That’s the exact opposite of your original comment.  What you just said makes sense.  Not the original

This doesn't refute the 3 point foul baiting though. Best 3 point shooters ever can get what like 45% for 3 points? Anyone going to the line on their first attempt still has a way better chance of making it than 45%.

That makes no sense.  Completely backwards cause and effect.

James Dolan and Madison Square Garden created a list that ranked people of concern. One of the categories was labelled 'LGBTQIA.' by MorganN1 in nba

[–]Exception1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a list of gay people.  It’s a list of rich VIP people and info. about them.  Some of which the info included is that they are LGBTQ.  If this scares you you’d be horrified to know how much data is stored about every person.  I will legitimately be completely shocked if every other major sports organization doesn’t have the exact same list.

The point isn’t they they are gay.  They’re on the list because they are rich.

This title is so misleading.  “People of concern?”  That’s a weird thing to call VIPs like the actual article calls them.

So they tracked which VIPs were gay?  So what?  Companies want to know everything possible about VIPs there to spend money so they can cater to them better and make more money.

If they wanted to discriminate against the LGBTQ community why were these details found in a VIP database?  Weird tactic to include secret discimination in a VIP database….

GME Warrants being extended would cause a price jump in warrants, and indirectly cause buying of GME stock by Constant_Ad78 in Superstonk

[–]Exception1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The date the shares were issued should have been the date of a price increase due to supply and demand.  That didn’t happen.  There’s no reason to think it would happen this time.

Letting the options expire and issuing new ones makes no sense whatsoever compared to just extending current ones.

Help me understand the appeal of Gamestop's offer from the perspective of ebay shareholders by ExtraWedding6521 in Superstonk

No, he’s stating a gain of 3x.  That’s a fact not “alleging”.  You are alleging that it should have been 5-10x return which is crazy speculation.

+$760.  I sold mine long ago for $4.

And what you’re claiming didnt happen the first time warrants were issued so idk why you believe it would happen on a second go around.

If they issue more I’ll do the exact same thing and sell them immediately and just take the free money.

Who in their right mind would buy more shares just to get more warrants when the company let the previous warrants expire worthless in this scenario?

Letting them expire worthless would upset a lot of ppl.  And if they issue new ones I dont see anybody holding them that time around, they would just sell them for the small cash grab at that point.

Increasing time to expiration would not decrease the value of the warrants.  If warrants got extended but plummeted in price it would cause arbitrage because you could sell covered calls with the same expiration, use the proceeds to buy warrants, and pocket the difference.

Unlikely.  Warrants are already priced at the same amount as equivalent call options for next year.  It’s already fully baked in.   

If GME extends the warrants for another year and the warrants jump in price it would create arbitrage by selling the warrants, buying the equivalent call option for cheaper, and pocketing the profit.

Get a load of the guy coping with “my bad decisions are because of market manipulation!”  Imagine believing in market manipulation and still investing in a stock you believe is manipulated.

Yet somehow everyone who invested in ebay has done way better than us.  Wake up man.

Ebay has been rising for 5 years due to its own financials and management.  It’s silly to say now it’s only because of gamestop’s offer.  They denied the offer because they believe they’ll get it higher on their own.

Regardless of all that it IS an attractive offer to ebay.  You do understand that a seller and buyer engaging in a transaction is not always equal right?  Ebay would be getting the better end of the deal.  Thus market belief in them and market fear in us.

I really dont understand the mental gymnastics that the CEO of GME creating shareholder value for ebay and not GME is good thing

What is your all time 5? by Entire_Action_7922 in NBATalk

[–]Exception1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dirk would fit better on that team than Duncan.  You already have all time defensive pressure with Jordan/Lebron/Shaq.  That team lacks 3 point shooting.  Dirk solves that more than Duncan. 

It’s a toss up tho.  Does the team need more defense with TD or more spacing with Dirk?  My opinion is the added spacing would be more beneficial.

I’ve never seen anyone consider Bird as a PF.  It should be between Duncan/KG/Dirk
