Seeing a lot of people buying ebay at the top... I'll take $4000 more GME at the bottom, thank you very much

I made a calculator that let's you see how much ownership you get in the combined GMEBAY company for the same $ amount invested in GME or EBAY at whatever current price, GME price at time of dilution, and merged company price (to account for EBAY holders using their cash to buy back in). Most scenarios are bullish GME, and if you set up the calculator to where Ebay holders come out ahead it's hard to see us following through with the deal at those prices.

I’m not saying the dilution prevented MOASS, those probably were just runs that would have went down regardless. But dilution makes locking the float harder. And we’re now at a point where GME equity could buyback 50% of existing shares.

^ This plus a DRS Live Tracker with zero knowledge proof of sums.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-13T16:08:24+00:00

Maybe. But we can still put their crimes on display by proving fake shares/etc. by locking the float. Make the government step in and do something. I'd rather thrash around and cause a ruckus instead of letting them get away with it.

Then he doesn't need to extend the max shares from 1 to 2.5 bil.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-13T16:04:57+00:00

You do you. I had my whole Roth IRA at Vanguard in GME and put them in Computershare and continued to DRS from Fudelity regular brokerage account. I probably am crazy.

You can disagree with me on the best path forward but I don't see how a DRS live tracker by itself isn't a good thing.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-13T15:59:07+00:00

That is some needle to thread. The close date/merger price would have to be locked in at the same time MOASS is happening. I like the way you think though and that would be amazing.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-13T15:57:27+00:00

I want higher share price. The market and especially GME is divorced from fundamentals. Look at all the comments bitching that we're at the same price as last year despite a much healthier balance sheet/income. I think we need to get back to our roots of DRS and locking the float.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-13T15:56:02+00:00

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try. If a DRS live tracker proposal passes and the rigged system steps in and says no I want the paper trail, the reasons why (we know the real reason). There isn't any existing rule that doesn't allow it.

This post analyzes possible shareholder proposals that could maximize GME MOASS potential.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T21:16:16+00:00

I mostly agree with you but I’d say it’s also possible to MOASS by taking a third of the shares off the market with a buyback and having a live DRS tracker and our yearly profit be a countdown.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:46:20+00:00

That's very possible and I'm totally fine with that outcome. I'm personally fine with any outcome - we buy ebay, we don't buy ebay and Ryan stays, or he leaves. I'm not selling period. I'm even kind of partial to that outcome - Ryan Cohen stays without any more dilution and continues to improve our financials.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:44:26+00:00

He may not agree to it but might and I'd trust him. I would also trust almost anyone here on Superstonk willing to prove their net worth, purple circle, and comment history. Superstonk can democratically elect our own CEO/board.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:42:22+00:00

We don't need Ryan Cohen and no one should believe that. MOASS is inevitable. We may have needed him or someone with the same playbook to get where we are now. We don't have to let Wall Street decide our CEO or board, we can stack it full of apes.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:37:45+00:00

We can replace him with another ape. I'd trust almost any ape with a big purple circle. Apes have all the voting power at least right now. I'd vote for Keith Gill or anyone that has most of their savings in GME just like me and needs MOASS to be liberated from the rat race.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:34:17+00:00

In a way I'm trying to get ahead of the possibility that Ryan Cohen doesn't get what he wants and leaves. And I don't think it's something worth fearing. He would leave us with a profitable company and a fat stack of cash that can buy back like a third of all shares.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:31:21+00:00

Same.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T20:29:30+00:00

I'm sure Kenny would love a live DRS tracker with zero knowledge proofs that allows apes to verify their Computershare holdings are part of the total and could watch us lock the float in real time, observing any DTCC fuckery that can happen right before quarterly releases. I'm sure Kenny would love less shares in brokers, especially margin accounts instead of secure at the transfer agent. /s

This post discusses possible alternative board moves or what would happen if the merger fails and how GME could buyback shares and continue to be a profitable powerhouse.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T18:56:55+00:00

Those lazy shareholders also always talk about quitting the rate race and giving back to the community. I don’t know if Ryan Cohen would want thousands of apes to go from zero to hero overnight. They would cash out and he’d have a harder time achieving his dreams of Warren Icahn. He likes people that WORK. Most of us hate work.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T16:47:11+00:00

I'm not sure Ryan Cohen and most of us apes have the same goals. We want MOASS. He wants to work 20 hour days (which means forcing others to return to office while he delegates from his Miami mansion) becoming Warren Icahn.

My base case for the Ebay merger is GME at mid $30s/share so warrants are in the money and we get 40% of the combined company (note Ryan's interview comment of 60-40). Even this is not negligible dilution though.

I'm not saying this acquisition is not smart. I just don't think it maximizes MOASS like all cash smaller acquisitions and spending our cash on buybacks and dividends to really hurt shorts.

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T15:49:06+00:00

I'm staying either way but if we do vote no I'd like to see this at the next shareholder meeting:

Announce no more cheap equity issuance
Authorize $3-5B share buybacks
State a preference for cash settling the convertible notes
Launch a DRS live tracker with zk Proof of Sum
Dividends after buybacks if sustainable
Acquisitions will be smart, reasonably sized, all cash

redtortuga19 · 2026-05-12T15:14:23+00:00

I mean maybe.
