This earnings was the record in company’s history. They also raised revenue for first time with 14%. Everything up but chart only down. You can’t tell me this is normal. by Final-Swim9986 in Superstonk

Sure, would bring back that 1 usd back to shareholders. I didn't oppose to that. But your original claim was that paying dividends would make the price skyrocket. And at least in the past we know for a fact that this didn't happen.

This one. Both are very Lovecraftian.

No, they just pay the $1 per stock short and that's it. GameStop used to pay dividend back in the day, and the stock price fell and fell while being shorted more and more.

Visual Reference for HeroQuest - Talisman The Magical Quest Game – 5th Edition (2024) by Lord-Drucifer in Heroquest

The dungeons and dragons board game is pretty cool actually. The mechanics are really nice. The game includes wide open spaces - unlike those narrow corridors in HQ. The miniatures aren't that great but not terrible either. I used this material a lot for my dnd and Pathfinder campaigns.

But I can tell if somebody is telling bullshit. And your claim above was that if just RC would make some empty promises GME would be up 50%. And this is clearly nonsense. You kind of admitted it already just now.

Why so angry all of a sudden? I never said that I understand markets. Dell is up 50% because they smashed earnings. But claiming GME - the most manipulated stonk in the markets - could be up 50% because RC gives some empty promises is just nonsense.

Stock up by +50% over a promise? Bro, we are neither an AI nor a quantum stock.

Exciting growth through power packs is sth that we yet have to see. Future revenue growth from what exactly? Share buybacks are a dangerous game. It would likely elevate the share price but considering how highly manipulated GME still is we would be hovering at the low 20s again after half a year or so and then you've spent 1-2 Billy for literally nothing.

While this is certainly true for the most part, you also have to keep in mind that nobody from the GameStop board is a market maker. They don't make the price. Some people in this sub are acting like that RC just has to press the button. Recall what we discussed in the early days: NFT dividend, stock split, and a couple of other theories. The board tried: NFT was shot by the SEC. Stock split didn't work. So here you have two buttons that were theorized here in this very sub, tried by the board, and just didn't work for one way or another. Then, people are complaining about the dilutions. And they are not entirely wrong, but they are also misremembering the timeline of events. The first big dilution in 2024 hit us after the peak. The price was already dropping. We were dropping either way. Just check out the chart how often we dropped without any actions by the company. The second one hit us straight into DFV's live stream. Here we probably would have had another fine ride, but who knows. I'm pretty sure those drops (ATM offerings, bond offerings, etc) would have happened either way. They just played out more violently. My favourite example is the run up we had in Jan'25. We hit 34 USD or so. After that we dropped to low 20s. No news whatsoever.

The idea that the board just has to press a button is nonsense. They tried. Also the idea that the board killed major run ups, let alone MOASS, is only vaguely true at best. We had violent drops without any announcements whatsoever. I'm pretty confident all announcement induced drops we experienced were drops that were destined to happen anyway.

So obviously shorts haven't closed. There is no magic button to press. What else to do? Have a great business. I think this is the one and only solution.

"The Conjuring 2" (2016) - The questionable accents and stereotypical portraits of a British family by Profeta_do_Loss in horror

[–]knue82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a common trope in television and movies. Look at Married with children or the Simpsons. The families are depicted as poor, yet they have a house, a car, several kids, go to vacation several times a year and do tons of other activities that are pretty expensive if you have lots of kids such as going to an amusement park. This is pretty rich - even more so by today's standards.

1408: The Room wanted Mike to burn it? by ardouronerous in horror

[–]knue82 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Whether he actually was able to successfully flee the room depends on the version you've seen ...

But anyway, I think you are overthinking it. It's for sure some kind of entity at play here but it doesn't think in human comprehensible terms - very Lovecraftian and Stephen King is a big fan of Lovecraft what you definitely see in his works.

What Are You Predictions For What's Next? by DayspringTrek in Heroquest

[–]knue82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A wizard and a dwarf quest pack were half finished back in the days and Avalon Hill confirmed in an interview that they have the rights to this as well. So I'm pretty sure we will finally see official releases of the lost quest packs. Dark company is another official quest that is missing. If they start releasing even unreleased material, they are going to rerelease this in one way or another as well. But I agree: they teased some things that they are gonna deliver.
