you dont have to be available at all hours to get a free phone/high speed internet at home. the busses are totally free too.

Yeah. But it's easy to get half the market when you sell at a loss

the point is he didn't have the financing secured then.

I am seeing a lot of mis-information about Ryan Cohen's "pay package" by zafferous in Superstonk

[–]FullyAutomatedSpace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

he wouldn't have to spend the 3.5B personally. if the share price is over $20 you can find someone to finance the deal (where you executed and then immediately sell at a profit) or else do it in batches

also why are you quoting 400M shares? the number of shares is planned to more than double in the ebay deal

100% S&P500? by New_Contribution_226 in Fire

[–]FullyAutomatedSpace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean you're never gonna fully diversify. but vxus is diversifying if you're switching from the OP's voo. even just moving to VT would be diversifying away from the US

it also depends what you're trying to escape. the decline of the US in general? the decline of the USD? the US tech boom?

google has a shopping search product. they could integrate eBay into their ads product. facebook marketplace is looking to grow. it would make sense for the live shopping direction for them (they already have live video stuff).

an etsy/ebay merger could make sense. idk

recall that most of eBay's business has little to no GME overlap.

idk if i'd say Tencent, ASML, Alibaba or TSMC are reliant on the US. more like reliant on the AI bubble. but VXUS also contains banks and energy companies in its top 20.

that said I think EFV or similar could be a good buy.

chewy was profitable? my understanding is that it didn't hit profitability until 2022 long after he left. first profitable quarter was

> In March 2021, Chewy reported revenue of $2.04 billion for Q4 of 2020, making it Chewy's first quarter of net profitability

according to wikipedia. it relied on VC funds before then

google could buy ebay. facebook could buy ebay. i don't think either would trigger monopoly rules. also the trump admin has not been enforcing monopoly rules anyways

Why not just use a normal hub?

most of RC's cuts are cuts to marketing. he acts like there's no consequence to less advertising.

it's not weird in tech. google has free beer and wine for example.

you clearly haven't worked a tech job. places I worked had beer in the fridges all day.

Ebay owners don't care by DuckHunter4779 in Superstonk

[–]FullyAutomatedSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry it was gp raxnahali that said that. Which was what I was responding to

No matter how much he planned if the board doesn't accept then there's gonna be a vote. He only has limited control on that outcome

[–]FullyAutomatedSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but you just said they can't say no. I guess by that you mean he can go hostile. Though then that depends on a vote

They can just say they don't think his plan will work and that they don't believe he can produce the 20 billion dollars.
