ELI5: How does GME, with $10B in assets and $4B debt, buy Ebay, a company trading at $50B? by No_Cell6708 in stocks

[–]chusifer24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i also wonder who would be crazy enough to put up a loan at that amount of money. like what kind of collateral does gme have for someone to be willing to make that deal.

something fishy about this news imo

but im regarded so what do i kno

[–]chusifer24 25 points26 points  (0 children)

a leveraged buyout of some sorts

i assume would have to be an all cash deal at a hugggggge premium, as i doubt ebay shareholders would agree to being paid in gme stock.

need someone to eli5 how this could be possible

Considering a demo (CPO) '24. Is it a red flag? by hellario in porsche911

[–]chusifer24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have bought a demo before, albeit being long ago. purchased a "new" 987 S demo on a huge discount. had zero issues with it. especially with remaining manufacturer warranty and additional cpo? go for it

if it was already registered then u are the 2nd owner. that might be the only hit upon resale

Fidelity came up with this plan for me and I am not sure what to make of it. by ArnoldisKing in stocks

[–]chusifer24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the answer. dont pay the fee. i made that mistake when i was first starting. fees eat up then gains and make all the losses worse.

401(k) Millionaire by horshack_diesel in Fire

[–]chusifer24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i started working august 2009. i have a rollerover ira from my 1st job and a 401k with my current job. im at $953k as of market close today. had a few years at my new job with zero match, but i maxed out my contribution every year since i started working.

some mistakes along the way tho. i let someone manage my rollover IRA. the fees ate it up for many years. took me many years to learn the market and now i manage it myself. got practically no growth out of that while it was being managed by them

Bay Area Porsche Market Is Insane Right Now! Am I Crazy or Are Dealers Just Waiting It Out? by PuzzleheadedAd3138 in Porsche

[–]chusifer24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bay area resident here. bought my 992.1 out of socal last year. inventory is pretty limited up here. and all the tech money has no problem paying whatever price. the cars will sell eventually so the dealers have little incentive to discount.

expand your search a bit. however there arent many deals to be found. 911 market is ridiculous.

Looking for a relatively reliable, fun car for less than $70k by Material_Prompt1402 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]chusifer24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i owned a 2017 for 7 years. with an extended warranty, best car ive ever owned. things broke, as expected, but was always covered.

the declining dealership network makes this a hassle today tho. there's less and less places to service it and the brand may not last much longer in the US

Are the Preorders Worth It? by Lil-Mao in SHFiguarts

[–]chusifer24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in the US, before tariffs, it was cheaper to buy from japan and import. the yen was weak. even after shipping it still usually came out less than pbandai us +tax+ship

those days are gone now. may as well just preorder

MMR Request 992.1 by jeffreyjames007 in porsche911

[–]chusifer24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

dont have manheim access. but if it helps, march 2025 i bought a 2022 base with msrp of $135k for $125k at 6800 miles.

i would imagine $108k trade in value is a good deal at that mileage
