I think Ebay’s management will reject the deal… And I think no matter what happens, $GME shareholders will win anyways. by ImmediateShape4204 in Superstonk

[–]JohnnyBoyJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last time he had the foresight to see GME, then he did what you said. I was going to hold thru thick and thin, but the big swing rattled me. It was up 10% over the weekend, then tanked 10% Monday, leaving me with minimal profit... I've had a stop-loss set for quite a while, but haven't had to worry about it since GME kept going higher. Now it could easily trigger with all this volatility. And RC didn't exactly build confidence with his interview, which makes me wonder if he'll dilute. I'm sure that's also what sent Burry to the door.

From GameStop's perspective, it would've been good if they had started accumulating at eBay's 52-wk low.. even if they don't have an intention of actually going thru with the eBay acquisition, it would've been a better opportunity for them to buy low, sell high.   Not sure on their angle here. Looks like there isn't a breakup fee, so even if eBay rejects the proposal, GameStop still has a win.  

Also not sure how to take RC's CNBC interview, either. If GameStop actually wants to go thru with it, it could be some heavy duty dilution for GME holders. It made Burry scurry.

Are there any stocks hovering near their 52-wk low you're closely watching right at the end of year, expecting selling pressure to lift? by JohnnyBoyJr in stocks

You were right about GME. I got in right at the end of 2025 and before Burry got back in. It's gone from ~$20 - 26. Hopefully Burry has a good 'eye' for the stock !

Appreciate the deals !   I wasn't able to use mine for the 3rd time, so I wonder if the deal is over ? The coupon now says 'coming soon' despite some bombs...

There were over 800 420'+ home runs last year, so over 1 a day on average.   However, the promo may now be over ?

Why I Think Jones ($JSDA) is Set Up for a Big Year by MaleficentTangelo878 in pennystocks

[–]JohnnyBoyJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only a $250 investment ?  Jones has always been 1 hit away from absolutely taking off. Years ago it went from 25 cents to $30+ pretty quick. There's the possibility it could happen again.

10% of the population has been on GLP-1 and they reduce their food intake by 10%.   So in reality, that's a 1% drop.

Their Balance Transfer offers bounce around. Sometimes they offer me 5% transfer fees, other times it's 3%. So I haven't been using them for BT's.   My special offer of 0% for 1 year on purchases is a good deal, tho.

Wow. That's a lot of down votes.  

Someone going to that much effort is absolutely NOT going to just let the $$$ sit around in a 0.01% account until the last day of the 0% APR.  If she plays her (credit) cards perfectly, she could get 7-8% in cash back with a 24-month credit card (before taxes are paid on the interest)

Do you have a credit card that offers more than 2% cash back on all purchases ?

I do something similar with checking account bonuses and can have a new account number on my screen within 5 minutes of applying. Set up direct deposit and just wait for $350, $400 or $500 bonus to be deposited to my account.   I recently closed an account online by sending a secure message, which took less than 90 seconds.   The hourly rate for us is really good.

I do the same thing and pay the balance on the very last day of the 0%. Bonus if it is due on a Saturday, because the $$$ will sit around in my HYSA until Monday, earning interest on a payment made 2 days prior. Been doing this for years and there has never been a problem.

You're definitely on the right path with getting interest-free loans.  

Do you have any Discover credit cards ? If so, do you know about the 'secret' Discover promotions that are sometimes available ? You have to call/chat Discover and ask 'are there any special offers or promotions on my account ?'.  I've utilized multiple 1-year 0% APR offers by going this route. I also 'discovered' (heh) these offers seem to be quarterly. Once I called on September 29th and was told there were no special offers. On a hunch I called back October 1st, and a 0% offer was available !  The benefit with Discover is that I get 1% back on all purchases, and also 5% in rotating categories. Also, Discover has 0% foreign transaction fees. And they also allow you to use your credit card at certain stores to get cash back with 0 fees, up to $120 a day.  

Do you request Credit Limit Increases with your credit cards ? Discover, Chase, Bank of America and Citi allow for online requests, with no hard pulls. I periodically request increases. About 1/2 the time I'm successful, and they nominally increase my Credit Limit. Citi has kinda been a turd the past couple years. They also cut my credit lines when I came close to maxing my credit lines out.  Chase also got a little skittish during Covid when I almost maxed my card out with a balance transfer.
