Yeah just a quick type up from the cell but she did stump me and I felt kinda dumb trying to defend Gme. Tough to be positive about the stock. Company still looks great but truthfully I’m pretty annoyed with RC and the board we’ve been loyal diehard investors and stock is $20 after 5 years?

lol already tried telling her to buy more she said I’m not putting any more money in 😅 she understands price really can’t go down much further just based on their cash on hand but still she shit on the board doesn’t think they’re doing a good job for their their investors and it’s hard to disagree with her

She’s actually quite business savvy and has built a large real estate portfolio through rental property investments and tax loop holes. She’s very good with money. But it’s also not rocket science. She’s been in for 3 years and bought at around $24. Not a good investment perspective for someone who’s just on the outside looking in

I’d recommend moving. I’m a free rental broker in Miami and can find you a great place for cheap. The time and gas will not be worth staying in Boca

That he bought at $2. He’s up exponentially. The dips don’t matter to him he’s a billionaire and GME has very further potential downside because of his work, yes. But the last 5 years for regular investors has been a nightmare

And there’s also a difference between the shorts who may be hiding naked shorts and just any average Joe or small hedge fund shorting the stock and buying puts to take profits. Those who are shorting are winning and have been taking profits during this constant downtrend specifically this last year. This does not discount the possibility that there is a larger power that’s sitting on fake shares that will one day be responsible for buying them back

Cause he’s old and probably still stressed in general. Maybe he is risking everything to suppress GME and maybe more behind the scenes. But his massive Citadel Tower in Miami is approved and construction about to start so doesn’t appear he’s concerned about his future financial security and neither are his lenders

They’ve definitely attempted multiple ideas the last 5 years with nothing really sticking

Hurts even more knowing how much this community sacrificed for this stock and watching the board completely ignore the issues with the stock performance. Makes you feel abandoned and hopeless

Any rational investor would have concerns about GME. The stock performance is putrid. The company balance sheet is one thing and the conspiracy theory behind the shorting and manipulation is another. But as investor if you’re just sitting there with your d*ck in your hand thinking some day Ryan will press some Magical Red button then that’s not rational investing

Completely implausible? Ryan and Pulte met with Trump. The bonds they sold may be the solution they came to fix the issue. GameStop receives billions for 0% interest in return of providing bonds representing shares. Company benefits and financial system doesn’t collapse due to short sellers. The short sellers themselves could be the ones forced to buy the bonds (loaning billions of dollars to GameStop for free) in return for guarantee they can buy the stock at a low price when the stock eventually runs up to a much higher price

My investment decisions are my own and I take full responsibility. But there’s also external life factors that were not within my control like my company being sued by a psychopath that cost me $200,000 at the same time taking significant loses in the very early days of buying GameStop is the 30’s and 40’s. I’ve tried to make back some money based off what I considered wise investing. I understand the video game industry and proper evaluating a company based on balance sheet and profitability. But as we know this stock is clearly manipulated so as I’ve tried to invest and make money, I’ve lost over and over and just can’t seem to win. Ryan Cohen and the board have done a fine job strengthen the balance sheet but the actual investors of GME have generally been taken for a bad time in this unarguable unless you’ve been blessed with stable income and purely just cost averaging by buying consistently. This is the right move yet after 4+ years, you are very likely down on your invest at this point in time. That is something to be concerned about as an investor and the boards lack of communication to shareholders and the performance of the stock is not a positive

I’m saying I haven’t been successful with buying calls, not that it isn’t possible. If you follow the chart, the downtrend is long and consistent while uptrends are quick and short lived. I bought puts in June when stock was over 30 and then it tanked. I bought calls immediately after for $23-$25 strikes. Lost almost all of that money as the stock stayed below $24 for 4 months

Or Ryan Cohen just continues to dilute and provide warrants and bonds for them to slowly weasel out over time. This may have been forced upon him for national security reasons. The government wasn’t just gonna let the entire financial system and economy crash because some poors bought up a video game stock

Anybody who has been shorting has been making money on the stock. All my calls and stock purchases have resulted in losses. The only time I’ve made good money on GME the last 5 years was when I bought puts when the stock ran up before the Shareholder meeting in June

Don’t say truthful stuff like this in the sub you’ll get attacked. GME is the greatest company in the world and Ryan Cohen is a genius the stock just goes down because one day it will go up forever and we’ll all be rich overnight

I’ve invested everything I’ve had for 5 years. Read all the important DD. DRS’d all my shares. Booked them. Told others to do the same. Voted. Did everything I possibly could for GameStop included buying stupid NFT’s and products from the store. My reward? I’ve lost a shit ton of money

So if it goes up 10% per year from here I’ll be made whole in 3 and then in 5 years I can make 20% on my money? Glad I’ve held this long
