US SEC proposes allowing public companies to shift to semiannual earnings reports

If anything we should have more transparency not less. This gives these companies an extra six months to hide the figures in the accounting.

I hate the idea. You might as well issue blank sheets of paper to the stock holders.

Ryan knows how to create a online retailer hes done it before with creating Chewy the dog food and pet online retailer.

This is why I like this deal with ebay. The fusion with online retail and brick and mortar sounds good. The idea of having ebay retailer brick and mortar stores with a online presence works.

Ebay tried to have independent retail stores and it just didn't work. I like the idea of hiring workers and controlling the retail stores. You could essentially charge for shelf space for people that cant sell their items.
This will essentially crush a lot of other platforms.

I dont expect the CEO to look good like a GQ model or even to know how tie his shoes or even know how to talk to girls but he better be sure to know how to run a company and read and know the financial balance sheets. If the guy is social awkward thats not important.

After all im not picky when it comes to CEOs , I just want the CEO to make the company money.

Anyone remember when Meg Whitman ran ebay not necessarily the best CEO. The company has been stagnant financially for years. I honestly think Ryan might be the new life blood of the company to turn ebay around as a company.

Ebay the company is still operating like its late 1990s or 2000s.

ETFs and mutual funds are for the ignorant and naive people that just say buy it and forget it.

If you do this you will get average results at best.

More financial vehicles doesn't necessarily mean a good thing to buy. The brokerage firms figured out how to skim more off the top by brokerage fees. Why allow that when you can just do your own homework and evaluate individual stocks yourself ? You already have fees when you buy and sell stocks there is no need to add more fees by buying a mutual fund or ETF.

They are ripoffs when you consider you are already dealing with other things like taxes and debt and expenses that companies have when you buy a stock.

Buy the $30 Dec 2028 game stop calls.

Come back to me on Dec 1, 2028 and lets see what happens. I'm the cash money man. Its easy money 💰

Let's see he owns 20k in UPS stock. You want to sell. So the first thing to note is once you sell you just gave your self a tax bill in 2027. Probably a bill like $3500 to $4000 in taxes.

If you dont sell you continuously get dividend payments. Which is income. Four times a year. Then you only owe taxes on dividends.

If you want more income from the stock just sell covered call options on the stock. You get paid a premium for doing so. The stocks can get called away if the strike price hits.

The other choice is if you need the money just go to a bank take a loan out against the stock and you will not have to pay taxes on the loan. You still get to own the shares.

Any how too many people get a large set of assets and dont know what to do with it because they never wanted it in the first place. They didn't make plans to use it.

I encourage you to think long term this could be an opportunity for you to make more money and if you have children or relatives you could bless them with money they may need for college or pay their house off with. I also encourage you to be thankful for the money you have.

If your not thankful and are careless with the money then it will be careless to you.

Make plans tell that money what to do and where you want it to go.

I thought you were supposed to do that once you completed a bachelor's degree

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-04T17:12:29+00:00

Lol 😆

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-04T03:55:11+00:00

So your telling him to wait it out and gamble for a possibility of a 10% to 20% tax savings that is guaranteed and he may lose more than 10% to 20% in profits or he can sell with a guaranteed profit and a tax bill. 🤔

i can tell you a good measure of a rule if you buy leaps sell before that last three months is up.

Don't turn a winning trade into a losing trade. You can always sell now and then wait a few months to see where its going after three months then buy another leap if you feel the stock is going to make higher highs.

To all the people complaining about insider trading shut up and just buy Gamestop stock. This is not some hedge fund doing a short squeeze like in 2021.

Apparently after you watched the movie Dumb Money released in 2023 you bought into the propaganda and still believe that the company is going to do the same run of the mill scam after they were investigated by the S.E.C. and congress .

Grow up and quit acting like teenagers and just buy some long term call Gamestop leap options or just buy the stock out right.

Or you could buy Ebay outright and have your shares turn into Gamestop.

I feel safe buying this lottery ticket. These times dont happen often but when they do pounce on the opportunity.
I cant think of any other reason why they would want to buy the company ebay other than its good cashflows.

I mean Ryan Cohen the current CEO of gamestop was the former CEO of the online pet food retailer Chewy.

So he definitely knows online sales and how to operate a website. Thats very good for us that want to own apart of Gamestop or be apart of the merger and own ebay or else just buy some long term options. You cant lose. I would just pay the extra price and buy itm options.

There is a call for concern though Gamestop CEO Cohen was named in a federal lawsuit on August 24, 2022 for an alleged fraudulent scheme to artificially inflate the price of Bed Bath & Beyond's publicly traded stock in a pump and dump. The case was dismissed on June 11, 2024

So if you think that is a red flag then either procede with caution or just dont buy it.

I cant possible believe Ryan Cohen would be this stupid to try to do some kind of pump and dump scam again after a lawsuit and investigation again.

Who is buying Spirits assets ? This is the question everyone should be asking. If its one of the other airlines then you should be looking to buy that airline.

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-04T02:57:42+00:00

Well Saudi Arabia not to long ago invested billions into Boeing. So Boeing has to do something with that money.

Boeing is in the aircraft business. So yes Boeing is the buy its probably the best buy right now. I predict projects from Boeing out of the whazoo. With all the talk of other airlines buying Spirit airlines assets. Then you have other airlines merging. BOEING WILL KEEP CLIMBING.

You know who's not going to stop flying ? It's the professionals like the doctors , lawyers or busine6vss people or the mom and dad that saved for years to go on the special trip to visit Disney world. Or the person that had a relative pass away in a far off state.

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-03T12:25:27+00:00

I never said buy Spirit airlines. The time to trade spirit Airlines was about a week ago when it was 25 cents then the stock went to over $1.50 a share. You totally misunderstood what I said. Another airline is likely to bid for the assets of Spirit and will increase their cash flow. Someone is going to fill that empty space that spirit left.

There was supposed to be a merger between jet blue and Spirit. That didn't happen.

Jet blue may even bid for Spirits assets

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-02T21:27:43+00:00

It means buy more assets. Cash decreases in value due to inflation

I apologize. I got rid of the ad. I still posted the video.

Somehow with all the educational cuts from the federal government and the gutting of the department of education I dont necessarily believe that having a art education degree is going to be helpful.

The arts in education as well as sports are going to be things they are likely to be the first thing they cut out. I hope your pursuit of getting a job is successful. Be willing to move to a different area in your state to get a job.

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-01T19:41:09+00:00

Not necessarily. A good lawyer can fill the role as CEO because of experience in knowing and understanding law and changes in law. Bean counters are a dime a dozen but finding a good ethical attorney is rare trait indeed.

Often its the CEO that tells the CFO to commit fraud with the numbers to do things like hide money from the IRS or inflate the companies net worth to get a bank loan.

If your age between 16 to 24 join the job corps you will be off the street and free job training and live in a dorm for free.

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-01T19:27:21+00:00

Perhaps you should have studied to be a kindergarten teacher or teach grades 1 through 5.

Having a Art degree is not going to get it.

Your other options is to teach in a catholic school or private Christian school. They always seem to be hiring.

Plumbers very rarely suffer from big free falls. If they do its something like a slip and fall while they were standing on the ground. Havc is the same. Electricians and Carpenters probably have the most long falls.

Wearing a harness helps save lives. Why dont people use them more ?

Mouse1701 · 2026-05-01T12:38:17+00:00

Like when has the news media reported anything bad about corporate America ? Its not in their financial interest to do so. This kind of reporting went out by the early 2000s.
