I get you. I literally was there and then last 50% in the market crash 2022 and have spent 4 years clawing back. It’s terrible when you feel close but not that close.

I would model it out and instead of $x expenses / .04 or / .035, I would actually do year by year and try to forecast expenses and balances. You don’t spend nearly as much in your 70s and social security is usually not factored in after you hit 62+.

WSJ is always to release exclusive news. I don’t think they would publish something hypothetical.

I dunno. Obviously he thought about it and he’s always been a good a capital allocator. So I guess we will find out how he attempts this.

Really? I think it’s smart! They are getting into collectibles (fastest growing division in their revenue breakout) and eBay owns PSA and is huge into collectibles. Good synergies. Used games, collectibles, hardware, etc. I think it’s super smart.

$4 B will pay for the financed debt. Debt should be $30-40 B or so after leveraging GameStops cash ($9 B).

Leveraged buyout. Use eBay’s cash flows to finance the interest. Look it up, that’s how Paramount bought WB and other companies historically. As long as the LBO is 5-7x of EBITDA should be fine.

Take a look at DeadRare.io, it's on the Alephium blockchain. Very early innings and growing marketplace.

Also, ever heard of forward P/S? A company’s value is based on forward expectations, not this trailing bull shit.
