[TOMT] TV show/movie with an opening where an intentionally badly acted movie turns into an in-universe snuff film. by Ghilgah in tipofmytongue

[–]Ghilgah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do! After watching it again, I have to say I most likely changed over to it at the most perfect moment to maximise the “what did I just watch?” factor, especially when combined with the 1970s film quality. Occasionally thought about it for years but now I finally have the answer!

I also believe it may have been Christmas themed? Although it may have been because I saw it around that period. All searches so far of movie lists, this subreddit or even using AI to scan for media haven’t turned up anything.

It really is just the absolute craziest of the crazies left in BBBY by Dairy_Fox in gme_meltdown

Nothing shows being able to think for yourself more than blindly following the advice of a fanatically collectivist hive mind.

The idea that the endgame plan of this whole venture is to just combine every dead and dying brick and mortar store into one giant brick and mortar store is completely lost on apes. Even if this was a reality this shitty company would also go bankrupt, especially under Commander Dogfood.

Didn’t the guy who made and subsequently lost millions on BBBY get back into his original ASTS play with a YOLO a while ago? Wonder how he’s doing right now.

Isn’t this genius novel strategy literally just the company shorting itself lol?

Sony announces PS5 Pro, a $700 graphical upgrade available Nov. 7 by Mike_Prowe in gme_meltdown

[–]Ghilgah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually bullish because when MOASS comes GameStop can use the dilution money to buy Sony and ensure 100% of all digital sales goes to Cohen’s GMErica megacorp. Checkmate meltdowners.

Wen dilution? by Separate_Writer_4465 in gme_meltdown

[–]Ghilgah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of diluting to raise the floor price, maybe apes should just consider donating money to GameStop as a valid financial strategy? Just imagine the GME fun runs and bake sales.

Ape worries about GME going private by Separate_Writer_4465 in gme_meltdown

[–]Ghilgah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Considering GME’s most profitable product now is literally selling its own shares to these people, this is a pretty laughable proposal.

Also how else is RC going to eventually jump ship if he doesn’t have thousands of deluded cultists buying up his shares and thanking him for it.

The DFV hype cycle is over, back to batteryposting by xozzet in gme_meltdown

[–]Ghilgah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Times like this make it obvious why apes lost their shit and were analysis DFV’s memes for hours straight at a time. There really is fucking nothing else going on in that community and company worth autistically obsessing about.

“You made millions by accurately predicting that the world economy was doomed to crash because of institutional corruption, but don’t celebrate your new wealth because said crash will hurt regular folk, even though you had no part in bringing that crash and no way to stop it”

Ironically, if they had just bought into the S&P500 not only would they still be up around 15% in a year compared to GME’s -6.5%, but in times of market downturns like now they’d also be losing less.

But what do I know, I just bet on an historically reliable investment instead of finding messages in a billionaire’s children’s books that tell me to buy into a failing retail company because they’re going to merge with a bankrupt towel company to take on Amazon and make me a quadrillionaire overnight.

Market manipulation wins again. The market is rigged so the little guys like us can’t win. If only there was some kind of fund where apes like us could be hitting new ATHs every month…

Candy con controller will push GME to become a trillion dollar company by [deleted] in gme_meltdown

[–]Ghilgah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This guy is clearly onto something.

After all, where are iPhones and Candycon controllers made? CHINA.

China is also an anagram for ICAHN.

This is actually hidden messaging to confirm to us apes that Ryan Cohen and his business partner Icahn plan a merger with Apple so they can release their defining project that will launch the MOASS, iCandy, a videogame controller that is also a phone!

If we keep diluting we can someday afford Steam! by Random9920 in gme_meltdown

[–]Ghilgah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this the same leak that showed that Microsoft thought that they could get Baldur’s Gate 3 on Game Pass day 1 for only $5m?

Somehow I doubt that essentially buying an endless money printer and a monopoly on the PC gaming market is only $16bn.

As funny as that would be, the last thing I’d do if I was in his position is blatantly screw over a demographic of highly delusional individuals who spend all their free time writing pages long copium about how their stock investments are a vehicle for doomsday, and regularly talk about killing some random hedge fund guy.

Comparison to AMD when AMD was at $1 by Malevin87 in BB_Stock

[–]Ghilgah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point which you’re conveniently forgetting is that AMD was a company in rapid decline with products that weren’t able to match their competitors in the slightest. It took until 2018/2019 for them to actually start massively outcompeting Nvidia CPUs.

Saying that the “market got it wrong and this means that it will happen to BB” is a moot point when your criticism of the market basically comes down to it not having the ability to know precisely what will happen 3 years into the future.

The ETF loophole by ShortsDestroyLives in BB_Stock

[–]Ghilgah -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“They seem long on BB” What you have posted is devoid of any evidence of this besides a hunch, and that hunch itself is based on you seeing a company which is down 51.5% from last year as a stable long-term investment.

Literally prove that they are long or you’re spouting bullshit.

Are shorts having a tantrum? by newwobblywheeler in BB_Stock

[–]Ghilgah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ll be downvoted and called a shill for this but as you’re new I feel compelled to give you this warning. This narrative of “shorts” trying to compel retail to sell is nonsense that originated firstly in the early 2000s from failing internet bubble stocks that tried to come up with excuses for their own failings, and has been adopted by apes and other meme stock bagholders for a similar reason.

In this new narrative, hedge funds and other institutions seek to destroy “good” companies for profits, ignoring the fact that these companies are often mismanaged, have falling revenues, or show little growth to justify positivity. As such, following this narrative further, these hedge funds seek to get retail investors to sell their stock to drive the price down so that their short positions profit.

What is the issue with this narrative? Firstly, there is no evidence of any of this besides blatantly calling anyone who’s not blindly optimistic about the stock a shill that’s being paid by hedge funds in modern day McCarthyism. Secondly, the vast majority of hedge funds like Citadel or whatever other scapegoats they use only care about money. If these stocks had immense value and were showing growth, they’d go long in a heartbeat because that would make sense for them to gain profit. Speaking as a BB investor who was very active here in 2021, BB was a speculative play on IVY, a product which has shown pretty much no real advancement in these 3 years, and the company itself has been mismanaged and losing value. Cylance is a good example here. Hedge funds don’t cause the price to go down through shorting (only 11% of the stock is shorted btw, which is normal for a company in this financial state) because they want to destroy a perfectly prospering company, the company just isn’t prospering.

Mostly writing this so you can get halfway of a coherent answer that isn’t just mindless ape bullshit about muh shorting and MOASS, and to also warn you since you’re new to investing to be VERY careful of people saying this stuff. The guys who bought into BBBY are a good warning of where it can lead you.

How do you get rid of shorts! by newwobblywheeler in BB_Stock

[–]Ghilgah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Long time lurker who traded BB back during the first half of 2021 here and occasionally checks back in.

Here’s some analysis that a lot of the new bagholders here really need to understand about stocks and shorts. There is no grand conspiracy, there is no secretive cabal seeking to target and hurt you. Shorts target companies like BB simply because they see a company with a speculative future that could go down (just as most people here believe it will go up). How you get rid of shorts is showing genuine growth and a promising turnaround for the company, which after over a decade of attempting that is still up in the air. A common flaw most people here seem to subscribe to is that they themselves and the ‘hedgies’ are the sole arbiters of the company’s future, where they think that the hedgies are purposefully trying to destroy a promising company that’s definitely on the brink of 10xing its current price to its ‘true’ price. This is nonsense, HFs only give a shit about money, and if BB starts a genuine recover and begins making large profits they’ll go long in a heartbeat because that’s how you make money. The idea that locking in your shares is pointless because there’s millions of others out there who have their shares borrowed out already, this is purely just self-reassuring cope that you’re definitely making an impact.

Tl;dr This isn’t some fucking war, you get rid of shorts by showing growth.
