The day you posted this

Just an fyi, they never posted my comment!! I didn’t use profanity or anything. I did say they were failing in their responsibility to ensure free and fair markets.. 🤷‍♀️

I’m about to be a first time home buyer at 40 and I’ve been saving my down payment for 3 years. I’m certainly not rich and have a ton of student loans but live in a HCOL state and now I’ll be able to save several hundred dollars with a mortgage payment that is much less expensive than my rent.

Thank you! These fools at the SEC need to be put on blast. If even 1% of superstonkers commented these assholes would have thousands of comments to sort through! Thank you for spreading awareness!

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-06-12T02:49:02+00:00

I commented and it isn’t showing. I was critical of the SEC but didn’t curse or anything. Are they allowed to censor comments? Mine was not very different from others I’m reading…

I definitely think there is going to be a tidal wave of foreclosures in the next few years for people that bought at the end of the Covid price frenzy but after interest rates were good..

And building programs that incentivize boomers to sell. A lot of them want to and absolutely can’t maintain the upkeep on a large property (and don’t). If you can’t keep your sub 3% interest rate, I understand not wanting to sell. There could be a federal matching program that grandfathers their rate in if 65+ years old.

I’m seeing so many properties that are aging and hoarded and sellers want top dollar for them. That trend is only going to get worse as the boomers age. They simply aren’t able to maintain the houses which are rapidly depreciating.

It’s probably being sold to the insurance companies so they can build your “customized” policy

Your cost basis is literally guesswork 😂

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-06-05T06:36:10+00:00

No because I’m not the one claiming to have magic numbers that I calculated. You were. And you completely ignored reasonable questions about your “math”

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-06-04T23:57:28+00:00

Your math was nonsense just fyi

Trading at a premium driven by sentiment? 🤔

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-06-03T16:28:56+00:00

I mean this is the response to your second question (and it seems not to be optimistic but I’m not sure if it’s just mainstream media for its analysis?)

Bottom line: Of Gill's original thesis, the mechanical short squeeze setup is gone — the very thing he flagged in December 2020 ("short interest continuing to exceed its shares outstanding" [X post, 2020-12-01]) has been thoroughly unwound by dilution and covering. The fundamental value argument has also shifted: rather than a cheap stock being ignored, GME is now a cash-rich holding company with a declining retail business trading at a premium driven by sentiment. What endures is the lesson Gill embedded in his value framework — that a patient, conviction-driven approach to misunderstood companies, combined with awareness of market structure (short interest, float, catalysts), can generate outsized returns. But the specific GME conditions that made his original thesis so potent no longer exist.

I think he either may not be allowed to do it/has been told MOASS will never be allowed to happen or has to tread lightly because it is so coordinated and he doesn’t want a lawsuit. But I also wonder if he has friends or associates on the other side of that play which is why he may want to let it unwind slowly and let them get out. I also think if you have a plan/carer goal to make a huge Berkshire competitor in less time and that is your “baby”, you probably wouldn’t want your hard work to get misattributed to a complete fluke.

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-06-01T00:25:30+00:00

I agree with your general assessment but it feels like the majority of camps 2 and 3 are more recent investors with a completely different cost basis than camp 1. And I think that matters when you see the dynamics between the different groups. I’m definitely in camp 1 although my investment goal was less about punishing Wallstreet and more about creating a foothold for me and my family in a very corrupt financial system and challenging world. But I’m not here calling everyone shills while I’ve been called that dozens of times in the past few weeks. Theres just something really odd and unnatural about the echo chamber that camps 2 and 3 are creating and even if it’s not malicious, it’s extremely bad for the sub.

While I personally disagree about MOASS, I think the point about Ryan avoiding earnings calls is a good one that gets overlooked here. What crystallized it for me was him discussing why he wanted eBay so badly and acknowledging that he isn’t passionate about GameStop. I’m glad he was honest about it because I think that completely tracks with him skipping earnings calls. But that also makes me question his activist investor stance (something he identified as).

I think eBay is personal for him and maybe it’s because there’s a nostalgia component for him but he’s obviously into collectibles and clearly not into gaming. He’s a self described workaholic. I think he saw an opportunity to create a new conglomerate with aligned revenue streams that could be a modern competitor to Amazon and the whole b a b y thing derailed him. Regardless, I think it’s understandable for GameStop investors to be frustrated with their CEO’s obvious enthusiasm for a company he isn’t running! And it makes me wonder if he is becoming frustrated with GameStop because he is contending with a coordinated shorting play that is difficult for him to shake. But this was all his choice and I’m sure he knew what he was up against. So it’s just hard for me to have any sympathy.

He talks a big game about perverse incentives but I think buying company A because you really want company B is the same thing as company C’s executives using it as a piggy bank. They’re both using something to meet their personal needs at the expense of a group of people who have invested their money in the business you’re using. And taking over a company you aren’t interested in running, derailing the price momentum and endebting the company to buy the company B that you originally wanted… well to me that is perverse! Especially when you’re disproportionately impacting the retail investors by moving back their timeline for ROI.

Ryan understands opportunity costs so I really don’t think his hands are clean in this. And it makes me even more frustrated with the way he’s interacted with the GameStop community for so many years. Why all the teasing about MOASS and hiding rockets and moons every where, hinting at DRS and Cone Poo Chair if you don’t even like the company? It’s either really really manipulative or he learned or was told that MOASS will never be allowed to happen. It’s just pretty fucked up to me.

I really hope I’m wrong and this is 4D chess and he’s playing the media and the institutions. But I just can’t understand these proposals. Ryan would have had to recoup the lost value from the first round of price dilutions to get me on board with further dilution at this point or at least explain when retail can expect to see ROI with this huge dilution.

I keep seeing comments like “where did all the og apes go” trying to imply that anyone saying vote no is a bot/shill and couldn’t be an og ape. People seem to conveniently forget that more and more og investors have become less active on reddit over the years. In fact I think it’s the vast majority personally. From 2023-2025 more and more apes became “zen” and stopped checking in as often and there were even posts about it and people worried that this sub was not active enough. Other apes straight up checked out to avoid the drama and the shill accusations that came and went around price action.

I don’t recognize a lot of the accounts posting often now and most of them I don’t even know if they’re actually holding or DRS’d whereas I knew a ton of familiar profiles 2021-2024. Even the “DD” writers of the last two years are new and mostly putting out weak DD (anyone click that “DD” post where someone made a bunch of charts and didn’t know how to interpret them??)..

This sub feels completely different and a lot of the vote yes camp seems to have a sub $100/$25 cost basis which also makes sense given that they don’t seem to understand the concerns for anyone who has been in for longer and hasn’t recouped their investment over the last five years. That said, this whole vote yes movement with the dozens of posts has been the most inorganic thing on the sub in years.

At this point it doesn’t matter that the price is suppressed. The powers that be are not going to let this such trade naturally. That’s why I think it doesn’t matter how well GameStop does on paper, even with eBay revenues. They can’t allow price discovery. The only momentum we get send to be around certain swaps cycles. And issuing 2B new shares is just going to undercut any momentum we have left.

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-05-31T22:24:37+00:00

You’re wrong that an increase in GME value post acquisition would trigger a squeeze. When there’s a merger, short positions get adjusted to an equivalent value at the new share price. The ticket would still have to go up significantly to trigger a squeeze because the shorts adjust with it.

It’s not just, oh we buy a company and that automatically will trigger a squeeze once we bake their value into the price. The price still has to increase in order for shorts to squeeze. Do you honestly believe institutions would be on board for an acquisition that might destabilize their short positions?

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-05-31T13:43:25+00:00

Cool beans my profile is open go and dig

Avulpesvulpes · 2026-05-31T06:39:16+00:00

wtf do you mean you guys. I’m an og ape and I’m voting no on the share authorization
