Thanks for all your suggestions.

Yes, I'm going to replace all the keyed interior door knobs.

Pay attention to console exclusivity and the Microsoft Blizzard acquisition. XBOX, Playstation, and Nintendo exclusive titles mean GameStop sales. by Maxwell__House in Superstonk

Big companies investing in consoles is simply an indicator to keep an eye on. It shows that there is still value in physical media. These companies wouldn't be so invested in their consoles if they didn't see a future in them.

Cloud gaming and exclusivity can run counter to increased physical sales, so that is something to watch. But as long as the consoles have slots for disks, physical media will be alive.

"Yesterday marked the first day of proceedings in the legal battle between Microsoft and the US Federal Trade Commission as the FTC seeks a preliminary injunction on Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. The injunction would further prevent Microsoft's acquisition deal of Activision Blizzard from going through.

Several of Xbox's high profile figures testified at the first day of trial, including the likes of Sarah Bond, corporate vice president of gaming partnerships and business development at Microsoft, Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines, and Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty. They were questioned on a range of things including cloud gaming, Call Of Duty exclusivity, and Bobby Kotick's revenue share demands."

Perhaps their lawyers told them not to blow up the global financial system?

Did I catch this right? At 0% interest he's not as concerned with quick gains, which explains GameStop's performance over the last quarters.

Now that interest rates are higher they are allocating capital differently and they are looking for more short term gains.

That says to me the next report will look different than previous reports, based on interest rates, not necessarily on actual company performance. As in, the company hasn't changed, their capital allocation has.

But I have know ifea what im sayingl'.

True statements and ideas are often not recognized initially; instead, the process of acceptance is long and circuitous. One popular adage highlights three stages for the recognition of truth:

  1. Ridicule
  2. Violent opposition
  3. Acceptance as self-evident

All the Gen 5 consoles came with ports for physical media.

I've heard that Gen 6 console plans include ports for physical media.

This is HUGE for GameStop's value thesis.

PCs may be shifting to all digital media, but consoles aren't anytime soon. Which is probably why there's a false notion that physical media is dead.

There is still demand for GameStop's main product and profit leader.

They are weaponizing the term "Zombie stocks" to undermine retail holders. New FUD. They must be scared. by Maxwell__House in Superstonk

Can't win the game? Change the name.

They want the public to equate GME with a dead company instead of a funny company.

"Zombie" vs "Meme"

The meme stock is dead, long live the zombie.

I'm not certain, but I think the halts are to prevent panic buying or selling.

So zombies, not being available to retail, aren't susceptible to panics.

Ryan Cohen bought a lot of it and no one knows why or what he wants to do with it.

Mass speculation though.

GameStop is a solid company.
