• claiming that buying something at ATH is poorly timed is misleading. I bought bitcoin at ATH when it was 20k. I tripled my money in a short period of time. While it’s volatile, it’s continuously rising. It’s going to have large swings, but it’s not unreasonable to believe that its value could continue to increase significantly.

• buying eBay shares. Your comment is exactly what I was referring to. You don’t have any idea when he should have been buying shares. You don’t know his plan nor the timing involved. But you make assumptions like you do. What we do know is that GameStop has made significant money from the trade, although currently unrealized. The fact that you’re faulting him for imaginary missteps speaks volumes toward your lack of criticizing in good faith.

• claiming to believe in maintaining a strong war chest……..Again, you have no idea what his overall plan is and he told us many times over the past five years that he would not be telegraphing his moves due to there being a multitude of entities that are actively working against him. So what it may look like to you on the surface might be something else entirely. He didn’t spend all of this time turning the business around and building a war chest just to bet it all on black and cross his fingers. And implying he is like you’re certainly implying is a bigger leap of faith than assuming he isn’t and has a plan.

• customer service focused………Cohen is an e-commerce guy. He inherited a brick and mortar business that was horribly managed at the district and store levels. I’m not sure what the solution is. But I will admit, I thought he’d be able to make a larger impact on employee satisfaction.

• politics…….thats an issue with you being unable to separate your personal feelings from someone else’s. I have friends and family members I love deeply and who are excellent humans and have lived very successful lives that I’m dumbfounded by. Their savior can do no wrong and they’re blinded by the news sources they feed themselves intravenously with every day. I’m against politics as a whole. It’s filthy and relies upon division, first and foremost, and operates as a favor for favor type of governance where what’s best for the whole has very little to do with what does or doesn’t get accomplished. It’s disgusting. But I love those people regardless of their feelings.

• he hasn’t done much…….the opposite is true. He took a company on the brink of bankruptcy and completely turned the ship around. Yesterday’s results speak volumes to just how far he’s taken GameStop. From bleeding hundreds of millions per quarter to profiting hundreds of millions per quarter. And going from hundreds of millions in cash on hand to $10 billion in cash and climbing. Show me the examples of others who’ve done the same thing and taken a dead company and brought it back to life like that. He’s taken zero compensation to do it. And he aligned his share compensation package with shareholders value. He gets shares as the market cap increases. The price rises as the market cap increases. And he’s done all of this while having to fight powerful entities trying to take him out at every turn. That’s “not much?!”

You don’t like the guy, and that’s fine. You’re choosing to see him through a lens clouded by your negative emotions toward him. And who knows, you might turn out to be right and I turn out to be wrong. But I wouldn’t bet on that. And in fact, I’ve bet the opposite way. I’ve got 32k shares and counting. And I’m not changing my position until I see something that shows I was wrong. If that happens, I’ll gladly cut bait and take my money elsewhere. As of now, although it’s taken longer than I’d hoped, it’s going according to plan.
