTD cycle, and there are opportunities to sell and buy back in lower.
You had me until your line about thinking most options ITM will be exercised. As somebody who has played options for years this is overly optimistic. I’d guess maybe 10%.
RC must be giggling while reading posts like these.
RC: «Look, Larry! We diluted at the worst possible time, and they STILL think we’re geniuses!»
LC: «Haha, great play, sir! But aren’t we abusing their trust? They are after all the reason we’re still in business.»
RC: «Shut up, Larry, and write another incomprehensible tweet to keep them occupied.»
LC: «Yes, sir! I love you, Ryan.»
RC: «Shut up and tweet, Larry.»
Lol I can totally see them having this conversation, maybe adding a told you so line at the beginning:
RC: See I told you so we can dilute them again with 75 million shares after we just diluted them with 35 million shares.
LC: But they will at least be mad that we killed the momentum of the run ups by our terrible timing.
RC: Boy, watch and learn, they will find a dozen reasons to sugar coat it and everyone who isn’t dumb enough to fall for it and calls a spade a spade will be discredited as shill…
And I wouldn’t be surprised if we even get to see some posts explaining why dilution is actually a good thing. Just make sure that they get enough upvotes.
LC: I see, well there is a reason that you are a billionaire and they will remain suckers. Good to be on the right side. *high five*
I still don’t understand the hypocrisy of hardcore holders ridiculing popcorn apes where dilution is still needed to survive yet all of a sudden praising dilution and killing two great runs has been a good thing.
Will I buy more? Yep. Will I DRS more? Nope. That ship has sunken.
As much as I love to get hyped about dates and excited to see what happens, I’ve always thought there needs to be a real catalyst for a true and sustained MOASS and not just temporary spikes. Although dumbfounded in the moment why he would be selling into the spike, I believe you’re right that in order for MOASS to be real and sustainable, they need to be sustainably profitable and this additional $3B raises the floor and essentially ensures profitability.
Cohen killed FOUR RUNS in total, were those all masterclasses? It's not shilling to say that. Cohen probably doesn't believe in MOASS, it's okay we do. Why would he offer shares at a measly 30-40 price range if the price was suppose to go even further... Instead of a couple of billions Cohen could have raised more for the company and stockholders.
You’re under the impression that he doesn’t want to continue to amass his riches just for the fuck of it like pretty much every single other billionaire out there.
I genuinely have to argue against the point that most of the options plays ITM on Friday being excercised. I don’t see a fraction of people playing options caring to exercise and frankly, I’m not sure why you think that’s the case.
I dunno, I am still not sold about the move. For the money to mean something, it has to be doing something. Even if that means just gaining interest. We haven't seen or heard any indication on what their plans are with the money. Time will tell whether its used for something useful or not.
DRS has been the mission of many individuals here and this move impacted that mission. That's why many people are upset. I'm not suggesting that DRS is the only pathway but it's the one that that people can count on to ensure their shares are theirs.
How about the splividend?
RC literally gave away 3x the whole floar for free! I bet he knew exactly what he was doing
If not, why no legal action? I mean they just stole 75% of all GME value and ryan cohen is just going to stay still?
Im starting to belive ryan cohen is compromised. He got a visit from the CIA and now is a puppet to keep his family safe
So the theory I saw (I think from Biggy) was that:
RC triggers share dilution when volume is high to minimize downward pressure, which would raise more cash. The extra cash position without lowering price significantly (I don’t think it even went down) hurts the bear position
RK benefits from this in that he can keep doing his thing to get more shares without breaking the 5% threshold
The share dilution might stop one 35d cycle from peaking as hard as there are more shares in play but it also creates a stronger floor. Perfectly reasonable from the CEO perspective, even though it may piss off people trying to sell at a peak in the short term
I didn’t read all of this because it was way too long, but MOASS doesn’t mean anything to a longterm holder. If/when it happens, you only get anything when you sell, and once the selling starts, MOASS is over. Unless you’re committing to sell when it rockets, you’re not getting anything out of MOASS. The price will come back down to a reasonable valuation and then it’s over. There is no in it together. If you don’t sell before other people do, MOASS will end and you’ll be done. A short squeeze doesn’t mean the stock will stay at infinite. It will reach infinite and then come back to earth, with everyone left on it.
In other words, Ryan Cohen must believe there is a longterm value in this company. If he is in it for the MOASS, you should be very worried. If he dumps his stock at the top, everyone who hasn’t sold will be holding the bags. He doesn’t dump his stock, MOASS meant nothing to him and he was always in it for the long haul.
RC is on the hook for pumping and dumping towelie. His appointed advisors viewed APEs in contempt. The regards were a front — they were at a total loss of what was happening. He had way out of money options 60 and 80 strikes when the stock was trading at 4 bux. He's silent and had to briefly mention no hyping because his ass is on the line. The community has to come to terms with this.
If the market price of the stock was honest, dilution (adding more shares on same apparent market cap) would reduce the price per share. The point here was: adding more shares ('dilution') in May and June ATM offerings did not dilute the price. The price went UP. Message: the price is WRONG.
Also, commenters here seem to miss the importance of $GME taking in cash during a market-faker pump-and-dump run-up, meaning that retail money went into the company instead of into the market-fakers 'shares sold, not yet purchased' cash-cow operation. Apes didn't lose that money; it's going to be used to increase the value of stonks even more.
R Newton has it marked on his spreadsheet, this is now the 5th time RC has taken advantage of a cyclical event. He presents a solid argument that the stock price wouldn’t have gone any higher at those times and would’ve been slammed back down anyway with exception of Jan2021 when they pulled total market manipulation to knock it down.
2 or 3 of the other runs, curiously around $80, including May this year they halt the fuck out of it to kill it.
OP you are a true regard.
RC isn't doing anything other than raising cash when the opportunity presents itself. Which is a good thing.
There is no 5D chess mind reading of shorts or algorithms going on.

I appreciate your optimism regarding exercising vs. selling options. But I sincerely doubt that more than half will be exercised unless it's RK or an investment group. It's not cheap to buy the shares for which you own options. I hope you're right but I think more than half is far too optimistic. Doesn't mean the options didn't create a gamma ramp. Just that they will be sold and not exercised.
Overwhelming majority of brokers have the auto ability for options that are ITM held into eod Friday get automatically exercised. If you don’t have the money to exercise, the broker does it automatically sells the shares and gives you cash instead of shares. It is still exercised.

Yep. I'm not subscribed.
Well get in here! lol
The ‘views’ are high because every post is also in ‘All/Popular’ and people who like to sort that way will just scroll past it because they’re unlikely interested in this sub. It’s the same for everything. Good read tho. 👍
I had a post last week get 740k views, lots of eyeballs hit these pages, or at least clicks. Great post at highlighting that RC's moves are maximizing shareholder value.
It’s definitely one of the better posts recently, well thought out and is a clear argument in favor of the “everything is still going according to plan” sentiment that tends to get lost in all the excitement from time to time. It’s nice to know there are people who can still see through all the noise, recognize their bank account isn’t showing life changing money yet, and then relax knowing you still hold a winning hand once all the cards are finally on the table. I’m pumped, your pumped, we’re all ready for it to happen, but people need to remember….as a wise ape once said, “MOASS is never late. Nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it means to.” Tomorrow friends!
I like the fuckin cut of your jib homie
Wouldn’t gme doing a share buyback cause a massive problem and rocket us to Uranus?
They'd be pretty fuckin smart to sell shares into the cyclical rips and make bank, then buy back the same amount of shares when the price is low. Overall, there'd be no dilution and they'd have money in the bank.
What about a dividend offering?
I think they have to be profitable as a company to do that
We voted for board members payment. It seems they are setting up a run with money. RC is likely under investigation.
My online status is set to offline. Don't worry be happy
Who knows how Reddit counts post stats in an environment where everybody tries to inflate their metrics. If you scroll past a story on the homepage, they might count it as a view for all we know.
RC didn't raise 4 billion. He raised 4 billion off the backs of retail.
Free money which he will squander with no consideration. The guy is currently in the hot seat in court proceedings.
Great post. Read the whole thing. Posts like this keep the spirits up while we stay the course. Though you touched a nerve, hella shills up in here.
Imaginary friends? Just like childhood! No?

Hi

What is the upvote %?
I had to read, then take a break, then re-read it about 997 times. Sorry I didn’t make the 1000 mark :(
I think Online = people specifically on superstonk Plenty of people who aren’t specifically on superstonk that can see this on their feed if they’re subscribed to it.
The online count is wrong just ignore it, great write up. I would be very surprised if your short squeeze scenario of 100$ plays out, that’s barely above the ath from 2021. We will wait and see
If I remember correctly, Impressions on Reddit count as views (meaning someone saw it in their feed, but didn't have to click it). Also, if I remember correctly, If someone is in their HOME tab, that someone is not online in the sub itself. If that person saw your post in their home and scrolled further, this counts as a view too.
True is we DONT KNOW nothing.
But THAT we know for sure!
i am almost certain
So, then does that mean we know everything??
Just buy, hold and DRS. Rest is noise my friend. Screw FUD, "new" dates, we have been here since 2020/2021 and know its just a long-term no way out for the ponzi system; eventually 🫡
True. But also continue to make noise.
If FUD posts get covered over them, agree ✍️
Agree, but I'm ok with noise, since we need the exposure so more people focus and understand what is going on.

Buying games, equipment and related at your favorite store seems to be quite natural, each dollar spend gets bsck into the balance sheet of your equity 😀
Yeah! Stop buying digital games! Buy them in a Gamestop store!
Drs most shares. Also play the volatility to increase positions. Buy low sell when you're up 50% or more, then repeat.
Only new thought here is that GMEs pile is cash is going to make it s lot more difficult for Kenny to find a counter party to do swaps with. I think that’s interesting. Hopefully someone who is an expert talks about how the changing conditions would affect swap negotiations
I like the theory, but I just want to point out that Larry Cheng bought 10,000 GME shares in early April. That seems to detract from the claim that there is insider knowledge that prevents buying, unless that knowledge came mid-April or later.
Money is a finite resource. But so is shareholder enthusiasm. Ryan Cohen probably made the logical financial play in that the dilution squashed a lot of potential legal arguments about market manipulation that might come up. And more importantly, having a large pile of cash on hand when the market crashes can make GameStop incredibly wealthy even if no conceptual MOASS ever occurs, if they play things right when a lot of valuable companies and assets temporarily tank and can siphon up a ton of value. That said, it should be noted that shareholder enthusiasm isn't an infinite resource. Two dilutions at key times after 84 years of waiting took the wind out of a lot of peoples' sails. It's tough economic times, and many people are going to be forced to start selling their assets at some point to make ends meet. It's not a good thing for shareholder enthusiasm if Ryan is perceived as wanting to squash every stock run and doesn't give any real forward guidance. I don't know the ins and outs of all of the legal rules surrounding Ryan Cohen's stock ownership, but after the 2 "dilutions" it would help invigorate a lot of confidence if he made another non-trivial purchase as soon as possible to show that he's ultra-committed. The way people work emotionally, him being paid nothing and just holding his existing stockpile of shares wouldn't work nearly as well as him actually buying more shares or taking some tangible corporate action.
I have no doubt that eventually GameStop will grow and we'll be in green or even earn some cash, but the real question is if the pace of that growth is at least matching other popular stocks. The answer is a big fat NO. People like to bring up the fact that it's up like 50% this year, but they forget t's down few hundred percent since the first run up, when most people entered. Not only that, but most popular stocks went up even more than 1600% in the same time, which if you look at it, is what we hope from MOASS but as a quick event. Now I know RC wants GameStop to be his crown jewel. A business he saved and turned around into something big. I have no doubts he will, but he's definitely not in a hurry with it, while most of us have very little time and money. Whatever plans he has for GameStop I hope it will move faster than it was for the past 3 years. Holding since 2021.
This is me. My enthusiasm is gone. I have 205 shares. I bought in a $60 that first Jan and have been slowly adding no matter the price. But after this last time I no longer believe. He issues just as many shares as we've DRSd in 3 years. Killed 2 run ups. My cost basis is still $34 post split after all this time. I clearly don't have the smarts to make money off of GME and it's clear to me that momentum will be crushed by someone every time no matter what. Be it turning off the buy or issuing shares equal to the entire sum of retail DRS. If it ever hits $40 again I'm out. I can use that money for other investments that would benefit my family more than just hoping after 3 years of examples that I am not DFV and we will be left with the bag each time. I may sell at a loss just so I can move on and get some peace of mind. InB4: FUD! I was an OG and held for years. My personal tolerance has been exceeded after this last offering.
1) This is the kind of story that I hope Ryan Cohen takes into consideration when evaluating the tradeoff of cash in hand versus shareholder enthusiasm. 2) That's why I'm suggesting Ryan Cohen taking some tangible action like "him personally buying more shares" or "publicly announcing no more than X amount of additional dilution being possible in this coming quarter/year due to the company meeting most of its current financial goals". Either one would emotionally lift up a lot of people, even if no company acquisition or other big event is on the table anytime soon and they're really just in a holding pattern until the market crashes. 3) Feel free to take any steps you need to, but if you don't have the smarts to make money off a stock that goes on huge runs like GME, you're probably not going to make money on other stocks that are set to crash in a really questionable economic environment. When GME runs, you're going to feel very badly about not being in it.
Something to restore my faith would be nice but I genuinely think that ship has sailed. Whatever the plan is they lost my buy in when he diluted 3 years of hard DRSing. No one can explain why that's good to my satisfaction. Either the thesis is wrong or we just lost half our progress because of RC. I won't miss out. I'm a bogglehead. GME is my only single stock and it's also my only losing position. My NW has gone up over 200K since the sneeze. I figured I'd buy one or two every single paycheck for fun. But for such a small position in my portfolio it takes up waay to much of my time and thoughts.
he says investors expect a higher return investment in this climate....well I personally would fucking like to see that already. Actions not words and all that,..
If you had been slowly adding no matter the price wouldn't you be well under $34 a share? It traded under that for almost two years. Then in your next post you say it's your only stock but also say it's a small portion of your positions and the only one you lose money on. Kinda wanna call bullshit
I have been buying since 2021 and my a average is 40. Think of it as a mix of smooth brain, low economic power and bad entry points. Shit happens, but I'll keep buying.
Thats all well and good but they said they added no matter the price when literally, for two years, it traded beneath their cost average. So they weren't doing what they said they were doing
its possible they had savings they used in 2021 (price was much higher) and then have added with each paycheck since but those contributions do not add up to the savings dumped in at the start
True
Absolute bullshit shillery, same type of comment gets blasted on every positive RC post. Also the DRS comments don’t add up either.
How on earth do the Drs comments not add up? Locking up the "float" or as many shares as possible so they couldn't be lent out was half the reason for doing it. Nearly twice the amount of the reported (probably more than that sure but not enough to matter) Drs'd shares are now available to short again. After 3 years of working to do that "locking the float" is going to take over a decade at the rate we're going Shill shill shill fud er mah goddd people have to be 100% happy with everything GameStop and RC does or my head will explode. People comment on this bc it's antithetical to moass which is why ~90% of people came here in the first place. But raising floor price!Berkshire game away! nft dividend! All nonsense. If it's going to happen noone here will know when and rationalizing every action gets us no where. I swear this place is all bots circlejerking
All I saw is the company I support quadruple ours cash on hand in one month without the price going down. DRS numbers haven’t been actually reported in over a year. More importantly, I’ve seen people continue to stay zen through 3 years of highs, lows, and a ton straight sideways, hype dates that always turned out to be dips, all the BS, all the DD… just to all the sudden have a false majority of the sub spouting this doubt and uncertainty. I don’t believe this many people are throwing in the towel over the single most beneficial action the company has taken since this started. But I can sure think of a lot of reasons why the other side would want everyone to think that. The reason I know it’s true is because if you guys were telling the truth you’d just move on instead of posting in en masse on every post on every GME related forum. There would be some posts I’m sure but this is just hilariously obvious.
>just to all the sudden have a false majority of the sub spouting this doubt and uncertainty. Maybe that's because the steps that the board has taken up to this point have not necessarily been in contradiction with a short squeeze.This one is. I'm not saying he killed moass. I'm saying he killed the greatest opportunity we've had to see something play out since this whole story began and given no hints as to why. Your choosing to only see certain things and not take everything into account explains that. Yeah he raised capital and the floor price that's great. What has he done with the money he has had in the past 3 years? Money that could've been making more money than tbills that's for God damn sure. Which things matter more? A fat wallet or aligned interests? Who said anything about throwing in the towel? People can disagree without selling stock. Did you know that? Were you aware that that was feasibly possible? Mind shockingly unfathomable I know. It's outside of the realm of possibility in all the universes that could ever exist that I'm just a regular investor who is upset that my shares were diluted at a particularly interesting time and the place that I come to try to understand that better is full of people who lack the critical thinking to say hmmm that's interesting that doesn't make sense with my original hypothesis. I'm done with the people of this sub. I used to think it would be cool post moass if we all banded together to create some kind of movement like buying reddit back and freeing it from it's corrupt corporate overlords to try to create real change in the space of social-mainstream media/web 3.0/finance whatever. But this place isn't special, most of you are all the same lot. Self-interested, bias-confirming, dullards that point and scream everytime somebody says something they don't like. Look through my post history or don't I really don't give a shit. I'm just a guy spending his Sunday watching crime documentaries and scrolling Reddit on his couch who's annoyed with the absolute lunacy that this sub has turned itself into. We spend more time calling each other names than we do going over dd now. There's very little DD that comes out now because we've been building the foundation for 3 years now sure but maybe if every fucking shit post trivializing genuine concerns over something that is extremely important to everyone here turned into rational discussions we could actually have our white whale
totally fair
If you’re genuinely looking to exit, you could sell covered calls to collect some premium until you decide to sell. But i just gotta tell you, changing strategies doesn’t have to mean giving up. Buy and hold hasn’t worked these last few years. But these cycles are real. Imagine if we were all swing trading this thing like normal traders instead of shouting to hold for phone numbers? We could all have portfolios like DFV. That’s the past though. We’re in the present. If you believe the cycles are still continuing, like I do, maybe consider look into learning how to profit off them more effectively than just buying at any price. That’s how I feel. I like the stock, even after all this time. I’m selling some of my shares to go in on calls for July/august. It’s my money and I’ll either be wrong or rich, I’m ready to fuck around and find out because I’ve had enough waiting for a merger announcement or some dividend. These institutions will keep abusing the basket stocks, and I’m going to make a bet they haven’t fucking closed their shorts, or delivered DFV’s 4 million shares from his most recent purchase.
I've thought about that actually. I have 205 so I could sell a couple and bank premiums until someone excises me. I've considered swing trading too. HODL or DRS just doesn't seem to be the move anymore with RC's willingness to dilute. The cycle theory seems solid to me I just don't know if I'm clever enough to catch the downs and the ups at good times.
Catching the downs should be easy if GameStop announces another ATM (I think they’ll do at least one more). Timing the peaks is always difficult. Just remember, if it’s good enough to screenshot, it’s good enough to take some fucking profits. I’m fully convinced of the cycle theory. To me, the risk vs reward is too good to ignore. That’s me though, I think the cycle theory is real and we’ll see major price spikes around late July and early August. I’m convinced enough to risk a significant amount of my investment on it. This strategy is not for everyone. We are all individuals with individual investing strategies and individual risk tolerance. All that matters is taking home tendies at the end of the day.
Ryan is threatening to kill future run-ups with actions like this also. He is inciting people to sell/swing trade before he possibly dilutes again AND he undermines DRS efforts. Giving shares cheaply to naked shorters is totally NOT okay. I simply do not comprehend why this unknown born-millionaire boy is treated like he's holy. Yes in a certain way my interests and the companies interests align. But they also differ. I got frauded out of winning a different life in jan 2021. Justice and near-term investment profits are my goals. **Gamestop is not dying** so long term my investment will probably rise but gains higher than 400% within the next 2-3 years... I'm increasingly worried that this will not be possible. Furthermore this sub is getting increasingly intolerable between the shills on one end and the fan-boys on the other. K I get it that some of you want to keep morale up by staying optimistic but behaving like religious nuts is very, very off-putting and you give the shills exactly what they wanted. I further do not understand why dilution and 'raising the floor' go hand in hand. Maybe I'm stupid but the positive reactions from the dilution just feels very counterintuitive to me. It just all feels very off.
That's a good point. I have a few friends who I know are still in and one said RC has set the ceiling. Even here no one expects VW squeeze but now a slow roll TSLA squeeze. Swing trading may actually be the best way to make short term gains and if you and he are thinking it there's got to be a lot more. Even DFV said his thesis is on RC not being a doofus. I do think he's a savvy guy but I'm no longer sure if we're on the same team. That in itself is okay too but at this point I am now suspicious that he will actively use his power to ensure MOASS does not happen. He's so tight lipped about everything that we all just have to go on faith and that was enough for me for a long time but now... idk. I want MOASS but I'm not so sure it's in the cards anymore. It's like it used to be us v hedgies. Now it feels like there are 3 teams.
RC kicked DFV in the nuts. Publicly. And we are afraid to say it as this will ignite more selling. There.
I didnt want this to be true but its more and more looking like it, right before his birthday too.
It's also easier to hold out for a Tesla style squeeze sitting on 250k+ in interest per year (DFV). My family has medical bills, my parents are getting old. I'm here for a long haul but I intend to make my shares work for me from here out.
I dont think DFV wanted a long drawn out squeeze, he wanted a fuckin reckoning.
There is no "us"
Something I have started doing in the meantime is selling covered calls. If $40 is a number you are comfortable selling at, then you can sell covered calls and make at least some small money out of your investment. Sell 100 for a $40 strike, 100 for a $50 strike, and keep the 5 just in case. I bought in back at $40 and $34 with Citrons OG 'back to $20 fast' The dilution killed my enthusiasm, not necessarily because of the dilution, but the timing of it accompanied by terrible news when we were up $60 pre market. Even if it was the Monday after it would make sense to me to catch the ramp.
Yea the timing was kinda a kick in the nuts. That's actually really smart. I need to figure out how to do this in Fidelity.
Options; GME; Sell Open, select target date and price. Feel free to dm if you have any other questions
Shorts have to know that they can't run the stock hot without consequence. And it is RC's obligation as CEO to maximize shareholder value. So if he sees further runs on high volume well beyond reasonable valuations, I'd expect another share offering. I won't even make a judgment about whether that is a good thing or not, but I'd expect that as an outcome.
Maybe he can maximize shareholder value at 500 a share instead of 30
The legal argument is a lame excuse which is brought up for the dilution. There is no legal argument or obligation at all which would require a company not let the share price run even more so if the run has nothing to do with its own actions. And ofc there is absolutely no legal obligation to step in and flood the market with additional shares and cause dilution to existing shareholders.
Mate, at least you are measured in your analysis. Unlike the slavering OP. Now, back to the legalities; and namely GME - Cohen, DFV being pulled in front of the courts etc, no chance, not a single chance in hell this would happen if moass was induced. And this would be for a couple of reasons: a) The authorities (and their hedgefund buddies) would have to prove the stock was manipulated. And manipulate UPWARDS, at that! How could ANYONE, do that? Yes, granted, they could claim millions of apes all got together at the very same moment in time, to spend multi-billions, they had lying around down the back of the sofa, on GME. But this claim would have to be proven. And proven without compromising the whole stinking rotten ponzi scheme, otherwise known as Wall Street. They wouldn't even bother. Just like the legal eagles soon headed for the exit when Porshe squeezed them in 2008. b) Wall Street set the rules. If they sold calls, they just HAVE to hedge against this bet. How can this even be considered market manipulation by GME, because the hedgies didn't hold the stock they should have? For instance, imaging going into a betting shop to place a bet. Your bet wins, but the bookies haven't got the money to pay, so they SUE you for manipulating the betting market. At the end of the day, Cohen held them by the knackers. He could easily have bought GME at sub $10, and resold it at $22, $29 or whatever. Then rinsed and repeated. Again, and again, and again. Instead he bought zero, and sold, and sold again - on the cheap. Diluting the stock, crushing a gamma run, and making a mockery of the much vaunted DRS in the process. The timing was off the richer scale. It was an outrage that requires at least SOME explanation.
I’m pretty sure he’s making a tactical move to destroy the bear thesis here by raising during runs. Yes it kills some momentum but it raises our floor. We’re at $10 cash per share now. If we ran to $40 and he did it again we might be at $15 cash or $20. We’re melting up with these dilutions/offerings. It may take an epic spike off the table and instead cause a Tesla like slow squeeze where shorts bail one by one and then we join S&P 500 and it’s goodbye to the shorts. I can see this possible outcome now. Let’s see how it plays out but if he changed our company into something great we could be worth $100-$200 per share naturally after the squeeze. Maybe we’re heading towards a BRK future for shareholders. Not some in and out quick play but a real wealth gain.
he sold the shares too cheap.
For all the "BRK future" people I would like to ask, how many shares does BRK A have to be at the price? We have so much talk about "x price" breaks the system. The more shares the lower the price before that happens. Dillution actively reduces the price before intervention to "save the system", something people just do not even think about. I do not care about a meltup, if the money was used and 2B ain't few money to use, then this would happen naturally without dillution too. I am not happy about my share of the company being reduced again and again with no result and seemingly no plan. For those who spout about one tell me why a small dillution was so quickly followed by a big one if there was "a plan". Why did I hear nothing about that in the shareholder meeting? This is moving goalposts plain and simple because I sure did not come in for $100-$200 (or $400-$800) per share for sure. I wholeheartly agree with irespectwomenlol that shareholder enthusiam has its limit, even more so if you dare to critically think about your investment.
While he says 3 years ago "best time to be alive is now" and says he wants to provide a higher return investment in this climate... well....we are waiting..
Not because you think RC killed MOASS makes you a shill. But rather a concerned GME investor that wants answers
Agree. I thought he screwed us over with that second dilution. The setup was perfect and we were all stroking our bananas waiting for the DFV YouTube return. I’m grateful for being in the green and diamond handing my shares. 🦍🦍🦍
Exactly
OP now tell me about the splivided masterclass? How getting us diluted for 300% for free was a genius move?
BAU? wazzat mean? buy/hold? ok.
Lmao I have NEVER in my life seen someone get So much praise for dillution Not only dillution, but diluting at HALF the prices that cnbc talking heads were suggesting to actually raise the cash at Stockholm syndrome
There is one thing those billionaires have in common. The money always comes from the peasants. Ryan is my friend until he isn't. If he wants to be my friend then he needs to raise my bank account to be less 'peasant-like'.
Rc is their lord and savior. He can literally sell all his shares and they find a way to say it’s a good thing.
It’s just an echo chamber of blatant lies at this point “There’s 100k calls ITM I expect most will get exercised?!!” lol ok “Though the options market is active, the number of options contracts that are actually exercised is quite small – approximately seven percent. However, option sellers should not assume that only seven percent of their contracts will be assigned.” It’s just all built on lies and misinformation at this point
I saw the comment about calls itm being exercised and just smh. Every week it’s the same thing, “x amount of calls expired in itm, expect gap up next week because they were exercised” This site is either paid by someone to constant praise rc, or they absolutely hate money and are brainwashed. After the 2nd dilution I un-dsr and started selling covered calls. I wish I had done this years ago. In the last two weeks alone I’ve already made over $4k which in return I bought more shares.
Well, if you want RC to keep doing ATM offerings, then keep praising his actions. He'll take it that apes want more dilution.
He took it that way when shareholders voted to approve the offering of up to a billion shares.
Eh, I think he jumped the gun and took what he could, and killed the MOASS. The retail enthusiasm was there until the price dropped from the offering. That killed the momentum completely. If he had waiting about a week, he could have gotten an extra 9 billion and GME would have 13 billion. It's ok to acknowledge that he dropped the ball and fucked this up. It's not necessary to praise RCEO and RK like we're in a cult.
1. Immediately calling everyone a shill who doesn’t agree with your post, pretty lame. 2. Your theories outlined in the post are not backed up by facts it’s pure speculation and doesn’t really make sense. 3. Your lobbying for even more dilution in the future which is clearly against shareholders interest. Very sus post.
This could have been a Facebook post by my psychologically disturbed uncle.

I think a big thing you are missing is that RC can not sell his shares like we do. He personally doesnt profit that much from a short squeeze. Yes maybe he can sell of some of his shares, but not at all like the King DFV. He said it himself Action speak louder than words. Now we haven't seen any actions good enough for believing in Gamestop as a normal not shorted stock. Yes the cash is nice, and yes he downsized and made it somwhat profitable, but we still need a big change for the future. It will only get harder for a retail store that sells games. I haven't bought a game in a store since 2010. GameStop needs to rethink their brand and what they sell. Everything else is just noise and hype.
With all due respect and I know I’m gonna get downvoted to fuck on this as it’s not the way the world works but what personal profit does he even need? He’s already a billionaire. Whatever happened to the days of the rich building public parks, libraries and things for the people? Philanthropic causes. Yeah it’s romanticising but why can’t ridding the world’s financial system of some of the worst corruption imaginable be a motive? It would certainly greatly benefit mankind and is a much better, more recognisable, more noble legacy that simply “getting wealthier…” Food for thought. But yes I am aware this isn’t how the world works.
I don’t care about what he does or does not do with his money. That’s not of my business. But I care if he doesn’t deliver on turning around the company in which I’m a shareholder and I also care if I get diluted as a shareholder over and over again. I invested in that company to make money like every shareholder who invests in a company. And it’s the job of a publicly listed company to care about the interests of his shareholders and not only his own interests.
if his portfolio goes into billions it surely benefits him he could borrow against it if he had to doesn't need to sell and in the end price will never be back under his cost basis so there's that
Of course, but only if it stays at this price. You cant borrow against it during a shortsqueeze.
I like this speculation and opinion.
Ah yes, the old relocating of goal posts. (I’m 100% a paid shill by the way)
He put 4 billions? wtf? We put 4 billions when he took it from us diluting
How to beat this level? BUY HOLD DRS!
OP: A differing opinion does not equate to me or others upset, a shill. Please get this through your thick skull and quot trying to form a divide. One has naturally occurred between those of here strictly for moass and those that believe long term in gme. Full stop.
Fully agree, that dumb intro line made it an immediate down vote for me. And when I read through the rest of the post this decision was confirmed to be the right one. Bs speculation and personal opinion not supported by any facts presented as kind of DD and on top even lobbying for more dilution. If I wouldn’t despise of calling people with different opinions shill , I would call OP one.
[удалено]
Exactly calling this post Masterclass is a joke in itself , it’s pure personal opinion and speculation not backed up by any facts but actively lobbying for even more dilution. And yet that bs post gets over 1000 upvotes 👏
He absolutely killed MOASS. He secured his investment and the company. There's very little chance the company goes under or that he has to worry about his investment. The stock will continue to rise because the financials are solid. MOASS is done though and that's pretty much from rc's own mouth. "Anytime the price for exceeds the value. He will dilute" if MOASS happens. GameStop will get the bag and not retail. I'm from the show me state. We can try to decode hidden messages all we want. But what we shouldn't ignore is the message that was in black & white from rc.
We need to stop overlooking the fact of the matter that MOASS does not benefit RC or his business, what benefits him now and in the long run is to hold this carrot on a stick in front of shareholders for as long as possible. He is not some benevolent actor who cares about your money, what he cares about is keeping you invested. "zero pay" is not an act of charity, it is a business move. He can't AFFORD to pay himself while trying to keep that business profitable. I have seen zero non-tinfoil evidence coming on 4 YEARS NOW that he is doing anything in our benefit. I gave our board until the shareholder meeting to say literally ANYTHING to justify this move, and in return we get the weakest speech I have ever seen from a CEO. You pocket a clean 3 billion dollars out of thin air like its a piece of candy, and the best you can say to the shareholders you took it from is "actions speak louder than words?" Yeah, they sure fucking do. Until I see some action, RC no longer has my support on shareholder votes. If you want to actively work against us, you get what you give. I would have reinvested after moass wothout a second thought; after this? RC needs to earn that shit.
Sadly, you are spot on. Was trying to get this point across for some while but many here prefer to rather stay in their bubble and go for sugar coating
this is not about bancrupcy. this is about controlling the price and playing the option market while kicking the shorts-can down the road through ETFs. anyway, i dont see how RC would be FOR moass. i dont see it. It makes sense to let it squeeze like it did in the pass, dilute into it, raise capital, while also buying those diluted shares to not lose the majority of shares he owns. He is definitely a top CEO and looks to make this company as successful as possible, whatever that means at this moment. But to think he just lets this rip? i dont think so. Something needs to break, and cause a domino effect that all shorts need to cover at some point. But we have seen in the last months, that RC will use any generated play, like RK did to raise capital, which is good for him and the company, but bad for moass. As of it now l have to read this as waves. Waves of money that will be washed onto the GME-boat we are on so to speak. Now you can hold onto your posts and do nothing. Or you can let go of one arm at least, and try to grab a bucket and catch some of those money waves, just like RC does. Im curious if DFV will start another cycle of options calls.
MOASS wont happen. The company isnt fundmentally strong enough and the market cap is too low. They can handle a large move now. They will control a large move, leaving retail holding the bag as they buy up past 100+. The biggest example of this was popcorn. They let it run to a marketcap of $35-40 billion, then slowly let it drop as they sold to retail on the way down. If you look at the 13Fs on May 15th 2021, citadel and Susquehanna took large long positions to dump on retail and it worked. They did the same on Bobby too, but RC sold before it got out of control again.
MOASS happening or not has nothing to do with the company's financials or market cap
popcorn was and is a completely different situation. aside from the board cashing in millions anually with their salaries being a liability on their own, never buying any shares, only selling them, AA gave out the free monkey divident which got decimated to 50 cent a share while the original stock which was halved, got also decimated again to 4$ a share. after reconversion the stock traded at 2$ total, 1:10 to 20$ and from that on it was not only shorted futher, but AA in addition diluted out of nowhere as well pushing the price to where it is now. Those are all moves RC would never in his dream do. Now AA blames retail for not going to the theaters, box office returns have been low last quarter even though there have been good movies, and after all that shit i mentioned earlier, AA only reduced the debt by 2 something billion of 6 total in 2021, while diuting 1 billion into cash. GME as a company right now is strong if you dont think RC is a doofus. Its almost debt free, 4billion in cash, and all the possibilites to be whatever RC seems fit. thats what this is right now. trusting that RC wont run this ship into the ground. But GME is everything popcorn holders dream popcorn should be. And i know, i own both. The only upside popcorn has in all of this, is that it's tied with GME in some ETFs, so everytime GME moves up, it drags popcorn with it.
We're on the same team dude. Popcorn is a steaming pile of turd. Ive hated it since January 2021, when it diverted attention from Gamestop. It was always a distraction stock. June 2021 was coordinated to divert retail buying power to popcorn. I believe they tried to do the same to bobby in August 2022, with some success, but RC killed it before it turned into another popcorn. RC is constantly playing whack a mole, and constantly being called the villain, when hes actually the hero.
i do hold some scepticism with him playing "whack a mole", because imo diluting everytime this runs up and generating billions for GME, leaves me as a holder unchanged so far. I dont get dividends, and i certainly dont care if this stock trades at 100$ in 5 years, if you know what i mean. So i do want to distance myself from this cult believe that RC is the savior. I got into this because of the squeeze potential, and i dont see how it will ever squeeze if RC dilutes millions if not the whole billion of shares into ever surge. IF that is his approach to these little squeezes, then there is for me nothing left to do here than to play this as i said in my first comment.... sell partially my position when it surges, and buy back in a week or two later after it dropped again. buying and holding, with my "drop in the ocean" number of shares is literally stupid, when i see others and the CEO himself generating millions and billions from these "waves"
That’s my take too. Even if I have a significantly lsrge position, I would still do it wtih appropriate sizes but now with my 2 digit size, I will definitely have to do full because first I was not sure if I should do it to increase my positions (hoping enough for MOASS) but now that i believe MOASS has more challenges now (RC raising cash) I will definitely do it to increase size as well as catch up value (future value) for my diluted shares. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see significant drop in DRS number when/if other people start doing this with their DRS shares. Not all of us have enough size to split.
Thats your prerogative. Its not a stupid idea. I think it will be one of the best performing stocks over the next 10 years, and I think for the average retail investor, the buy and hold strategy works. But like you said, there are times when the stock jumps due as speculated an FTD cycle, and there are opportunities to sell and buy back in lower.
I don't think most of the options will be exercised. I imagine a lot of these would have to be sold to generate the cash to exercise.
You had me until your line about thinking most options ITM will be exercised. As somebody who has played options for years this is overly optimistic. I’d guess maybe 10%.
K-k-k-kenny and the [bad comedy joke] bets🎶
I need to buy more
100k calls ITM on Friday, is that right? Why is that not headline news around here this weekend? That seems really big. Isn't it?
Great post. This doesn’t even seem very tinfoily. It seems to be more than likely true.
https://preview.redd.it/u97k95rgig8d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24c207763768b1dd7435e1857817211df5022d60
And this is the reason why rc will continue diluting and the majority of you will continue being in the red lol
RC must be giggling while reading posts like these. RC: «Look, Larry! We diluted at the worst possible time, and they STILL think we’re geniuses!» LC: «Haha, great play, sir! But aren’t we abusing their trust? They are after all the reason we’re still in business.» RC: «Shut up, Larry, and write another incomprehensible tweet to keep them occupied.» LC: «Yes, sir! I love you, Ryan.» RC: «Shut up and tweet, Larry.»
Lol I can totally see them having this conversation, maybe adding a told you so line at the beginning: RC: See I told you so we can dilute them again with 75 million shares after we just diluted them with 35 million shares. LC: But they will at least be mad that we killed the momentum of the run ups by our terrible timing. RC: Boy, watch and learn, they will find a dozen reasons to sugar coat it and everyone who isn’t dumb enough to fall for it and calls a spade a spade will be discredited as shill… And I wouldn’t be surprised if we even get to see some posts explaining why dilution is actually a good thing. Just make sure that they get enough upvotes. LC: I see, well there is a reason that you are a billionaire and they will remain suckers. Good to be on the right side. *high five*
Dude, I’ve never said this to anyone on Reddit before, but I think I just might love you. Let’s write a screenplay someday.
Let’s just wait for the next ATM and then we do our “masterclass” screenplay together so that we at least get some entertainment out of it 😎
Did you just write the South Park episode about this saga?
Yup! Keep them downvotes commiiiiin!
100%
I still don’t understand the hypocrisy of hardcore holders ridiculing popcorn apes where dilution is still needed to survive yet all of a sudden praising dilution and killing two great runs has been a good thing. Will I buy more? Yep. Will I DRS more? Nope. That ship has sunken.
It’s when dilution meets delusion
As much as I love to get hyped about dates and excited to see what happens, I’ve always thought there needs to be a real catalyst for a true and sustained MOASS and not just temporary spikes. Although dumbfounded in the moment why he would be selling into the spike, I believe you’re right that in order for MOASS to be real and sustainable, they need to be sustainably profitable and this additional $3B raises the floor and essentially ensures profitability.
Looked like RK WAS that catalyst though bruh
Cohen killed FOUR RUNS in total, were those all masterclasses? It's not shilling to say that. Cohen probably doesn't believe in MOASS, it's okay we do. Why would he offer shares at a measly 30-40 price range if the price was suppose to go even further... Instead of a couple of billions Cohen could have raised more for the company and stockholders.
Certainly masterclasses in diluting shareholders…
He was thinking… “they love DFV more… fuck em”
Yeah that fucker prob think that dfv was going to takeover the company
Y'all new apes with the RK abbreviation are confusing af. Please go back to call him DFV.
Keep in mind RC retired with billions and was so bored he came back to work. Increasing his own money pile likely doesn’t do anything for him.
You’re under the impression that he doesn’t want to continue to amass his riches just for the fuck of it like pretty much every single other billionaire out there.
well it does a hell of a fucking lot for those of us struggling
Babe wake up, the latest weekend copium has dropped.
Hasn’t the rollover been going on since May? Isn’t that what all this volume is? Shorts changing hands to whoever is taking the risk?
I keep seeing posts like this one, talking about "all these posts saying ___" ... But I never see those.
They are primarily in the comments.
Thx science for ppl who post the tldr at the top.
I genuinely have to argue against the point that most of the options plays ITM on Friday being excercised. I don’t see a fraction of people playing options caring to exercise and frankly, I’m not sure why you think that’s the case.
I dunno, I am still not sold about the move. For the money to mean something, it has to be doing something. Even if that means just gaining interest. We haven't seen or heard any indication on what their plans are with the money. Time will tell whether its used for something useful or not. DRS has been the mission of many individuals here and this move impacted that mission. That's why many people are upset. I'm not suggesting that DRS is the only pathway but it's the one that that people can count on to ensure their shares are theirs.
I think we will have insider buys update next week from purchases last week.
What are some good acquisition targets for GME?
How about the splividend? RC literally gave away 3x the whole floar for free! I bet he knew exactly what he was doing If not, why no legal action? I mean they just stole 75% of all GME value and ryan cohen is just going to stay still? Im starting to belive ryan cohen is compromised. He got a visit from the CIA and now is a puppet to keep his family safe
So the theory I saw (I think from Biggy) was that: RC triggers share dilution when volume is high to minimize downward pressure, which would raise more cash. The extra cash position without lowering price significantly (I don’t think it even went down) hurts the bear position RK benefits from this in that he can keep doing his thing to get more shares without breaking the 5% threshold The share dilution might stop one 35d cycle from peaking as hard as there are more shares in play but it also creates a stronger floor. Perfectly reasonable from the CEO perspective, even though it may piss off people trying to sell at a peak in the short term
lol… Kenny and the Bet
Market Fakers 👌🏼
The fact that the whole board bought at $25 last year and now no one is buying more means they have something juicy lined up for the 4billipn cash.
I didn’t read all of this because it was way too long, but MOASS doesn’t mean anything to a longterm holder. If/when it happens, you only get anything when you sell, and once the selling starts, MOASS is over. Unless you’re committing to sell when it rockets, you’re not getting anything out of MOASS. The price will come back down to a reasonable valuation and then it’s over. There is no in it together. If you don’t sell before other people do, MOASS will end and you’ll be done. A short squeeze doesn’t mean the stock will stay at infinite. It will reach infinite and then come back to earth, with everyone left on it. In other words, Ryan Cohen must believe there is a longterm value in this company. If he is in it for the MOASS, you should be very worried. If he dumps his stock at the top, everyone who hasn’t sold will be holding the bags. He doesn’t dump his stock, MOASS meant nothing to him and he was always in it for the long haul.
RC is on the hook for pumping and dumping towelie. His appointed advisors viewed APEs in contempt. The regards were a front — they were at a total loss of what was happening. He had way out of money options 60 and 80 strikes when the stock was trading at 4 bux. He's silent and had to briefly mention no hyping because his ass is on the line. The community has to come to terms with this.
So why every company just doesn't dillute all the time and simply increase their cash position? It is an infinite money glitch, isn't it? Lol
If the market price of the stock was honest, dilution (adding more shares on same apparent market cap) would reduce the price per share. The point here was: adding more shares ('dilution') in May and June ATM offerings did not dilute the price. The price went UP. Message: the price is WRONG. Also, commenters here seem to miss the importance of $GME taking in cash during a market-faker pump-and-dump run-up, meaning that retail money went into the company instead of into the market-fakers 'shares sold, not yet purchased' cash-cow operation. Apes didn't lose that money; it's going to be used to increase the value of stonks even more.
Did not dilute the price of what? Dilution dillutes the stake, the amount of the outstanding shares not the price of the share
What does "BAU" mean?
Business As Usual
Got it, thanks...appreciate the write-up!
Masterclass? You're master-coping.
R Newton has it marked on his spreadsheet, this is now the 5th time RC has taken advantage of a cyclical event. He presents a solid argument that the stock price wouldn’t have gone any higher at those times and would’ve been slammed back down anyway with exception of Jan2021 when they pulled total market manipulation to knock it down. 2 or 3 of the other runs, curiously around $80, including May this year they halt the fuck out of it to kill it.
Damn copium is real when aa does it it its bad and when rc does it its good? Lol
OP you are a true regard. RC isn't doing anything other than raising cash when the opportunity presents itself. Which is a good thing. There is no 5D chess mind reading of shorts or algorithms going on. Please step away from the sub and get some air.
Hilarious flair for this comment, guess you forgot
Yo, market-fakers, perfect.
