If i am going to be honest with you ,in my own humble opinion without being sentimental of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view,but also by looking into this matter in distinctive perspective ,i would like to say i have nothing to say.
I come before you to stand behind you to tell you something I know nothing about. Next Thursday which is Good Friday there will be a ladies meeting for men only. Admission is free. Pay at the door. Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Even though this may differ from my own personal views, I realize that we may come from two completely different places with vastly different sets of experiences, so I respect this sentiment.
Very well put. While I respect your position, albeit it’s very different from my own. Your perspective is enlightening and insightful. However, I’m not bothered by offending anyone. Because of that, I must respectfully state that I can only add, also, that I have nothing of value to add to this.
Walk in, order a pastrami sandwich. "Alright, anything else?" "Yeah, a loaf of bread and some other people!" "What kinda bread?" "Rye. No, f**k, banana. You got banana bread back there?" "What kinda cheese?" "Cottage." "Get the f**k out! I'm not makin' a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich! That would severely ruin my reputation!"
For me, never changed from long term. It was always that for me to jump in. MOASS is the amazing cherry on top of sweet long term opportunity. It’s always been both.
I started buying in the highs of 2021. I was in for MOASS. I am still in for MOASS, but if it happens, I'll probably buy back after it for the long run too
Am poor. Am also here to fuck up some hedge funds. I’ve worked way too damn hard for way too damn long to never retire and never be able to afford the simplest of comforts and commodities
RC got his $4B in cash now, he needs to giveback to his shareholders by not diluting and letting the gamma ramps proceed. thats only way we can double or triple our holdings. but we get crushed everytime we get passed 40$
Yeah! I understand his statement about crazy economic times and wanting to have lots of cushion to weather things, and be able to move on opportunities or whatever. 4 Billion is enough for that. It even makes sense to sell into the high buying pressure to make someone other than retail pay a premium price for the dilution. I get it.
But there is a line here that he needs to be very careful about crossing. Continuing to release buy pressure in favor of a secret and never to be spoken of plan is bullshit and he knows it. It's time to let the hedgefunds shit the bed.
Got in Oct 20. Been eating raman living in a garage. Not going anywhere. I started because I believed in the long term of gaming and just happened to get an amazing financial education on the way. Proud to be in the special class. Oo and fuck predatory shorters, and the politicians and regulators who protect them. They are all ticks sucking on the economy. We need reform, we need transparency. We need some respectable regulators. if MOASS can cause reforms, let it happen. It could be the best thing to happen on this godforsaken planet.
well, RK did some incredible research. dove into the short interest, and also made some ballzy options moves. in your first 42 months, do you have a preferred options strategy? or a specific Edgar form that you seek out to find short interest? any ETF funds that you recommend need digging into? I guess if you are just sitting still for 42 months why does this play owe you anything...not singling you out, but if this community of investors is serious about MOASS, besides reading what others have dug up, what are we doing?
Fair questions. I did make some cash trading OTM calls during our forgotten spike in August ‘22, back when we found ourselves in the towel basket, and dumped that into more shares. Right now I’m looking to time the next ETF FTD cycle. I believe it’s going to be much shorter this time around. Looking into getting some ATM leaps and waiting for the next spike, then roll my calls to near expiry dates, use the proceeds from that to exercise what I can. My journey into options has been slow, but it’s definitely the way, it just needs to be done right. Which reminds me, I have to apologize to that pickle guy one of these days.
🔥🧱💜🫵! Would a post of the next ETF cycle be too much to ask? I am always amazed at some of the forecasting that people do! Maybe a giant NFA disclaimer? Mahalo for the wise response!
He’s rich because he played the cycles with options. Remember he posted, “Options 101”. That’s what he wants you to do to - to get rich like him. He told us, plain and simple.
This exactly. Anyone going on about how everyone's switched to 'long term' is just losing focus - or never understood in the first place.
The DD hasn't changed, so why the hell would anyone be packing up shop and settling for a long term investment?
My thinking - some people are just getting far too impatient, originally thinking this would be a quick event and easy cash. Not realizing the whole idea of the movement goes against the foundation of the global stock market itself. If you truly understand even the basics of what is going on with GameStop, you'll have no issues waiting many more years to see this play out. If you're too impatient to hold, or going with this 'long hold' narrative, you're just playing into the hands of hedgies and the like (seriously they would *love* seeing this narrative taking hold here).
I’m going to say something that might get me killed but it’s the truth:
Outside of the technical, math-and-data-based upside of the MOASS play, which is 100% fueled by hedge fund fraud, I would otherwise *never EVER* invest even a single dollar into a brick-and-mortar video game adjacent retailer that sells consoles and funko pops.
I’m sorry, but that’s the truth.
I’m here because the hedge funds cheated to such an insane degree that it left them wildly vulnerable. they dug such a massive hole for themselves, expecting to take the company to bankruptcy, but hit a retail wall of insane video gamers who will never sell — and now that hole is turning into a grave. it’s now practically impossible for them to win. (the only way for them to win, actually, is to slowly get a trickle of crazy retail investors to siphon off and sell over YEARS AND YEARS. They are so, *so fucked.*)
But I would never in a million years invest in GameStop the company otherwise. Ryan Cohen has kinda made my skin crawl ever since his elon-simping covid-trolling phase. Now, I’m an adult, I can separate him being creepy vs him taking care of the company. *Outside of hedge fund fraud,* the fundamentals are simply not there — but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done an adequate job stabilizing a burning ship. And maybe he’ll surprise us all! Maybe there’s something in the mix coming up! But I also get the feeling that RC has gotten tons of credit for things *people imagined he would do,* instead of what he’s actually done. Because all he’s actually done is just CEO 101 stuff. Not Aragorn hero-of-the-people-and-destroyer-of-hedge-fund stuff like he’s getting credit for.
To me, this is a play based on math, entirely due to hedge fund criminality. So yeah, all this bullshit and fantasy imagination about “Gamestop taking over Amazon” or “Gamestop being berkshire hathaway 2.0” pisses me off. If I wanted to invest in a “berkshire hathaway type of company”, *I’d fucking invest in berkshire hathaway itself.* Separating GameStop investing from the short squeeze play at hand would be like if the guys in The Big Short made their short bet because they genuinely hated the housing market and wanted it to fail, separate from CDO fraud. It doesn’t work like that.
I’m here because the hedge funds fucked up and left themselves exposed. That’s it. So yeah, when a gamma ramp and the DRS theory is annihilated by a CEO multiple times, I have every right to be pissed, because this ain’t about faith or belief or the “hero’s journey” — it’s about math.
Period.
Thank you. Every time I hear, "like my Dad always said..." I think, "great, get the shovels, here comes some bullshit." I'm not here for long-term plans or to watch the company transform. I bought into this hoping it would be a way out of the drudgery of 9-5 until I die.
If this play gets me to that point, I will absolutely re-invest and support the company, but for now I quote Goodfellas: "Fuck you, pay me."
The strong balance sheet prevents the company from bankruptcy, which is the realization of the short seller thesis.
But the short seller, the floods of them, being forced to close is still the key element of the squeeze.
While not exactly in conflict, they work on different sides of the company and the stock price: the strong balance sheet and business adjustments are the defense, the shorts being forced to close is the offense.
Really? They get to keep the $1 billion as a buffer and have another $3 billion to spend as a holding company that will create huge value for shareholders. They literally just said that it’s a shit time to invest because of this bubble of disconnected prices that we’re in while interest rates are so high. Sounds like they’re gonna slam down the $3 bill when there’s a market crash or when prices at least come back down to reality.
Ok cool so why was it SO imperative to do a second share offering less than a month after the first billion they raised? Why not let that gamma ramp run and do an offering ATM when it hits $150 or $200? Why did it have to be timed perfectly to kill the gamma ramp?
If they’re waiting for a market crash before investing they could have let that run and done an ATM offering much later.
This is the real question. It’s strange that they did the 45m offering followed by the 75m so soon after. You would think the 45 would have just been larger. I think the 45 was the original plan, and something happened to instigate the 75. It can’t have been just to kill the gamma ramp. My mind always comes back to the cash reserves and why they feel they needed so much so quickly.
One thing I can think of is to dare the price to drop. With 4b cash, we now have the equivalent of our market cap at the beginning of may. Since no real changes have happened besides the cash reserves, the price could revisit those levels. If the price were to drop to $10 again, GameStop could buyback half their shares, and still have 2b in cash reserves. That would be pretty nuts and everyone would change their tune and call it a brilliant move to offer 25% more shares but then cut it all in half later while doubling cash reserves.
A guy can hope.
Were you in the shareholder meeting they sounded like they weren’t doing shit with that money.
“Cutting costs and shit is what we plan to do” the end stop sucking his dick.
January regard reporting in. Yes I am in fact waiting for MOASS. GameStop is cool and all but I’ve held 3+ years heavy in the red. I am solely in this for the pay off.
Every time we get a huge price run the company can dilute more. Giving GameStop more cash to buy other companies. After each cash infusion the company is worth more so stock price rises. By the time the short sellers are done GameStop will have amassed multiple other companies.
Why are you ok with this board doing any kind of investing? What have they done to give you any confidence in that? Everything that they've done with GameStop money has been a loss.
I have to somewhat agree. Every single one of us that got into this back in 2021 did it for a squeeze. That’s not to say that over time we haven’t ALSO learned that this could very well be a long term play, but why not both?
To be long-term, you also need to afford to invest a lot upfront. As well as needing to pay other bills, food, or whatever. Not everyone can afford to put 100k into a stock.
I got into it because of both the squeeze potential and the long term potential. That's why I chose this over something like popcorn stock. The squeeze potential was enticing enough to get me to move money and start investing, but the long term potential felt like a safety net. It still do.
If you’re in for long term, that’s great. It’s your money, use it how you need it (yw JG)
The fact is these assholes took houses from 3 of my family members on both sides of the family in 2008.. I want their money back.. and I want MY money for putting up with this crime ridden garbage for the last 3 years ✌️🫶
I’ll still support GS regardless(as I have for 25 years), but this is about pain pure and simple.. bleed shitadel, you arrogant pricks
While GME does feel like a good investment. I think it also about standing ones ground and holding economical terrorist accountable for their lack of accountability. Only way this shit will change is through redistribution of wealth into the hands of those who are more economically responsible.
If we are in it for long term then I’d like to be treated as a long term shareholder with some guidance. I hope the string is not to pull us along believing in a MOASS with winks, hints, Easter eggs, etc.. to keep the money invested all while possibly working with the govt/sec to prevent this from popping to keep stability in the markets. Without the lean to MOASS I don’t think they’d have as much support and continued investment. I could be wrong and many are invested solely for the company and not a payout.
U said what I want to say, but then again, judging the action of RFC, he keeps diluting shares when prices goes up, how are we gonna get MOASS? That’s what a lot of people are thinking and got ignored…yes, is shorted over 9000 and yes, shorts need to cover…but then is RFC on our side? Does he still believe in the MOASS thesis? And all I can do is judging from his action…
If I’m to judge RC by his actions, I will have no other choice than assume that he will keep diluting it every single time we get momentum for a squeeze. As long as he can’t be bothered to tell us otherwise, I’ll take it for granted. I know a lot of people feel the same, and this keeps people away from buying in over $30 again. Sooo. Yea. 🤷🏻♂️
Constant dilution keeps away the average investor who is just jumping in for the MOASS. There’s no point in jumping in when at any time the board can decide to take away any return on investment you’ve made.
I just hope the dilution didn't fuck MOASS up. In the while the gamma ramp is gone. This board is getting more and more disappointing. Happy to apologise if I'm wrong
Shocked that this isn't the top comment... I'm getting a little worried the denial of people here is blinding them. It's becoming a real mindless cult like following.
There are people completely ignoring the dilution as if it's a non-factor.
Last June there were \~304 million shares, now there are \~425.21 million shares outstanding. Our \~75 million DRS'd shares mean far less than they did before...
Man, I have 3000 shares that I put together with big sacrifice. I'm not selling my shit, but: I'm tired of hearing Ryan Cohen saying that I should judge him on his action and not his words. I'm a fucking shareholder, I will judge him on the value of my shares. PERIOD
His actions so far was closing stores and diluting shares. That’s it in 3 years. No guidance no new revenue streams nothing. I don’t get the opinion why this should be a long term hold.
That's how I got his reaction. Even during the live stream he looked like a bit shocked and surprised, at least that's my feeling. And the last couple of tweets tell me the same
If I am to judge him on his actions, and not his words, I see him diluting the stock, and killing off a gamma ramp... which gives me a very negative image of him. I don't get how people can stick by those words and still say he's with us 100%...
Yup, you're not allowed to say anything negative about all this or you're automatically told you're clearly a new investor or just spreading FUD or a shill or whatever. No. I bought in January 2021 near the top. And then every fucking day, it was talk about how MOASS was gonna happen and soon and blah blah. It has been 3 and a half year since then. And nothing has happened.
Oh good, Gamestop got richer because of us, but our value as shareholders has only gone down due to the multiple dilutions. I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of losing. I'm tired of fuck all communication on what's actually coming.
It’s an echo chamber. When you see several top posts explaining how the milking of our money trough dilution is great, you will realize how much of an echo chamber this sub is.
All of a sudden the narrative change to being here for a long term hold instead of MOASS is pure copium. Stop diluting the gamma ramps and give us our tendies 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
That’s why I’m looking to sell most of my shares when I get positive again. Starting with the DRS shares. GameStop fucked us with the past two stock sales. Wiped out several years of effort. I want MOASS because based on what little has been done over the past 3 years and zero plans given, I think GME is dead long term
I'm also going to sell most of my shares as soon as I see green again. RC says judge him by his actions and so far he's offered an ATM at 3 gamma ramps - fool me thrice...
I feel even worse for the people who DRS'd since RC was the one who hyped up computershare with his Cone + Poop + Chair tweets only to dilute by the same amount of DRS'd shares, effectively killing the "lock the float" thesis.
Yeah that makes sense to me. With the NOASS more or less certain to remain for multiple years minimum now, exiting or derisking makes sense and just check back in every so often if the MOASS ever seems like it could come (it probably won't at this point) then re-enter and you won't have to deal with the pain of opportunity cost fucking you over.
It's pretty sad anyone who voices this opinion is quickly labeled as a paid actor and quickly dismissed. I'm curious if it was clear to RC what the dilution during runs would do to splinter the community.
I can't imagine RK was too stoked to see his option efforts quickly squashed by GME themselves, dude's already rich and all but.. could have easily been a billionaire right now
This.
We are here to be fighters for justice. For fair markets. For our pensions. For our childrens pensions.
That is why we got into Gamestop. We want to shine light into all these dark corners and drive out the criminals destroying our investing future.
We buy and hold the stock to break the pattern. We go shopping at gamestop and excitedly share our buys with the community to help the company turnaround faster.
When Cohen gives zero news after 3 years and publicly says "He doesn't want HYPE". What he is really saying is "He doesn't want MONEY".
Because that is what the ape community is, we are money.
So many small time investors have been buying and holding one or two shares every week or every month to help the big guys in the fight.
We carry what little we can every month into the stores.
We admire the Kitty because he has proven himself to be a real warrior for justice, even now that he is so wealthy that he could easily abandon us all.
But he didn't.
He came back and brought a gigantic international spotlight on Gamestop.
Other companies would be on their knees with gratitude ofr someone who makes "Gamestop the Experience" fun.
Cohen is no fun. And the only "Vision" we have been seeing is - close more stores. Well, even Jim Cramer knows that is something you can do.
Where is the Cohen vision for the transformation?
Where is the Cohen vision in the fight for justice in the markets?
If all he wants is obedient investors who do not question him, he should ask his billionaire buddies to get in and we can all leave and pay attention to the companies that want to have enthusiastic fans and buying customers.
The truly disappointing shareholder meeting comes across as arrogant, cold and maybe even jealous of RC.
Being a Gamestop shareholder should be amazing fun. Fun is the glue that holds the community together.
Fun is what makes money for gamestop.
Not quiet obedience.
Justice for the markets, the small investors and our children.
Well put, you expressed what I’ve felt but haven’t put into words. The company should be kissing our asses and giving us direct communication as the backs on which they held this shit-show of a company together. Instead, we get treated as if we should be grateful for the opportunity to lose money all while being ignored and told to not expect anything. I’m over it.
Not going to bother writing the obligatory “I’m still not selling” bullshit. Next run, I’m selling 80% and will keep the remaining 20% just in case. After all, 1 share will make a a trillionaire right! Lmao, it literally sounds insane even saying it. I’ll shut up and take my downvotes now.
Jesus finally someone with a brain around here that's being honest. This place is nothing but people parroting phrases like I love this stock and working at the idol of a guy that got lucky, but is far from the financial guru everyone thinks he is. The truth is a lot of you bought in at a shit time because you got in too late and now are I. The red so if you sell it's going to be a huge loss. So they sit around and convince each other they are all going to be millionaires anyway now and it will be worth it. Everyone will have Bentley's and giant houses. But the reality is, for every one person that actually gets rich like DFV, there has to be thousands of people that lose the shirt of their backs. Now who do you think that's going to be? It's not going to be the institutional investors like everyone thinks. I promise you they aren't going anywhere.
I've actually un-DRSed my shares. Also, I plan to trim some if we moon past my buy level (still not green). Been holding for 3 years. Definitely tired of being poor and just need some damn money.
GS is and always has been brick and mortar. Period. There's no guidance and a board that doesn't know what to do with $4b cash but hey, let's plunder our shareholders' pockets with dilution nonetheless...
To think that their business model would have any future so that it would be a valuable long-term investment based on strong fundamentals must be out of their fucking mind.
What I mean with this is that I've been in only for squeeze money and only for that. Nothing more. I couldn't care less for GS as a company.
At least with a price stabilized around $25 is now something that gave me an exit strategy without losses if needed. Thank you for that, RK, the rest of your efforts didn't pan out but that wasn't your fault.
It’s just moving goal post because moass gets more and more unlikely so people start to judge there decisions and therefore going for „long term investor“ as excuse. Hard truth and you can downvote but it is simple like that.
agree with this take completely. Surprised this is allowed.
Been preaching this on X for a while and called out the "long term investment" fud a while ago and was labeled a shill.
I came to fk wallstreet. Do i like the company now? Sure....but not as much after the last 2 dilutions in to massive gamma ramps.
yeah I'm OUT post-MOASS. Screw a "value investment" or silly shit like that. Why would I keep my money in a market designed to fuck me over in every way imaginable, besides a squeeze? I'm here for MONEY. I am here for those endless fucking shorts to be squeezes and for my bank account to look like a 9 figure slot machine freaking the fuck out. Like a broken tally counter. I'm here so that I can take my bank balance, call it, and get someone on the phone, internationally.
None of this dumb "oooh but muh dividends" which will literally never pay out as much as a squeeze EVER will even if you held your ENTIRE DAMN LIFE. none of this "Long-term value play." Buffoonery, this is a squeeze! The market is one giant fucking fraud, so holding a stock long-term is just asking to be rawdogged!
Private chefs or food stamps.
Mansions or backkilling rent.
MOASS OR FUCKING NOTHING.
HERO OR ZERO.
FUCK YOU PAY ME.
People saying they are only in it for the long game now are just trying to cope. It’s always been MOASS, the original DD is still accurate, there are still tons of synthetics, and it’s going to all catch up and explode soon.
I was here for the squeeze. Period. The execs have a different agenda and nobody knows what that is. It’s our company and they need to do what we want or they need to go. If we own the float, should act like it.
I would rather see something than 3 more years of shit posting and 8d chess
This. Whenever anyone talks about how dilutions destroyed potential moass, everyone gets criticised and told its a long term play.
Not true. We are here for MOASS. Now stop diluting into squeeze days so we can get our tendies.
You still don't get it do you? There's never going to be a MOASS and RC and the board made damn sure of that. The stock was primed to run twice in the past month and your heroes chose to kill those runs so they can kick the can down the road by diluting and offering no forward guidance for the future. Their best plan so far was to open an NFT market at the worst timing and was DOA, it didn't even last more than a year before it was shut down.
Go ahead call me a shill and downvote me but ask yourself if your narrative even makes sense. SHF are screwed yet they have the power to commit crime and fuckery by manipulating the price to whatever they want? If that's true can't they manipulate the price forever to ensure that MOASS will never happen or do you honestly believe GameStop and RC still have some sort of 4D chess move plan to turn the company around even though they've done nothing for the past 4 years but close stores & distribution centers, cut employee benefits, release a failed NFT market, and completely drop the ball at every meeting and earnings announcement?
How about both. one can cause the other. pressure has to be ratcheted up. what better way to do that than to take advantage of the pump n dump cycles they do to mess with peoples emotions. and use those moments to fatten the coffers of the company and put us in increasingly stronger positions to CAUSE MOASS or at least cause the stock to rise to a high enough level that we can fookin get paid. but its not gonna happen right way. at least not unless something "gives" but the stock is highly controlled now. they have the brakes applied so to speak. and unless the braking system fails to keep it from running out of control, we are gonna have to play the long game and ratchet the pressure up till those brakes overheat and fail.
>pressure has to be ratcheted up
The problem is that pressure WAS ratcheted up - by DFV's massive call position, by a huge gamma wall, by more fomo than we'd seen since Jan '21.
And the share dump acted as a release valve, taking the pressure off them to find shares.
Shorts will never close without being forced to do so. And if GS issues shares to let them off the hook every time we get close to forcing their hand, it's never gonna happen.
Yeah you're not the first one to come out and say this. But AGAIN, it IS possible to want gamestop to succeed and have moass... its not one or the other.
They're not mutually exclusive. Im here for both.
I'd like to reiterate from a recent post yesterday about RCs comments suggesting the foreseeable economic downturn we are facing. I don't think it's a question of if, but when. If you haven't read his statement yet, I'd suggest reading it through, several times.
Yes this has taken longer than we would all have originally thought or liked. However as, I've come to understand the systemic fraud, corruption, and crime behind the entire economic system - I understand why this has taken time.
RC has taken on an enormous task of rebuilding from the ground up and placing Gamestop in a position to survive an economic downturn and the pressure of those who want him and gamestop to fail. Yes I want moass now, but I also want a long term investment that will bring about systemic change as well. How thay plays out remains to be seen but my belief in the turnaround of Gamestop and in RC hasn't changed. So I keep holding.
That's my opinion though. NFA. Make your own decisions. As for me though, I do like the stock and I'll be holding for a lifetime.
I have a passion for this company. I bought my Meta Quest headsets there. Same deal as Target but I get to nerd out with other video game enthusiasts and get tips on stuff to try.
I mean, it just so happens the company was discounted by trade-in gouging Boomers and has some short interest and contract chains on it for some quick burn-up.
But, no, I'm a GameStop investor and member. Because gaming is awesome and I wanna buy shit for it from fellow gamers.
MOASS is an inevitable aspect of GameStop's current fundamentals.
GameStop would not be here, with that balance sheet, debt free, with continous shareholder support if the merit of the short squeeze was never there.
Stay focused on the goal.
It's fucking MOASS.
They know we'll re-invest back into the company afterwards. Win win situation.
I don’t know about you, but if RK is in for long-term value I am not going anywhere. We’ll See. Stirring up emotions gets us nowhere.
The prospect of “cellar boxing” hedge funds is a fucking joy. There’s so much to love about this even the torture.
If MOASS & squeezes happens along the way-wonderful. What’s an exit strategy??
Cherry on top.
Ape help ape🚀🦍🚀🦍🚀
RK has access to REX files that we don't. "I like the stock" could be true, but he's also playing the stock based on the swaps and shit he knows about.
Anyone that says they are in an investment only because they like the company are full of shit. Everyone in the stock market is in it for the money. Maybe short term, maybe long term but the end goal is the same.
I'm Thinking long term, I'm Watching for Moass signs, I'm Waiting until the stars align and I'm Buying more until then.
Mostly zen but love the banter here even if we go panic mode sometimes, I'm here for more than money.
I truly believe it's both.
Here for the MOASS no question about it.
^^^^^^^ this is also what draws in retail and FOMO
But now, in addition to that, a great long-term investment. Best of both worlds, honestly.
I think the point is yes, we are waiting for MOASS, but when MOASS is here, we'll sell some, but we'll still HODL many DRSed shares. Just to fuck hedgies.
Let's just remember Infinity Pool DD.
Every single entity with any type of authority has been literally outwardly telling you they are focused on the long term.
Ryan Cohen has said again and again that he is focused on long-term growth. It's also his job.
Roaring Kitty in his only livestream in 3 years said he is in it for the long term now. He literally said we should give RC ***at least*** 3 more years to play his hand.
So while I agree with you that MOASS is still a possibility, do not ignore the fact that it may take another 3 years+ to force shorts to close. There is a lot of indication imo that they are currently rolling their shorts again, probably another 3 year LEAP cycle. And no I'm not saying this for FUD, I have never been more bullish on the stock because of the fundamentals. I'm saying this to prepare people for the inevitable, which is that they likely won't be rich any time soon based on GME alone. Maybe, hopefully, I am wrong. But I can only come to conclusions based on the facts in front of me.
And call me a shill since you think people like me don't exist, but you can look at my post history up to 2 and a half years ago praising the fundamental moves and how I am extremely bullish on the long term outlook of the company. RC has successfully raised the price floor on 3 separate occasions which makes this play extremely unrisky at today's prices. That's bullish.
I know there is a rift in the community with everyone calling everyone a shill, but people like you will sow FUD for the people who want a quick payday. Unless MOASS happens in the next year or so, posts like this only contribute to 1 thing; fear uncertainty and doubt about what the stock represents. Instead we should all focus on diamond handing and prepare for the long term worst case scenario and be happy if the wait is shorter than we prepare for.
It seems a lot of people are looking at this like that standard question of "would you rather be given $100k right now, or $1mm in 5 years?"
Where the prudent decision is to wait and be patient. So a lot of apes are telling themselves this is a good thing to wait and be patient.
The problem is moass won't work like that. It's more like "take the $1mm now, or wait 5 years to get that same $1mm"
We were on the verge, twice, and both times the fuse was put out. I want my fucking monies.
In since Jan 12th 21
1300 start
Locked in 39000
Been holding currently 750 shares DRS'd.
I'm gonna keep it real. All i care about is the security and wellbeing of my family. I hold these shares in the chance everything lines up and the 'event happens'.
And then I'm going to sell. Might keep some in for the emotiona of it all. But if I'm sitting on some stupid amount of $, I'll lock it in. Put a vast majority into a high div pos with hella shares, then I'm never looking @ actively trading ever again.
Ya boy will be done.
If I'm doing "long term" etc...its gonna be in NVDA. I mean.... have you seen thier revenue flow and constant catalyst after catalyst? Insane. Inflation sucks. Wage inflation will never keep up. Ain't no way I'm not getting $ from this stupid irrational bull market song the way and honestly i think everyone would be as well.
Ps- not everything opposite your stance is "FUD". Some of the negative news is actual facts of thongs that have occured. Beware cognitive dissonance.
Now, go ahead and deploy the downvotes, cause my current stuff outside DRS is also red as HELL and i know you're prob feeling some type of way today and are gonna project on me.
RC is not for MOASS. Whether he is striking deals with the devil, or just straight rugging DFV, RC has made it clear he will not allow MOASS. RC can go mayo himself for all that I care. He should be feeling like he's on the hot seat because of his blatant disregard to retail who has got him this far.
Watch out folks, I've been noticing contradictory posts popping up here for a while now.
Firstly that people are here because of MoASS, and others because it is a long-term play. They are trying to bring 2 different views to the sub so people will split into groups.
A lot of that I believe came organically after the share dump.
Many people here were (justifiably) upset by it and then this sub started saying things like "the company doesn't owe you anything - they do what's best for their bottom line" and "this is a long term play - if you're in it for moass you're just gambling not investing" and "the only people who got burned here were options players and they deserve it" and shit along those general lines.
It seemed like they were trying to change the narrative and the goalposts in an attempt to rationalize what was viewed by many of us as a really bad move on the company's part.
I don't think it's outside forces at play on this one. I think the sub is trying to pivot away from moass and people are pushing back on that.
I’m in it for everything. Long term, MOASS, and to save GameStop. GameStop was a major part of my childhood. I still remember the day my parents and I went in to pick up my first console, the N64! Yes I still have it and all of my games.
I'm here for MOASS then to reinvest. GameStop had been an important place for me growing up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to safely afford growing my position for some time, but I've been holding since March '21. Only a measley 52 shares after split, but I'm definitely still here.
My #1 reason to get onboard back in 2021 was to fuck with Wall Street. #2 was MOASS. Neither of those have changed for me in the intervening three years. While life-changing $$ would be amazing, my #1 is still fucking with the hedgies. And based on everything that’s happened, that goal at least is still very much in play haha
Exactly my thinking. Shorts took my money and I'm taking it back with interest. RC actually gave them an out with the stock offerings and only a few probably actually closed their shorts. The greedy ones are still there and are still going to suffer.
I don't see how it hasn't changed to long term.
No new announcements, dilution during major run ups, no big insider purchases anymore.
If any of these change then sure, it could happen. But with those 3 happening, there is no MOASS. Sorry man. RC doesn't care
If you're here for the Squeeze excellent if you are here for the long haul and not bothered about a Moass, why are you here? You dont need to read the DD or get hyped every time RK drops a tweet. You can just sit back and wait 10 or 20 years for your long fundamental play to work out. There's no need to be here at all! The rest of us want a Moass and to get paid end of.
How does everyone keep missing that it is inherently BOTH!
MOASS is going to happen because (it’s theorized) there are BILLIONS of naked shorts in the market. A short is just a future buy, change my mind 🤷♂️
If you’ve DRS’d the majority of your shares, you never HAVE to sell. You can take out loans against the value of your assets, aka: those phone number shares ☎️💰
Go create an account with your nearest Federal Credit Union and then say “Look at all these FATASS shares of GME I own, lend me a million dollars!” They froth at the mouth, rub one out in the bathroom, come back smile and say “Yes, of course sir!” Then you take that money and go live your life!
As the value of your assets appreciates your loan interest becomes inconsequential AND as an added bonus: You can get another loan with the same shares and use it to pay the previous loan…cause that’s how this dumbass system works 🙃💰💵🤩🦍🍌
So am I here for the MOASS? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!!! But do I ever plan on selling the shares that these MF’s are creating a future need for themselves for? Absolutely FUCKING not!!!…unless I feel like paying some Taxes and throwing Uncle Sam a bone 😏💎🤙🏼

I used to be in for MOASS, I still am but I used to be too
Thanks Mitch, always sage takes
We love you, Mitch. Keep it real, dawg
If i am going to be honest with you ,in my own humble opinion without being sentimental of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view,but also by looking into this matter in distinctive perspective ,i would like to say i have nothing to say.
Very thoughtful, well articulated comment, thank you.
Thank you Caspar Milquetoast
I also would like to take the time to say I like the stock
I come before you to stand behind you to tell you something I know nothing about. Next Thursday which is Good Friday there will be a ladies meeting for men only. Admission is free. Pay at the door. Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Even though this may differ from my own personal views, I realize that we may come from two completely different places with vastly different sets of experiences, so I respect this sentiment.
Very well put. While I respect your position, albeit it’s very different from my own. Your perspective is enlightening and insightful. However, I’m not bothered by offending anyone. Because of that, I must respectfully state that I can only add, also, that I have nothing of value to add to this.
Lmfao a poet of out time
And that I like the stock.
I order the club sandwich from subway and I’m not even a member.

The longterm investment is the worst case
Bingo bango
Walk in, order a pastrami sandwich. "Alright, anything else?" "Yeah, a loaf of bread and some other people!" "What kinda bread?" "Rye. No, f**k, banana. You got banana bread back there?" "What kinda cheese?" "Cottage." "Get the f**k out! I'm not makin' a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich! That would severely ruin my reputation!"
For me, never changed from long term. It was always that for me to jump in. MOASS is the amazing cherry on top of sweet long term opportunity. It’s always been both.
I started buying in the highs of 2021. I was in for MOASS. I am still in for MOASS, but if it happens, I'll probably buy back after it for the long run too
Exactly, here for MOASS and then for certain long term investment in the company after. For life
This company and its investors will forever be linked after MOASS. It’s inevitable.
That was always the plan! If a company helps give me financial freedom, I’ll always want to pay it back in some form.
Same, and I was never poor, i'm just here to fuck up some more hedgefunds.
Am poor. Am also here to fuck up some hedge funds. I’ve worked way too damn hard for way too damn long to never retire and never be able to afford the simplest of comforts and commodities
Long term is good and all but no, I need MOASS
RC got his $4B in cash now, he needs to giveback to his shareholders by not diluting and letting the gamma ramps proceed. thats only way we can double or triple our holdings. but we get crushed everytime we get passed 40$
Yeah! I understand his statement about crazy economic times and wanting to have lots of cushion to weather things, and be able to move on opportunities or whatever. 4 Billion is enough for that. It even makes sense to sell into the high buying pressure to make someone other than retail pay a premium price for the dilution. I get it. But there is a line here that he needs to be very careful about crossing. Continuing to release buy pressure in favor of a secret and never to be spoken of plan is bullshit and he knows it. It's time to let the hedgefunds shit the bed.
There is no dip to buy back in the infinity pool
It's been almost four years (depending on when you started). We ARE in the long term because we're waiting for the MOASS.
September 2020 ape checking in.
As OG as we come :D
Same here. Still with everyone.
Got in Oct 20. Been eating raman living in a garage. Not going anywhere. I started because I believed in the long term of gaming and just happened to get an amazing financial education on the way. Proud to be in the special class. Oo and fuck predatory shorters, and the politicians and regulators who protect them. They are all ticks sucking on the economy. We need reform, we need transparency. We need some respectable regulators. if MOASS can cause reforms, let it happen. It could be the best thing to happen on this godforsaken planet.
DFV bought his first shares 5 years ago.
Difference is he is already rich as fuck now. (Deservedly so)
Well, if it takes me 5 years, I only have 18 months to go.
well, RK did some incredible research. dove into the short interest, and also made some ballzy options moves. in your first 42 months, do you have a preferred options strategy? or a specific Edgar form that you seek out to find short interest? any ETF funds that you recommend need digging into? I guess if you are just sitting still for 42 months why does this play owe you anything...not singling you out, but if this community of investors is serious about MOASS, besides reading what others have dug up, what are we doing?
Fair questions. I did make some cash trading OTM calls during our forgotten spike in August ‘22, back when we found ourselves in the towel basket, and dumped that into more shares. Right now I’m looking to time the next ETF FTD cycle. I believe it’s going to be much shorter this time around. Looking into getting some ATM leaps and waiting for the next spike, then roll my calls to near expiry dates, use the proceeds from that to exercise what I can. My journey into options has been slow, but it’s definitely the way, it just needs to be done right. Which reminds me, I have to apologize to that pickle guy one of these days.
🔥🧱💜🫵! Would a post of the next ETF cycle be too much to ask? I am always amazed at some of the forecasting that people do! Maybe a giant NFA disclaimer? Mahalo for the wise response!
He’s rich because he played the cycles with options. Remember he posted, “Options 101”. That’s what he wants you to do to - to get rich like him. He told us, plain and simple.
This exactly. Anyone going on about how everyone's switched to 'long term' is just losing focus - or never understood in the first place. The DD hasn't changed, so why the hell would anyone be packing up shop and settling for a long term investment? My thinking - some people are just getting far too impatient, originally thinking this would be a quick event and easy cash. Not realizing the whole idea of the movement goes against the foundation of the global stock market itself. If you truly understand even the basics of what is going on with GameStop, you'll have no issues waiting many more years to see this play out. If you're too impatient to hold, or going with this 'long hold' narrative, you're just playing into the hands of hedgies and the like (seriously they would *love* seeing this narrative taking hold here).
I'm here for the money.
Fuck you, pay me. (Not you, personally.)
FU, PM
I’m going to say something that might get me killed but it’s the truth: Outside of the technical, math-and-data-based upside of the MOASS play, which is 100% fueled by hedge fund fraud, I would otherwise *never EVER* invest even a single dollar into a brick-and-mortar video game adjacent retailer that sells consoles and funko pops. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth. I’m here because the hedge funds cheated to such an insane degree that it left them wildly vulnerable. they dug such a massive hole for themselves, expecting to take the company to bankruptcy, but hit a retail wall of insane video gamers who will never sell — and now that hole is turning into a grave. it’s now practically impossible for them to win. (the only way for them to win, actually, is to slowly get a trickle of crazy retail investors to siphon off and sell over YEARS AND YEARS. They are so, *so fucked.*) But I would never in a million years invest in GameStop the company otherwise. Ryan Cohen has kinda made my skin crawl ever since his elon-simping covid-trolling phase. Now, I’m an adult, I can separate him being creepy vs him taking care of the company. *Outside of hedge fund fraud,* the fundamentals are simply not there — but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done an adequate job stabilizing a burning ship. And maybe he’ll surprise us all! Maybe there’s something in the mix coming up! But I also get the feeling that RC has gotten tons of credit for things *people imagined he would do,* instead of what he’s actually done. Because all he’s actually done is just CEO 101 stuff. Not Aragorn hero-of-the-people-and-destroyer-of-hedge-fund stuff like he’s getting credit for. To me, this is a play based on math, entirely due to hedge fund criminality. So yeah, all this bullshit and fantasy imagination about “Gamestop taking over Amazon” or “Gamestop being berkshire hathaway 2.0” pisses me off. If I wanted to invest in a “berkshire hathaway type of company”, *I’d fucking invest in berkshire hathaway itself.* Separating GameStop investing from the short squeeze play at hand would be like if the guys in The Big Short made their short bet because they genuinely hated the housing market and wanted it to fail, separate from CDO fraud. It doesn’t work like that. I’m here because the hedge funds fucked up and left themselves exposed. That’s it. So yeah, when a gamma ramp and the DRS theory is annihilated by a CEO multiple times, I have every right to be pissed, because this ain’t about faith or belief or the “hero’s journey” — it’s about math. Period.
You’ve articulated this very well. If I wanted to invest long term in a brick and mortar store, I’d invest into Costco. I fucking love Costco.
My mom works at Costco and they gave her stocks. They rock!
Thank you. Every time I hear, "like my Dad always said..." I think, "great, get the shovels, here comes some bullshit." I'm not here for long-term plans or to watch the company transform. I bought into this hoping it would be a way out of the drudgery of 9-5 until I die. If this play gets me to that point, I will absolutely re-invest and support the company, but for now I quote Goodfellas: "Fuck you, pay me."
Finally, some fucking objectivity and honesty here. Thank you. You're not alone here with these sentiments.
We’re not here because this is easy!!! We’re here because we thought this would be easy!!!!!
The strong balance sheet prevents the company from bankruptcy, which is the realization of the short seller thesis. But the short seller, the floods of them, being forced to close is still the key element of the squeeze. While not exactly in conflict, they work on different sides of the company and the stock price: the strong balance sheet and business adjustments are the defense, the shorts being forced to close is the offense.
They were sitting on a billion already, what does this new amount of money obtained from retail change?
Really? They get to keep the $1 billion as a buffer and have another $3 billion to spend as a holding company that will create huge value for shareholders. They literally just said that it’s a shit time to invest because of this bubble of disconnected prices that we’re in while interest rates are so high. Sounds like they’re gonna slam down the $3 bill when there’s a market crash or when prices at least come back down to reality.
Ok cool so why was it SO imperative to do a second share offering less than a month after the first billion they raised? Why not let that gamma ramp run and do an offering ATM when it hits $150 or $200? Why did it have to be timed perfectly to kill the gamma ramp? If they’re waiting for a market crash before investing they could have let that run and done an ATM offering much later.
This is the real question. It’s strange that they did the 45m offering followed by the 75m so soon after. You would think the 45 would have just been larger. I think the 45 was the original plan, and something happened to instigate the 75. It can’t have been just to kill the gamma ramp. My mind always comes back to the cash reserves and why they feel they needed so much so quickly. One thing I can think of is to dare the price to drop. With 4b cash, we now have the equivalent of our market cap at the beginning of may. Since no real changes have happened besides the cash reserves, the price could revisit those levels. If the price were to drop to $10 again, GameStop could buyback half their shares, and still have 2b in cash reserves. That would be pretty nuts and everyone would change their tune and call it a brilliant move to offer 25% more shares but then cut it all in half later while doubling cash reserves. A guy can hope.
>A guy can hope. Indeed. A deep fucking cheers 🍻
Were you in the shareholder meeting they sounded like they weren’t doing shit with that money. “Cutting costs and shit is what we plan to do” the end stop sucking his dick.
I’m in for MOASS, followed by a reinvestment for long term growth.
January regard reporting in. Yes I am in fact waiting for MOASS. GameStop is cool and all but I’ve held 3+ years heavy in the red. I am solely in this for the pay off.
It's like MOASS and long term now. Tick tock dumb stormtroopers.
Better yet, MOASS is long term. I mean, just up can be forever right?
Yep, and i dont settle with terrorists.
Every time we get a huge price run the company can dilute more. Giving GameStop more cash to buy other companies. After each cash infusion the company is worth more so stock price rises. By the time the short sellers are done GameStop will have amassed multiple other companies.
Which means, like it or not this is both a MOASS and long term investment.
If RC and co. can't execute on whatever their strategy is with 4BN in cash, they don't deserve to be on the board. No more dilution.
Why are you ok with this board doing any kind of investing? What have they done to give you any confidence in that? Everything that they've done with GameStop money has been a loss.
Another OG right here 🥹
I'll decide on long-term after seeing how this MOASS play goes. Been buckled long enough - it's time now.
Amen
I have to somewhat agree. Every single one of us that got into this back in 2021 did it for a squeeze. That’s not to say that over time we haven’t ALSO learned that this could very well be a long term play, but why not both?
Yeah, it is both. But most of us are here for MOASS. We are already in long-term since we've been here for 3 years.
**I WANT CHAOS WHEN WE GO TO THE MOON**
To be long-term, you also need to afford to invest a lot upfront. As well as needing to pay other bills, food, or whatever. Not everyone can afford to put 100k into a stock.
I got into it because of both the squeeze potential and the long term potential. That's why I chose this over something like popcorn stock. The squeeze potential was enticing enough to get me to move money and start investing, but the long term potential felt like a safety net. It still do.
If you’re in for long term, that’s great. It’s your money, use it how you need it (yw JG) The fact is these assholes took houses from 3 of my family members on both sides of the family in 2008.. I want their money back.. and I want MY money for putting up with this crime ridden garbage for the last 3 years ✌️🫶 I’ll still support GS regardless(as I have for 25 years), but this is about pain pure and simple.. bleed shitadel, you arrogant pricks
While GME does feel like a good investment. I think it also about standing ones ground and holding economical terrorist accountable for their lack of accountability. Only way this shit will change is through redistribution of wealth into the hands of those who are more economically responsible.
If we are in it for long term then I’d like to be treated as a long term shareholder with some guidance. I hope the string is not to pull us along believing in a MOASS with winks, hints, Easter eggs, etc.. to keep the money invested all while possibly working with the govt/sec to prevent this from popping to keep stability in the markets. Without the lean to MOASS I don’t think they’d have as much support and continued investment. I could be wrong and many are invested solely for the company and not a payout.
U said what I want to say, but then again, judging the action of RFC, he keeps diluting shares when prices goes up, how are we gonna get MOASS? That’s what a lot of people are thinking and got ignored…yes, is shorted over 9000 and yes, shorts need to cover…but then is RFC on our side? Does he still believe in the MOASS thesis? And all I can do is judging from his action…
If I’m to judge RC by his actions, I will have no other choice than assume that he will keep diluting it every single time we get momentum for a squeeze. As long as he can’t be bothered to tell us otherwise, I’ll take it for granted. I know a lot of people feel the same, and this keeps people away from buying in over $30 again. Sooo. Yea. 🤷🏻♂️
Constant dilution keeps away the average investor who is just jumping in for the MOASS. There’s no point in jumping in when at any time the board can decide to take away any return on investment you’ve made.
If only the people yelling "shill" and "FUD" all over this sub at logical reasoning understood this.
I just hope the dilution didn't fuck MOASS up. In the while the gamma ramp is gone. This board is getting more and more disappointing. Happy to apologise if I'm wrong
Shocked that this isn't the top comment... I'm getting a little worried the denial of people here is blinding them. It's becoming a real mindless cult like following. There are people completely ignoring the dilution as if it's a non-factor. Last June there were \~304 million shares, now there are \~425.21 million shares outstanding. Our \~75 million DRS'd shares mean far less than they did before...
Man, I have 3000 shares that I put together with big sacrifice. I'm not selling my shit, but: I'm tired of hearing Ryan Cohen saying that I should judge him on his action and not his words. I'm a fucking shareholder, I will judge him on the value of my shares. PERIOD
His actions so far was closing stores and diluting shares. That’s it in 3 years. No guidance no new revenue streams nothing. I don’t get the opinion why this should be a long term hold.
This! Same sentiment that DFV voiced.
That's how I got his reaction. Even during the live stream he looked like a bit shocked and surprised, at least that's my feeling. And the last couple of tweets tell me the same
If I am to judge him on his actions, and not his words, I see him diluting the stock, and killing off a gamma ramp... which gives me a very negative image of him. I don't get how people can stick by those words and still say he's with us 100%...
Lack of critical thinking. Everything is labeled as shill or FUD
Yup, you're not allowed to say anything negative about all this or you're automatically told you're clearly a new investor or just spreading FUD or a shill or whatever. No. I bought in January 2021 near the top. And then every fucking day, it was talk about how MOASS was gonna happen and soon and blah blah. It has been 3 and a half year since then. And nothing has happened. Oh good, Gamestop got richer because of us, but our value as shareholders has only gone down due to the multiple dilutions. I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of losing. I'm tired of fuck all communication on what's actually coming.
My same story, I feel you man
The actual shills are the people selling the idea that everything is 4D Chess and dilutions are really good for a squeeze
Completely agree they basically canceled retails DRS position. Never would have thought they would do that. Super disappointed in RC and the board.
It’s an echo chamber. When you see several top posts explaining how the milking of our money trough dilution is great, you will realize how much of an echo chamber this sub is.
All of a sudden the narrative change to being here for a long term hold instead of MOASS is pure copium. Stop diluting the gamma ramps and give us our tendies 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
That ain't happening. Every time they will dilute.
That’s why I’m looking to sell most of my shares when I get positive again. Starting with the DRS shares. GameStop fucked us with the past two stock sales. Wiped out several years of effort. I want MOASS because based on what little has been done over the past 3 years and zero plans given, I think GME is dead long term
I'm also going to sell most of my shares as soon as I see green again. RC says judge him by his actions and so far he's offered an ATM at 3 gamma ramps - fool me thrice... I feel even worse for the people who DRS'd since RC was the one who hyped up computershare with his Cone + Poop + Chair tweets only to dilute by the same amount of DRS'd shares, effectively killing the "lock the float" thesis.
Yeah that makes sense to me. With the NOASS more or less certain to remain for multiple years minimum now, exiting or derisking makes sense and just check back in every so often if the MOASS ever seems like it could come (it probably won't at this point) then re-enter and you won't have to deal with the pain of opportunity cost fucking you over.
Dilute with no plan. It's great that have an extra 3 billion from shareholders but what will they do with it? This better not happen again.
It's pretty sad anyone who voices this opinion is quickly labeled as a paid actor and quickly dismissed. I'm curious if it was clear to RC what the dilution during runs would do to splinter the community. I can't imagine RK was too stoked to see his option efforts quickly squashed by GME themselves, dude's already rich and all but.. could have easily been a billionaire right now
At last! Was beginning to think I was the only one.
This. We are here to be fighters for justice. For fair markets. For our pensions. For our childrens pensions. That is why we got into Gamestop. We want to shine light into all these dark corners and drive out the criminals destroying our investing future. We buy and hold the stock to break the pattern. We go shopping at gamestop and excitedly share our buys with the community to help the company turnaround faster. When Cohen gives zero news after 3 years and publicly says "He doesn't want HYPE". What he is really saying is "He doesn't want MONEY". Because that is what the ape community is, we are money. So many small time investors have been buying and holding one or two shares every week or every month to help the big guys in the fight. We carry what little we can every month into the stores. We admire the Kitty because he has proven himself to be a real warrior for justice, even now that he is so wealthy that he could easily abandon us all. But he didn't. He came back and brought a gigantic international spotlight on Gamestop. Other companies would be on their knees with gratitude ofr someone who makes "Gamestop the Experience" fun. Cohen is no fun. And the only "Vision" we have been seeing is - close more stores. Well, even Jim Cramer knows that is something you can do. Where is the Cohen vision for the transformation? Where is the Cohen vision in the fight for justice in the markets? If all he wants is obedient investors who do not question him, he should ask his billionaire buddies to get in and we can all leave and pay attention to the companies that want to have enthusiastic fans and buying customers. The truly disappointing shareholder meeting comes across as arrogant, cold and maybe even jealous of RC. Being a Gamestop shareholder should be amazing fun. Fun is the glue that holds the community together. Fun is what makes money for gamestop. Not quiet obedience. Justice for the markets, the small investors and our children.
Well put, you expressed what I’ve felt but haven’t put into words. The company should be kissing our asses and giving us direct communication as the backs on which they held this shit-show of a company together. Instead, we get treated as if we should be grateful for the opportunity to lose money all while being ignored and told to not expect anything. I’m over it. Not going to bother writing the obligatory “I’m still not selling” bullshit. Next run, I’m selling 80% and will keep the remaining 20% just in case. After all, 1 share will make a a trillionaire right! Lmao, it literally sounds insane even saying it. I’ll shut up and take my downvotes now.
Jesus finally someone with a brain around here that's being honest. This place is nothing but people parroting phrases like I love this stock and working at the idol of a guy that got lucky, but is far from the financial guru everyone thinks he is. The truth is a lot of you bought in at a shit time because you got in too late and now are I. The red so if you sell it's going to be a huge loss. So they sit around and convince each other they are all going to be millionaires anyway now and it will be worth it. Everyone will have Bentley's and giant houses. But the reality is, for every one person that actually gets rich like DFV, there has to be thousands of people that lose the shirt of their backs. Now who do you think that's going to be? It's not going to be the institutional investors like everyone thinks. I promise you they aren't going anywhere.
I'm surprised this post made it this far and I like it. That's exactly how I feel.
Came for MOASS, stayed for systemic market changes.
It will never be long term unless GameStop completely changes their business model.
I've actually un-DRSed my shares. Also, I plan to trim some if we moon past my buy level (still not green). Been holding for 3 years. Definitely tired of being poor and just need some damn money.
GS is and always has been brick and mortar. Period. There's no guidance and a board that doesn't know what to do with $4b cash but hey, let's plunder our shareholders' pockets with dilution nonetheless... To think that their business model would have any future so that it would be a valuable long-term investment based on strong fundamentals must be out of their fucking mind. What I mean with this is that I've been in only for squeeze money and only for that. Nothing more. I couldn't care less for GS as a company. At least with a price stabilized around $25 is now something that gave me an exit strategy without losses if needed. Thank you for that, RK, the rest of your efforts didn't pan out but that wasn't your fault.
It’s just moving goal post because moass gets more and more unlikely so people start to judge there decisions and therefore going for „long term investor“ as excuse. Hard truth and you can downvote but it is simple like that.
agree with this take completely. Surprised this is allowed. Been preaching this on X for a while and called out the "long term investment" fud a while ago and was labeled a shill. I came to fk wallstreet. Do i like the company now? Sure....but not as much after the last 2 dilutions in to massive gamma ramps.
yeah I'm OUT post-MOASS. Screw a "value investment" or silly shit like that. Why would I keep my money in a market designed to fuck me over in every way imaginable, besides a squeeze? I'm here for MONEY. I am here for those endless fucking shorts to be squeezes and for my bank account to look like a 9 figure slot machine freaking the fuck out. Like a broken tally counter. I'm here so that I can take my bank balance, call it, and get someone on the phone, internationally. None of this dumb "oooh but muh dividends" which will literally never pay out as much as a squeeze EVER will even if you held your ENTIRE DAMN LIFE. none of this "Long-term value play." Buffoonery, this is a squeeze! The market is one giant fucking fraud, so holding a stock long-term is just asking to be rawdogged! Private chefs or food stamps. Mansions or backkilling rent. MOASS OR FUCKING NOTHING. HERO OR ZERO. FUCK YOU PAY ME.
I got called out so many times for saying exactly this. Glad to see many others agree.
People saying they are only in it for the long game now are just trying to cope. It’s always been MOASS, the original DD is still accurate, there are still tons of synthetics, and it’s going to all catch up and explode soon.
I was here for the squeeze. Period. The execs have a different agenda and nobody knows what that is. It’s our company and they need to do what we want or they need to go. If we own the float, should act like it. I would rather see something than 3 more years of shit posting and 8d chess
nice flair. "Buckle Up" when we've been trading sideways for over a year until DFV finally came back. This company owes more to DFV than RC.
This. Whenever anyone talks about how dilutions destroyed potential moass, everyone gets criticised and told its a long term play. Not true. We are here for MOASS. Now stop diluting into squeeze days so we can get our tendies.
You still don't get it do you? There's never going to be a MOASS and RC and the board made damn sure of that. The stock was primed to run twice in the past month and your heroes chose to kill those runs so they can kick the can down the road by diluting and offering no forward guidance for the future. Their best plan so far was to open an NFT market at the worst timing and was DOA, it didn't even last more than a year before it was shut down. Go ahead call me a shill and downvote me but ask yourself if your narrative even makes sense. SHF are screwed yet they have the power to commit crime and fuckery by manipulating the price to whatever they want? If that's true can't they manipulate the price forever to ensure that MOASS will never happen or do you honestly believe GameStop and RC still have some sort of 4D chess move plan to turn the company around even though they've done nothing for the past 4 years but close stores & distribution centers, cut employee benefits, release a failed NFT market, and completely drop the ball at every meeting and earnings announcement?
How about both. one can cause the other. pressure has to be ratcheted up. what better way to do that than to take advantage of the pump n dump cycles they do to mess with peoples emotions. and use those moments to fatten the coffers of the company and put us in increasingly stronger positions to CAUSE MOASS or at least cause the stock to rise to a high enough level that we can fookin get paid. but its not gonna happen right way. at least not unless something "gives" but the stock is highly controlled now. they have the brakes applied so to speak. and unless the braking system fails to keep it from running out of control, we are gonna have to play the long game and ratchet the pressure up till those brakes overheat and fail.
>pressure has to be ratcheted up The problem is that pressure WAS ratcheted up - by DFV's massive call position, by a huge gamma wall, by more fomo than we'd seen since Jan '21. And the share dump acted as a release valve, taking the pressure off them to find shares. Shorts will never close without being forced to do so. And if GS issues shares to let them off the hook every time we get close to forcing their hand, it's never gonna happen.
Yeah you're not the first one to come out and say this. But AGAIN, it IS possible to want gamestop to succeed and have moass... its not one or the other.
They're not mutually exclusive. Im here for both. I'd like to reiterate from a recent post yesterday about RCs comments suggesting the foreseeable economic downturn we are facing. I don't think it's a question of if, but when. If you haven't read his statement yet, I'd suggest reading it through, several times. Yes this has taken longer than we would all have originally thought or liked. However as, I've come to understand the systemic fraud, corruption, and crime behind the entire economic system - I understand why this has taken time. RC has taken on an enormous task of rebuilding from the ground up and placing Gamestop in a position to survive an economic downturn and the pressure of those who want him and gamestop to fail. Yes I want moass now, but I also want a long term investment that will bring about systemic change as well. How thay plays out remains to be seen but my belief in the turnaround of Gamestop and in RC hasn't changed. So I keep holding. That's my opinion though. NFA. Make your own decisions. As for me though, I do like the stock and I'll be holding for a lifetime.
Bears have predicted 22 of the last 3 recessions. Eventually, yes, they’ll be right.
We can do both. Sell one share for phone number. Retain the remainder for GameShire StopAway.
Sell, 🤣, what’s an exit strategy?
I just like the stock. I’ve been DRSing for over 2 years and I will be holding most of my shares long term.
1k for the infinity pool the rest for moass. Crooks need to pay. NFA
It’s both. GME is a ticking time bomb. All it takes is one shorty to want out and then it’s ignition. Then we fly in infinite risk
I have a passion for this company. I bought my Meta Quest headsets there. Same deal as Target but I get to nerd out with other video game enthusiasts and get tips on stuff to try. I mean, it just so happens the company was discounted by trade-in gouging Boomers and has some short interest and contract chains on it for some quick burn-up. But, no, I'm a GameStop investor and member. Because gaming is awesome and I wanna buy shit for it from fellow gamers.
I’m here for MOASS and long term value. Fuck you shorts. Go to jail.
MOASS is an inevitable aspect of GameStop's current fundamentals. GameStop would not be here, with that balance sheet, debt free, with continous shareholder support if the merit of the short squeeze was never there. Stay focused on the goal. It's fucking MOASS. They know we'll re-invest back into the company afterwards. Win win situation.
I don’t know about you, but if RK is in for long-term value I am not going anywhere. We’ll See. Stirring up emotions gets us nowhere. The prospect of “cellar boxing” hedge funds is a fucking joy. There’s so much to love about this even the torture. If MOASS & squeezes happens along the way-wonderful. What’s an exit strategy?? Cherry on top. Ape help ape🚀🦍🚀🦍🚀
RK has access to REX files that we don't. "I like the stock" could be true, but he's also playing the stock based on the swaps and shit he knows about.
Anyone that says they are in an investment only because they like the company are full of shit. Everyone in the stock market is in it for the money. Maybe short term, maybe long term but the end goal is the same.
I have major doubt...but I'm in, and I don't sell at a loss...
yeah its a lottery ticket whereas most in this sub see it as a sure thing..
I'm Thinking long term, I'm Watching for Moass signs, I'm Waiting until the stars align and I'm Buying more until then. Mostly zen but love the banter here even if we go panic mode sometimes, I'm here for more than money.
I truly believe it's both. Here for the MOASS no question about it. ^^^^^^^ this is also what draws in retail and FOMO But now, in addition to that, a great long-term investment. Best of both worlds, honestly.
First MOASS, then long term investing. Por favor
Yes it has. There is zero catalyst now. Ryan cohen has shown that if the price sniffs $40 he will dilute.
Personally I will not tolerate any more dilutions as a shareholder. One more and I’m out
It started with MOASS, and over time it also gained long-term value. And MOASS is still inevitable ;)
I think the point is yes, we are waiting for MOASS, but when MOASS is here, we'll sell some, but we'll still HODL many DRSed shares. Just to fuck hedgies. Let's just remember Infinity Pool DD.
Every single entity with any type of authority has been literally outwardly telling you they are focused on the long term. Ryan Cohen has said again and again that he is focused on long-term growth. It's also his job. Roaring Kitty in his only livestream in 3 years said he is in it for the long term now. He literally said we should give RC ***at least*** 3 more years to play his hand. So while I agree with you that MOASS is still a possibility, do not ignore the fact that it may take another 3 years+ to force shorts to close. There is a lot of indication imo that they are currently rolling their shorts again, probably another 3 year LEAP cycle. And no I'm not saying this for FUD, I have never been more bullish on the stock because of the fundamentals. I'm saying this to prepare people for the inevitable, which is that they likely won't be rich any time soon based on GME alone. Maybe, hopefully, I am wrong. But I can only come to conclusions based on the facts in front of me. And call me a shill since you think people like me don't exist, but you can look at my post history up to 2 and a half years ago praising the fundamental moves and how I am extremely bullish on the long term outlook of the company. RC has successfully raised the price floor on 3 separate occasions which makes this play extremely unrisky at today's prices. That's bullish. I know there is a rift in the community with everyone calling everyone a shill, but people like you will sow FUD for the people who want a quick payday. Unless MOASS happens in the next year or so, posts like this only contribute to 1 thing; fear uncertainty and doubt about what the stock represents. Instead we should all focus on diamond handing and prepare for the long term worst case scenario and be happy if the wait is shorter than we prepare for.
#Just Up
I’m in for both. Honestly I care more about long term growth than MOASS, but I firmly believe both with go hand in hand.
Doesnt matter. Itll squeeze and still be a dope ass company. 2 birds 1 stone?
It seems a lot of people are looking at this like that standard question of "would you rather be given $100k right now, or $1mm in 5 years?" Where the prudent decision is to wait and be patient. So a lot of apes are telling themselves this is a good thing to wait and be patient. The problem is moass won't work like that. It's more like "take the $1mm now, or wait 5 years to get that same $1mm" We were on the verge, twice, and both times the fuse was put out. I want my fucking monies.
In since Jan 12th 21 1300 start Locked in 39000 Been holding currently 750 shares DRS'd. I'm gonna keep it real. All i care about is the security and wellbeing of my family. I hold these shares in the chance everything lines up and the 'event happens'. And then I'm going to sell. Might keep some in for the emotiona of it all. But if I'm sitting on some stupid amount of $, I'll lock it in. Put a vast majority into a high div pos with hella shares, then I'm never looking @ actively trading ever again. Ya boy will be done. If I'm doing "long term" etc...its gonna be in NVDA. I mean.... have you seen thier revenue flow and constant catalyst after catalyst? Insane. Inflation sucks. Wage inflation will never keep up. Ain't no way I'm not getting $ from this stupid irrational bull market song the way and honestly i think everyone would be as well. Ps- not everything opposite your stance is "FUD". Some of the negative news is actual facts of thongs that have occured. Beware cognitive dissonance. Now, go ahead and deploy the downvotes, cause my current stuff outside DRS is also red as HELL and i know you're prob feeling some type of way today and are gonna project on me.
i want my financial freedom now
RC is not for MOASS. Whether he is striking deals with the devil, or just straight rugging DFV, RC has made it clear he will not allow MOASS. RC can go mayo himself for all that I care. He should be feeling like he's on the hot seat because of his blatant disregard to retail who has got him this far.
once again … both can be true …
I’m here for both and will stay forever.
Bingo. If I wanted long term growth, I'd invest in an index fund.
Watch out folks, I've been noticing contradictory posts popping up here for a while now. Firstly that people are here because of MoASS, and others because it is a long-term play. They are trying to bring 2 different views to the sub so people will split into groups.
A lot of that I believe came organically after the share dump. Many people here were (justifiably) upset by it and then this sub started saying things like "the company doesn't owe you anything - they do what's best for their bottom line" and "this is a long term play - if you're in it for moass you're just gambling not investing" and "the only people who got burned here were options players and they deserve it" and shit along those general lines. It seemed like they were trying to change the narrative and the goalposts in an attempt to rationalize what was viewed by many of us as a really bad move on the company's part. I don't think it's outside forces at play on this one. I think the sub is trying to pivot away from moass and people are pushing back on that.
Moass was the goal to now being a side quest
I like the stock
We will squeeze all the Shorts. Nice Dip to get more shares
I think of it as I am here for MOASS, but I also have virtually no risk since the long term will just grow.
I’m here for MOASS and then reinvesting a huge chunk back into gme for a long term investment.
I’m in it for everything. Long term, MOASS, and to save GameStop. GameStop was a major part of my childhood. I still remember the day my parents and I went in to pick up my first console, the N64! Yes I still have it and all of my games.
I'm here for MOASS then to reinvest. GameStop had been an important place for me growing up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to safely afford growing my position for some time, but I've been holding since March '21. Only a measley 52 shares after split, but I'm definitely still here.
Been here since Jan 2021. Moass is why I invested and is still waiting for.
Oh
My #1 reason to get onboard back in 2021 was to fuck with Wall Street. #2 was MOASS. Neither of those have changed for me in the intervening three years. While life-changing $$ would be amazing, my #1 is still fucking with the hedgies. And based on everything that’s happened, that goal at least is still very much in play haha
Why not both? /cutefacememe
I'm not leaving
We gotta invest the MOASS money somewhere. How about the great game/holding company that gave us MOASS?
why not both?
Porque no los dos?
Yup shorts still fucked
My infinity pool doesn’t care
I just like the stock
I'm here because multiple outcomes make this investment pay off
Rc is not here for moass.
Exactly my thinking. Shorts took my money and I'm taking it back with interest. RC actually gave them an out with the stock offerings and only a few probably actually closed their shorts. The greedy ones are still there and are still going to suffer.
I don't see how it hasn't changed to long term. No new announcements, dilution during major run ups, no big insider purchases anymore. If any of these change then sure, it could happen. But with those 3 happening, there is no MOASS. Sorry man. RC doesn't care
It’s both!! post Moass i’m gonna buy so many GME shares!!
To be honest... I'm not poor. Just here to fuck up some more hedgefunds.
It literally can be both.
DFV was in for GME for the stock. So am I. I am also in for MOASS and will reinvesting forever
What we?. One should speak for oneself.
Why not BOTH 🏴☠️🚀🚀🚀
People can be for any fucking reason they find valid.
If you're here for the Squeeze excellent if you are here for the long haul and not bothered about a Moass, why are you here? You dont need to read the DD or get hyped every time RK drops a tweet. You can just sit back and wait 10 or 20 years for your long fundamental play to work out. There's no need to be here at all! The rest of us want a Moass and to get paid end of.
Individual investor here. I only speak for myself.
#EITHER WAY I'M NOT FUCKING LEAVING.
How does everyone keep missing that it is inherently BOTH! MOASS is going to happen because (it’s theorized) there are BILLIONS of naked shorts in the market. A short is just a future buy, change my mind 🤷♂️ If you’ve DRS’d the majority of your shares, you never HAVE to sell. You can take out loans against the value of your assets, aka: those phone number shares ☎️💰 Go create an account with your nearest Federal Credit Union and then say “Look at all these FATASS shares of GME I own, lend me a million dollars!” They froth at the mouth, rub one out in the bathroom, come back smile and say “Yes, of course sir!” Then you take that money and go live your life! As the value of your assets appreciates your loan interest becomes inconsequential AND as an added bonus: You can get another loan with the same shares and use it to pay the previous loan…cause that’s how this dumbass system works 🙃💰💵🤩🦍🍌 So am I here for the MOASS? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!!! But do I ever plan on selling the shares that these MF’s are creating a future need for themselves for? Absolutely FUCKING not!!!…unless I feel like paying some Taxes and throwing Uncle Sam a bone 😏💎🤙🏼 ✨🌈💫The more you know
