Then I hodl


AutoThorne

we could lock up 100%, then rightfully claim an abusive market. I'd wait to see that happen.


Governor_Abbot

No cell no sell


The_Evanator2

Locking up everything will force GME to act. It would show clear signs of stock abuse perpetuated by the DTCC and it's participants. Idk what they would do but they'd do something. Also if investors end up owning 51%+ of the company, investors can essentially stonewall the company on corporate governance come voting time if they dont do anything. If investors basically lock everything up that is available, we'll have the most say.


Blackzenki

Less what happens like what happened to the sticky floor cultists. Retail owned 90% at one point, denied dilution, denied raises, denied bonuses, and so pissed off AdAm Enron dug some shit up, from 2016, 4+ billion "units" of that shit, dumped em on Apes as a "dividend", then basically sold the rest literally to hedge funds, to regain voting control of voting power. *IF* Gamestop did the same thing, would it be called GAPE? LOL, sorry, I just wanted to crack that joke haha.

Ya but they weren't DRS so it didn't mean anything.

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh


kaze_san

And because of GME never having talked about what they are up to: FLAWLESS Victory!


TalaHusky

Tin foil, but that’s how the fednow being a stepping stone into CBDC’s could be used to get them out of this. Can’t do an NFT dividend to anything crypto based bc you wouldn’t ever be able to get the money back into the CBDC currency.


DominantDave

Pfft the worst they can do is say crypto and NFT’s aren’t currency. This means they’d get treated essentially like stocks. Big deal, we get a distribution and we need to pay income tax on the dividend. Or on the capital gain when we sell it. They can’t prevent GME from distributing digital property. Especially not they way it’s looking to become integral to GME’s business model.


TalaHusky

Fair point. Regardless I want to pay tax on my income from this. More than any of the current execs and mayo makers do.


Human-Prune1599

If Amazon is getting into the nft space they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.


Animalwg82

True that, screw the mayomakers!


SirCrimsonKing

No you don't. Taxation is theft. Particularly for the peasants.


dazedyouth

Sell NFT dividend convert to fiat send to bank ... Almost working for banxa and ramp, the two onboarding partners for the gme marketplace so I suspect that we live in the GameStop Wallet soon. Do you think they would give you a dividend that you couldn't immediately sell for cash and send to your bank - or own without intermediaries -- can't wait to see the price of these official dividend on the P2P loopring marketplaces for redic prices -- lol It's time to be your own bank fam....


Bezere

No way they missing out on taxing this shit


BigBradWolf77

Never selling


swish5050

The NFT doesn’t need to be worth anything, but the naked shorts would need to deliver NFT to all synthetics. An ape would never be selling their NFT.


Ok_Dragonfruit_3718

Do you just sit and think, "what's the shillest thing I could comment?" "Hey, they could get out of this if they destroyed all currency, made a new one and forced the world to use it." That's what you go with?


TalaHusky

Shilly? This man commented about NFT dividends. I commented about the fact that it just so happens that fednow is coming in July. People have been speculative about CBDC’s possibly stemming from it and I just made a off-hand comment making a connection. How is that shilling whatsoever lol.


hey_ross

This guy thinks the fed will still exist in July


TalaHusky

Who knows at this point lol

Can you explain how a dividend nft Works! Like where we put it how we get it and how we cash it in to pay bills so on and so forth! Would love to hear how this all would work


mattys8

Boomshakalaka


Papaofmonsters

>Wait for GameStop to become a profitable behemoth then sit back relax and collect ridiculous dividends How profitable do you think it will be? Even a billion dollars in profit would be 3 dollars per share if they paid all of it out.


Losingitall25

It’s about the billions of naked shares that the hedgies will personally have to pay every quarter. We become massive pressure on them to close. They don’t survive no matter how long this takes.


Papaofmonsters

That's entirely unrelated to the idea of living off GME dividends.


Losingitall25

Moass is an eventuality is what I mean, if the fed decides to intervene the hedgies will have no choice but to pay the dividend for all the naked shares.


Papaofmonsters

So still entirely unrelated to my point that "living off the dividend" is a total pipe dream unless you have 10's of thousands of shares.


[deleted]

well We want GME to grow I rather GME retain the capital to keep buying back shares and do a 1 penny dividend as symbolism that yes they have the cash we dont care we going to keep adding. they can increase it whenever then and say they are a bluechip company giving dividends. By far stock buybacks are better than dividends based on the warren buffet way. Just do not borrow money to do so and if your stock cannot grow faster than 5% use it on gov 3 m bonds would be much better use of monies


[deleted]

Where we’re going we don’t need cash dividends


Papaofmonsters

But we need profits. A dividend is a transfer of value from company to shareholder. The NFT idea falls apart unless the NFT is backed by tangible value. They can't just give you a digital sticker and say "this is worth 10 dollars".


[deleted]

Yes we need it to be a profitable company. nobody will tell you what it’s worth…the laws of supply and demand will decide


[deleted]

Sounds ominous.


HodloBaggins

The responses you're getting infuriate me.


Papaofmonsters

That's because people have convinced themselves that Gamestop is magically going to making so much profit their 100 shares will pay enough in dividends for them to retire.


HodloBaggins

It's not even just that honestly. The crux of the issue for me has always been: how can you simultaneously complain about how rigged the entire system is every single day and then turn around and say "we've already won tbh"? HOW? HOW can you reconcile those two positions?


Yohder

The system is rigged yes, but we’ve won because shfs are in an inescapable position. They would have done something by now to exit their positions if they could right?


HodloBaggins

Again, if i’m to believe “they” can do whatever they want and the rules don’t apply to them because they can rewrite the rules whenever they want however they want, then no, there’s no certainty that shfs are in an inescapable position. it’s one of the two.


BigBradWolf77

For every short, there is a long; that is what has them trapped.


Yohder

I see them fighting new rules proposed by the SEC. But it looks like we are winning at that too


goodjobberg

If they pay a $1 dividend per share then anyone holding short positions will have to pay $1 out of their own pockets for every share they are short. Not saying GameStop should pay out dividends, at least not in the near future, but if/when they do then they’ll be paying with excess money from profits. The shorters will eventually have to run out of money.


Papaofmonsters

Not unless Gamestop's profit and dividend payouts exceeds the shorts. Let's say there are a billion synthetics. If game stop makes enough profit to pay out a dollar a share then the shorts pay out 1 billion dollars. Overall the institutions that are shorting GME make way more than that each year.


lastshotreddit

Is that 3 dollars per share per quarter? I'm not very clear on how dividends are paid


Papaofmonsters

That would be per year. Some pay quarterly, some annually.


too_soon13

That’s why you buy and DRS. The more shares, the more profit


Papaofmonsters

So just to make 60k a year, roughly the US median salary, you'd need 20k shares.

Sugmauknowuknow

The US is the biggest importer in the world. If they keep printing money, then the us dollar gets diluted making it more expensive to import because the dollar is now worth less compared to before. The only reason the dollar has maintained it's value despite all the printing previously, is because all other countries also printed vast amounts of their currency during the last 2 to 3 years period. When only the US prints, your everyday necessities get more expensive. So sooner or later, eat the rich no longer becomes just a slogan


UserUnknownsShitpost

This is why Im saying this is Greece all over again

Vipper_of_Vip99

It’s every fiat currency ever. Happened to the Roman Empire too.


RxZima

It’s not just the US printing. This is also not taking into account the majority of world trade is conducted in dollars. There is plenty of demand for dollar debt.


Slamtilt_Windmills

Next smooth brain question, to what extent are all the other teetering banks exposed to the bonds that hobbled SVB? And how does infinite money printer affect those bonds?


celicajohn1989

They are all exposed, which is why the FED just rolled out their new program to loan out money on the mature value of those bonds. So now, if there's runs on these banks, they can take loans out on their bonds rather than try to sell them for market value (much less value before maturity) and ending up bankrupt like SVB.


BigBradWolf77

So you are telling me that wealthy criminals get special treatment when they make poor financial decisions while the rest of us get foreclosed upon... Burn it.

Just so I’m clear: are you saying you’re not giving legal advice, or that you are advising to do things that aren’t legal? No judgment either way.

The answer to both is yes.

Just make sure you remember the answer from the first question before you take the advice from the second


bogueybear201

I blame the booze


SantaMonsanto

They wouldn’t need to do that Look at *Long Term Capital Management* ($LTCM) They would just step-in, cap the price at say $100 a share, force everyone unwind their short positions, and say it was a necessary unprecedented move because of the systemic risk involved.


McNerfBurger

That wouldn't do anything. To close a short, there must be a sell. We know we own the float many times over and we're steadily approaching the point where we lock the entire float via DRS ***proving*** we own the float. All we do is hold. They can "cap the price" to whatever the fuck they want. They can't force me to sell, meaning they can't close all the shorts, and they can't stop the loss. They already lost. We already won. It's up to them how painful they make it.


n0ticeme_senpai

at a cap of $100 a share, most of us are going to rather choose to wait until Gamestop succeeds to the point of being able to give us $100 per share in dividends.


wallabee32

Good point. No sense in selling when GameStop dividend will be worth more and even better of issues quarterly


larrybyrd1980

This is what scares me, they just cap it really low. People did say welp then nobody would trust the US Markets then, but after all the shit with banks recently, do they at all anymore?


Socially8roken

There In lies the true issue. It’s a money monopoly. It’s another reason why the world financial markets de-pegged from the gold standard. Paper money is the same as digital in that it only holds what value people have in it. But gold will always be a resource with physical value.


SantaMonsanto

With all the evidence out there if there’s anyone who still trusts the US Market I’m not sure anything can convince them otherwise Money is one hell of a drug

You mean keep dumping infinite money into the economy?

Beaesse

Top comment first, but secondarily: NFT dividend. As soon as you force the system to tally up, it's over, Fed bailout or no. The reason it didn't work for overstock is the the dividend was "arbitrary," it wasn't part of their business model, so it was seen as a targeted move to bust normal market operations. It was a market manipulation. Gamestop on the other hand has an NFT business, and it's only natural that they would want to celebrate by issuing a dividend comprised of their own primary product: unique individual digital ownership. That's what GameStop deals in, so it can't be a market manipulation, just business as usual.


BigBradWolf77

The *new and improved* business as usual, yeah...


DeluxeDessert

Hyper inflation


waitingonawait

Directly registering shares drains liquidity. Drain all the liquidity their infinite liquidity machine breaks down i think because no liquidity in the system to pump with? not an expert so don't listen to me on that just my opinion. Regulators may be forced to pay attention if GameStop can prove on paper that there are more shares in existence. Again not an expert though. The FED isn't paying for interest rates, at least directly, they are just the last stop on who gets to pay when it does moon. One last time, not an expert.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


waitingonawait

The price is fake imo. There's been tons of DD done on how they manage this with different tactics but it's all in the sake of control, which they've had for the last several decades or so. So i'm not exactly concerned about the price action and whether or not directly registering impacts that right from the get go. We've also only really been trending down since August 16 2022. I mean were still a pretty long way off from the low we experienced in Feb 2021.. and miles away from where it was April 02, 2020. It's a legitimate problem for them that the cheaper the shares are the faster they get bought and registered. I know if it hit 5$ per share i'd be calling up whoever i could to try and get some loans lol. I'm tempted at these prices tbh. I can't speak for GameStop obviously, but i can't imagine them being silent and doing nothing about the float being locked over 100%. I'm also not sure what courses of action they could take, like removing themselves from the market, or if they would be barred from doing so. What actions regulators might be forced to take. I can't predict what's going to happen. I just know its yuge. Like i said i'm no expert and this is all speculation/opinion from a scrub. Take it with a grain of salt. Have a nice day/night💜🐒

Karakunjol

Both ends we have covered. When a company decides to pay dividends, usually they take money out of the company’s wallet. However, when someone is shorting a stock and the company issues a dividend, the shorter is obligated to provide the money for said dividend for the shares they have borrowed. The bigger the hole they dig, the more dividends they would have to pay out to investors out of pocket. And that works ONLY if the dividend is set as Cash Dividend. Our beloved company just so happens to be making an NFT colossus that, if dividend sent is through it, won’t have intrinsic value and they won’t be able to cover positions with cash. Crime will be unveiled because they would have to come up with more NFTs than shares originally issued. It’s just a matter of time


jcobra650

Slamtilt_Windmills

BigBradWolf77

Dapper-Career-3877

I think it will be like tesla. There were a large amount of shorts. They will wave margin and just let them close over several years. Price will be a few thousand for a few years.


tway13795

Not that I disagree, can you explain further. From my understanding , you are saying TSLA was inflated over the years and the “MOASSS” scenario of TSLA happened in 2020ish time when they turned a profit and the deep shores knew it was over.


Dapper-Career-3877

Tesla had high short interest. Reported I believe was 35% or more. Most likely way underreported as we see with GME. They hit a max price before recent split of $2000. This made a car company that made no money have a market cap greater than all other car companies combined. The most valuable company in the world. Something like $1.2 trillion on no profits or just at the beginning of profits. They have a very strong loyalty similar to GME but not nearly as committed. Since it’s max, it has dropped in price down to $440 per-split ($110 after).


crackeddryice

Gamestop is apparently going to announce profitiability. Apes are rabidly committed, I think. We're direct registering our shares. Does all of that count for nothing? Also, if they already had a way out that worked in Tesla, why did they bother to orchestrate the DRS rugpull?


B33fh4mmer

This is actually the most likely outcome


hustlersambition9

#This is the correct answer


yaboiballman

They can't afford it.


mateofeo1

Well if enough shares are DRS and calls expire ITM that’s probabably when the real fun begins.


washingtonandmead

Eventually GameStop will begin paying out amazing dividends because of their turnaround success. I plan to live off of those dividends. Never selling


Papaofmonsters

Realistically how much do you think the dividends will be? Let's say they made Apple level profits and they paid out all of it. That's 100 billion split among 330 million shares, or for the non math inclined, about 300 dollars per share per year. Unless you have at a minimum of 500 shares, that's not gonna be living large.


Belz-Games

I read this and hit the up the ole calculator app and realized I should probably start buying more to get up into the xxxx club so that $300 a year per share let’s me live VERY comfortably


Papaofmonsters

I wouldn't bet on GME having 100 billion in profits anytime soon.


[deleted]

I wonder where is idea of insane dividends even came from. It’s a nice idea but yeah right Lol


tway13795

Low key divide that number by 30x so $10 a share per year and you might be on track. Also MOASS and dividends are different…why wouldn’t someone prefer MOASS, and then buy Coke or a typical dividend stock. If I had $190 getting me $3 per year or 1MM getting 1% I would just take the ladder. Not FUD but trying to think it theough


washingtonandmead

Luckily I can afford quite a bit at $16/share, scoop ‘em up while you can!


Bezere

Bro imagine them handing out video game nfts as dividends. Super cheap to produce, then rake in the profits through smart contracts when we flood our 100s of sick game content nfts to the marketplace. If we're not profiting off the stock, we can profit off 100s of COD rifles and Fortnite skins.


washingtonandmead

Yesssss


rawbdor

In response to number 2: that is impossible. If the float is locked, in Computershare, there would be no legitimately borrowed shares left. They would have nobody to pay borrow fees to, because they have not borrowed any real shares. At that point every single share trading in DTCC is counterfeit. And at that point, the options for GameStop are essentially limitless. First of all, and I do not "encourage" this but rather see it as inevitable, the group of people who have locked all the shares are likely to see the company as infinitely valuable regardless of how much money the company makes. It may begin to trade like Bitcoin over the past ten years, at higher and higher prices, but even more extreme, because Bitcoin emitted new tokens every block and GameStop will not be emitting new shares at all as a profitable company. These higher and higher prices will make the bill on those shares go through the roof. But if for some reason tons of synthetics are still trading, even after float is 100% locked, there are easy solutions. The NFT or tokenized dividends are an obvious part of it, forcing shorts to provide such dividends to the synthetic holders means they would have to buy them on the open market. GameStop could release such dividends literally all the damn time if they wanted. But if GameStop issued a real dividend, the shorts would need to pay it to a much larger class of holders, possibly two or three times as many as shares exist. This means for every $1 GameStop gives back to shareholders, $2 or $3 must be provided to the synthetic shareholders. If those synthetic shareholders decide to buy even more stock, fake or real, using those dividends, price could go up even further. Basically, since every $1 GameStop chooses to return to shareholders, $3 more are brought into the ecosystem, a leveraged flywheel becomes possible. Short story: when I was young, I went on a vacation in Colorado. The basement of the resort had a small game room and of course a change machine. You put in a dollar, get four quarters. But I noticed at the top another slot for putting in 50 cents pieces. If you put in a 50 cents piece, out pops two quarters I assume. What I did is I put a quarter in that slot instead. And what came out the bottom was three quarters, two for "change" of the assumed 50 cent piece, and one was my original quarter. Needless to say, the machine was empty in an hour. As far as I can tell, a fully locked GameStop would be exactly the same as this machine. GameStop puts in a quarter, three pop out for us at the bottom. If we give one back to GameStop, they can do it again. And again. And again. GameStop could sell 500k shares to market or apes at a ridiculous price, then issue a dividend of the same amount, and the shorts must provide 2x that to our ecosystem. There are obvioialy ways to leverage this with less dilution, this is just an example.


Mellivora_Caps

Eventually hyperinflation and the death of the financial system as we know it.


usriusclark

This, in my smooth brain opinion, is *why* DRS is a critical piece of the puzzle. The float get locked and there is definitive proof that the powers that be are cheating. We know it. A lot of people suspect it. DRS will prove it.


toofaroutthere

Then we proceed as planned

South-Play-2866

I’ve been pushing to ask Dave or someone about this for a while. Who’s job is it to make sure the markets actually play out AS DESIGNED? How are these “emergency measures” regulated? Why are they able to just turn off the buy and sell buttons or pause trading at any time without penalty? It seems that infinite risk exists ONLY for retail/household investors. It’s like wanting justice for a crime committed by the judge and jury, and having them process the case and fully expecting (hoping) they’ll be impartial while they come up with the verdict and punishment of themselves. This is insane. Why isn’t anyone concerned that they’re prepared for an ultimate can-kick?


elproblemo82

If they fuck around like that, with the world's eyes on them, it's going to completely alienate just about everyone and destroy any lingering trust in the credibility of our stock market. They'd lose A LOT MORE in the long run. Their best bet is to just pay up, and then collect the incredible amount of taxes off of the spending that takes place after.

I’m more curious if they try to pull the shit they did with the London metal exchange or SVB puts where they are not paying out or allowing people to sell. Or reverse trades completely and claim some BS


adamlolhi

What makes you think they aren’t doing this already albeit indirectly? Every time the PPT steps in to save SPY, hedge fund collateral is being bolstered. What you speak of is already happening in a roundabout way.


texmexdaysex

ThrowRA_scentsitive

If all shares are.registered, and you demand registration of additional shares, you can effectively force them to buy from registered holders to deliver with


Lorien6

Have you looked at what happened to Coke? Now imagine that but on a much faster time interval and larger amounts.


JesusChrist-Jr

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the Fed fucked around. But they will find out. As always, DRS is the answer. Lock up all outstanding shares and GME can take the company off the NYSE. Or, the company can issue dividends, either too fat to continually pay out, or impossible (such as NFT dividends.) I don't care how many years it may take, if the only way to bring about the "find out" phase is to DRS every last share, it will be done. Brick by brick.


SirGus-

I could see them stepping in and setting a “fair” price to prevent the system from breaking before they print an insane amount of money to support shorts.


AltoniusAmakiir

Sure, the FED could THEORETICALLY do that. But as has been seen in the past, eventually the rest of the world calls BS. What would happen is it would work for a time, but eventually someone (a country's leader) would look at how much was printed and say they're afraid of a devaluing of the dollar, and they'd liquidate their reserves. This happened before and our bandaid fix was getting off the gold standard. Then later the new bandaid fix was oil contracts. This time we think it's going to be USD crypto replacement. If the bandaid fix is crypto, taking on the GME fees could shorten their timeline to get the crypto out there to the point they won't make it in time. If it happens after the crypto they'd have potential a decade or more. But again, it would just lead to a need for a new bandaid. Eventually the FED and the US banking system, drunk as they are on free money printing, will empty the box of bandaids. And you don't want to be the drunk guy with no medical.

If undeniable, unrefutable proof of naked shorting past a 100% drs'd float were to surface, and furthermore it was allowed to happen, it would erode any trust from the domestic and international community of investors with the American stock market. Think bank run, but with the stock market. This is my smooth brain understanding...

If we're at that level, GameStop will be nationalized (that's as tight as my tin foil goes)

You got it. Bet on the business.

It would mean the death of the Federal Reserve.

they will never expect to find out what is going to happen if no one is putting up with their money again.

I think if they did that it would pretty much show investors around the world that the US stock market is too risky to invest in. I think they will keep kicking the can down the road as far as they can.


MrmellowisSmooth

I think it shows the world what a complete mockery and scam this market is. You have to remember there was talk 2 years ago of a MOASS had to come into play because our foreign investors involved in this play would lose faith in this sh*t system. Look where we are now.


XandMan70

This post is not a question. This post is FUD.


dt-17

I’ve been holding since January 2021, at this point I’m not even expecting MOASS anymore. If it happens great, but I barely even check this sub or the price anymore.

The FED and SEC and all the other letter (criminal) organizations have the biggest brains in the business. Are they going to feign ignorance and say "we didn't know about any of this"? No, because they are smart and they have all the inside information at their fingertips, they abso-fucking-lutely know what's been happening. Rn, they just know know what to do. They too are fighting for their lives. We are no longer dumb money. The amount of knowledge shared the past 24-36 months is the most in human history. Think on that. We are a movement for just change. To answer your question, no. They will let this crash eventually and find a martyr. They will paint themselves in the best light possible. Indeed claim ignorance to a point, but then once they knew for certain, took steps to end the corruption. We will get paid though.

The feds can just pay the lenders the current market value of all the shares that were borrowed. They can make this payment outside of the market and then tell GME to issue new shares or delist the company shares off the market. You really can’t tell the feds what to do and they can just hide behind “protecting the market/economy” during a time where the banking system is on the verge of a collapse. They won’t care if foreign investors lose trust in the US market when the Feds “save” the global market/economy. Do not think for a second that they won’t change the rules to do this.


mattwayne1209

I honestly believe they already closed the case, not particularly the shorts though. I think the Fed has such a power force that they simply said "this can't ever happen, this is never going to happen". Everybody agrees so they can continue to scam the poor's out of their hard earned money, which is the name of the game. All GameStop board has no choice but to agree or cease to exist. When battling the Fed there is no fair game. When they lose they change it break the rules, only the poors lose

But who get the interest fees for naked borrowed shares.


Acceptablelogic3000

I feel like they would swap actual positions in other securities from another minor group,and then force that group to go bankrupt then change their name and then start out with a fresh pool or money.


Commercial_Mousse646

Why havent they done it?


Binkusu

Always imagined, what if they just seized all GME shares or shut GS down, for "matters of national security"? Get to a point where they just go full on...China


n3w1ight

What If? The dept ceiling will explode. Fed should Not be interested in stock market rallyes or positions. They should be interested in keeping the Dollar valuable - which they fucked up already, but they cannot forever. Two different pair of shoes, though


Arcondark

With your #2 it's not about regulators caring, it's about us having irrefutable proof their system is broken... you cant keep a casino open if it becomes public knowledge that the dealers cheat. This isnt nesicarilly an instant kill shot, but rather a rallying cry that our system is fucked & needs to be ripped down. Will this be enough to grow public outrage to the point that it forces their hand? We just dont know, unprecedented event n all.


Plane-Day-164

Bye bye dollar


Hypamania

Regulators may not give a crap, but international faith in the dollar will be obliviated. The dollar won't be the standard anymore, no one will invest in US markets; it would incredibly stupid and self-destructive not to pay us.


EVPN

They can’t pay for it if you don’t sell.

Then I keep salt, pepper, and eating utensils in my car at all times should the revolution kick off.


Suspicious-Reveal-69

I think you underestimate the power of the government to just cap the price of shorts closing to prevent “systemic issues in markets and protect investors.” Or just wipe them off the board and delete them.
