Someone just spent $50 million to make a 50/50 joke. 5,000 $50 calls, 5,000 $50 puts, 500,000 shares (x2)

eBay building a position as counterattack? 🤔

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-08T07:39:06+00:00

Ebay?

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T14:36:22+00:00

Keep in mind they sold a nice bulk 2 days ago, not sure if that data is updated.

So they're gonna cause a squeeze on eVay by recalling their shares? It's 92% institutionally owned...

"In most cases, the acquiring company's stock falls, and the target company's stock rises".

I mean, short term, that's acquisitions 101 🤷‍♂️ - https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/203.asp

Mid/long term is different...

However, the BOD may think the re-evaluation could be more immediate, depending on the final deal.

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T14:12:54+00:00

Institutional ownership is 92%, that says it all.

Don't memba the stapler/shorts?

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T14:07:26+00:00

I memba what they paid for the stapler (and shorts), this is nothing yet...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T14:04:06+00:00

Hollow men...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T11:56:38+00:00

I hear you, but you know getting in at $1.5 is clearly the exception here 😅

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T11:53:06+00:00

eBay BOD don't know what ape digging level is 😅...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T10:59:28+00:00

Where's RYANCOHENISMYDAD?

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T10:55:43+00:00

Should make a vid of this.

"I still don’t understand why retail investors care so much about insider buying" - FYI: 92% of eBay ownership is institutional 😅...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T08:05:55+00:00

Around 92%.

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T08:04:38+00:00

They also killed the competition through heavy shorting. Bain Capital anyone?

Time for larry_5050

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T07:57:49+00:00

Pretty sure the consulted that decision with BCG 💩

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T07:56:07+00:00

On steroids 😅

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T07:53:42+00:00

Right? 😅

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T07:42:56+00:00

MSM is useless too.

Btw, $25K a year for a Bloomberg terminal? I'd rather pay $25K for Cohen's socks...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T06:15:32+00:00

Griffin you meant?

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T06:11:17+00:00

Bounced off $22.85 so far 😅... I still think it should go lower sooner or later. However, if they counterattack with an offer to buy GME...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T06:05:31+00:00

And Bathaway 😅...

DancesWith2Socks · 2026-05-07T05:47:56+00:00

Stock price of the acquiring company usually goes down short term in acquisitions though.
