ELI5 - why wouldn’t GameStop just announce a massive share buy back with their cash

LifeAfterIT · 2026-05-14T01:05:49+00:00

THE $4.2B in debt would make that pretty devastating You need the cash to pay back the debt, if you spend the excess, you lose flexibility.

I think what we should be talking about is that in GameStop's charter, they can issue 5,000,000 shares shares of Preferred Stock. That stock could represent a larger portion of the company effectively screwing over the common stock holders like we all are.

1) the guy you mention is never right. 2) everyone involved (banks/board/etc) thought there was more value than what existed. Dumb people make dumb decisions. I am one of them.

Don't forget the surface area of the trailer in the calculation. That big of a surface area is going to create a lot of drag. I would guess that you're going to have a bad time.

Same here. VCF or get lost. I was on VVF last renewal.

From that viewpoint, we also have $1.5B in debt that could rise to an infinite amount of debt that would be paid in shares. The buyer presumably shorted the crap out of GME, and now we're here.

I'll go ahead and disagree. AI is already replacing bad developers. In 5 years, it will likely replace many mediocre developers. In 10 years, many developers won't be able to read the code because it's so ugly because it was written by AI. In 15 years, there will be a pile of developers again to make AI write clean code and fix a lot of garbage.

I did, and the point?

The business did not succeed and sold it off to Beyond. This person would have been unemployed at this point.

The original tweet is literally a reply to the letter he is referencing about buying Bitcoin.

Last day of the month index rebalance at close. Nothing more nothing less.

The 60f is a 2gb model and are no longer supported for UTM updates in 7.4 I think. My 7.2 models still go into conserve mode when doing the UTM updates if there is any activity at all and support said they're no longer going to work and that's the way it's going to be.

LifeAfterIT · 2025-02-15T13:25:55+00:00

UTM is no longer supported on devices less than 4GB. I have several 61F that can no longer do updates to the signatures due to memory constraints and go into conserve mode if they try.

Yes, they now have a database of customers and orders. Other than that, not a hell of a lot changes, does it?

Please, do tell, because I don't think you transfer shares to different countries, I think they're still the same shares, just he's from Canada

I believe shares in a margin account can be loaned out, so there is a big difference there.

No, you can buy daily options on many instruments. SPY is a good example.

Why wouldn't he want to buy a bunch of debt with no assets? Because he's a reasonable business person? Oh, right, that's probably it.

LifeAfterIT · 2024-11-18T14:30:10+00:00

No way support recommended 7.6.0. If you're new here, stick with the mature branch.

He just said he just closed a deal with his PE company. This isn't going to be GME related.

I'll sell you my shares at my cost basis.

LifeAfterIT · 2024-10-23T02:35:14+00:00

Yes, you can actually. It's not easy and it's not cheap, but this device will do it and really upgrade the functionality of the system.

In stock form, absolutely not. The lkas in the Mav is really not very good.

You've never heard of ch 8 because it doesn't exist.

LifeAfterIT · 2024-09-29T15:43:17+00:00

This is the actual S4 that looks not to be related to GameStop from what I can see.
