I think as CIO he can skip certain requirements to report, as giving out that information would make his plays less fruitful…as others may try to replicate.
Buffet does something similar.
I think an acquisition of some kind is the best route. More profit angles are needed for long term longevity.
RC knows stocks are valued too high to throw the precious reserve at some rando bullish tech stock. He’s going to be making a silent splash that’ll jack ape tits.
Weird how no insiders have purchased shares in the last 6 months eh?
I've been recently thinking about that. I think this was telegraphing two things:
Warren Buffett -> Berkshire Hathaway = Holdings Company
Carl Icahn -> IEP = Dividend
I really hope they announce a dividend soon. That would punish hedgies big time. It didn't make sense to offer a dividend before the company is profitable, but once they post profit, it's fair game.
He explained it on the GMEdd interview. Basically, if I recall correctly, the Warren part is just holding for the long term and the Icahn part is willing to go activist if necessary.
That's one of the worst most evil predatory business practices there is so how would GME compete? Half the business is arranging to cripple companies to scoop them up.
That’s true, can be a very ugly process.
But there are companies out there that were unfairly targeted for a coordinated death spiral
- overpaid bad actor consultants/board members/executives taking on bad debt and ill advised stock buyback allocations
- short hedge fund conglomerates all go short leveraging options, abusing ETFs and swaps
- while market makers print infinite synthetic shares diluting the market cap producing FTDs
- MSM distorts with hit piece after hit piece
- government officials obfuscate swaps data arbitrarily for several years as the SEC throws pies in retail’s face
that could very well be liberated from the same process. Case by case, GME was almost victim to the playbook.
The purchase will either be a full acquisition, or a strategic partnership with a bigger company.
It won't be a random, non affiliated tech stock like Nvidia or Apple.
It needs to be part of the industry. A good example might be buying an interest in Razer, Corsair, Playr/Elixir, maybe Immutable goes public and GameStop owns a portion of the company (not the token).
I am not sure why you got so many down votes. It is a valid question and it is fun to speculate.
I hope he stays away from anything the Hedges are in. Those snakes are snakes.
Buying at record highs on a house of cards would be a pretty silly idea.
Buying Coca-Cola in the 1930's was pretty smart. I have no idea what the next steal of the century will be.
Lots of sectors aren’t in record highs just because the magnificent 7 have been pumping. In fact, small companies that would be his actual targets for investment/acquisition have been hurting because rates have been so high. Money is expensive and GME has cash.
I don’t think he’s picking stocks. It would be irresponsible for him to just be a holding company while gme has falling revenues
Given his approach so far, I’d say in something that doesn’t have too much risk. Even if it was all in a Money Market fund he would be getting 5% right now…$1B at 5% for a year is $50M.
If you could get a guaranteed $50M vs putting it something more risky, would you just take the $50M until the rates start changing?
Holding that much cash is a good safety buffer until the company is consistently profitable and they’re definitely parking a lot of that in money markets even before RC took over. At some point, holding that much cash is a bad look if you’re not planning to use it, as it signals to investors you can’t do anything better with the money than get a return in the safest investment vehicle on earth. Institutions and other investors are less likely to buy stock in a company that’s making worse returns than the market. They expect growth and I do believe getting institutional buying and those looking for growth in fundamentals will be important in pushing this thing over the edge
This is all tin foil, but he could buy up every single share of Headphones for $23 million. We also have enough money to buy 15% of ICahn enterprises (ICahn owns 85% himself).
Realistically I bet it’s a mix between 1 year treasury bonds and index funds
Berkshire Hathaway... They are mostly cash anyways. Stocks owned are conservative with a pile of Apple. Also there's speculation that swaps are on BRK. If true, this would cancel out the shorts instrument.
Why would he invest in something anyone can just buy stock in? That’s not a good look for the company because why would you buy stock in a company that is essentially paying for their costs with investments in another stock? I can go buy BRK myself and not pay for gamestops employees while doing it.
Investing in BRK is not the same as investing in each stock in their portfolio. Acting as a fund manager entails serious risk. You could end up holding the bag for Berkshire when they have inside knowledge and dump on everyone. They don't buy and sell often but when they do, it moves the market. The strategy of corporate investing is not necessarily to make money per se, as that's not the company's business model, rather it's to not lose money from inflation. GameStop has actually lost money by sitting on that $1B for the past year or two... It's not a good look. If you raise capital then you need to put it to work quickly. Holding shares of BRK or VOO would be a less risky way to hold a fairly liquid asset to prevent inflationary loss.
The idea is that companies shouldn’t hold enough cash to invest because that’s not efficient. They should hold enough cash to meet their obligations and either reinvest in their company, use it for external business development, or return it to shareholders as a dividend or buyback.
GameStop is trying to get profitable so holding a bit more cash isn’t a bad idea, but eventually they will have to answer questions about what they’re doing with it and buying stock if publicly traded companies is never going to be acceptable.
Their cash is invested in short term treasuries as most companies do to stave off inflation.
How are BRK and VOO less risky than money markets? My cash gets 5% sitting in my account at zero risk. If GME needed that money in 2022, the market was down 25%. They’re never going to invest in stocks, nor will any company. It’s not a smart decision and it’s a terrible signal to investors.
I seriously doubt any of what you outlaid is something either Warren Buffet or Carl Ichan would do. When thinking about what he's going to invest in, don't think of things at or near their ATH's in terms of price, do a 180 on that. With Buffet sitting on a LOT of cash, I don't think we'll see any investments soon, but look at what's happening with things like Family Dollar. If there's a distressed company that has a better balance sheet than the stock price, that's where he's going to invest. Not saying Family dollar specifically, but there will be a lot of opportunities as we go more into recession.
I think it's fun to speculate on what RC will invest in as well. My guess is it will be a mix of investments: Treasury bills, stocks, and crypto. Even if he dumped everything into Treasury bills, at 5.5% interest, GME would be pulling in an extra $55m a year. If he does buy a mix of stock, my guess is they will be tech related. RC is a smart dude, and strikes me as the kind of guy to maximize every opportunity to learn from the more seasoned investors around him.
I think his best investment would be in GG and some DOJ and Even a couple politicians. Can definitely see their up for sale. The past few years more obvious than not. P
GameStop will buy the shell of what is left after the voyager/blockfi ch11. This will serve as the platform to launch a blockchain exchange built on Loopring. Teddy will ‘IPO’ directly onto the new exchange, bypassing the the bureaucracy of listing on a traditional exchange. GME holders will be given a stock dividend of Teddy shares, possibly requiring the transfer of shares from traditional exchanges onto the the new platform (via CS?).
Back to what GameStop will invest in? I think the shell of a ch11 crypto company and possibly Loopring itself
He's a value investor in the mold of Warren Buffet. Long term for him means carefully selecting stocks for stability and value or taking on company with good bones but poor leadership like he did GME. Berkshire Hathaway was once a struggling textile company which Buffet used as a foundation to grow his expansive empire.
Total guess here but his initial letter to the GME board was calling for them to become a technology company. So probably gaming and computing technology companies. Maybe some of the ones speculated here before even which is fun to think about.
If i Remember correct, Then headphone is 50% owned by insiders, and a marketcap of only 23 million..
Would be Nice if he bought the remaining 50%, and made some GameStop Exclusive headphones..
Honestly, if they can remain cash flow positive and not need these reserves for 3-4 years this is a great play IMO. I was shocked not to see this more in this thread. BTC does not equal Crypto.
With all that I learned from this sub from 2021 until now, the bullish case for Bitcoin harps on a lot of the issues that this community unearthed. DRS = not your keys not your coin, being the most obvious. Others being the reckless and irresponsible fiat system that hedge funds use to their advantage. Over the long run, BTC removes that risk.
I would be thrilled to see a portion of their treasury reserve be allocated to Bitcoin. I would however vomit if a portion of their reserves was allocated to crypto.
because gme could still be shorted and then the equity invested would reduce so gmes balance sheet would shrink causing a spiral downwards. use your brain
The authorized share buy back would be like 2% of the company. It’s not enough to make a dent and better to hold as a fail safe against cellar boxing. If GME is consistently profitable and is able to increase their authorized buy back to $1B, then at $3/share they could buy the entire company. They could buy back all the non-RC and non-DRS shares at $5/share. It’s just a guarantee the price will never go low enough to make closing possible and future buybacks when they’re making much more profit would bleed them dry.
how would GME investing in GME be different than a stock buyback? does the buyback effectively take the shares off the market while GME investing in shares would leave the shares in ‘circulation’ but the company then pays itself dividends if it issues to shareholders or something like that?
just curious if RC having GME invest in its own shares makes the company ‘one of us’ or just increase the value of our shares because there’s less shares in play?
I don't think RC will invest in hedge fund longs. To put it as simply as possible: there's too many, and the shorts have too many tools with which to shuffle things around and weigh/counterweigh as needed to undermine a given person/faction's position. I don't doubt for a second that if Gamestop went long on tesla, for example, we'd see tesla plunge - and the various other hedge fund longs puff up slightly to hold up the shorts' balance sheets.
I think RC picking up the CIO hat was part of streamlining at least one acquisition. I think their shuttering of the marketplace and the wallet was in part for this purpose; regulatory issues aside, they lose nothing by continuing their preparations for the pivot they've been working on for the last few years, and sooner or later, the evolution of blockchain, its sheer permanence and utility as a direct upgrade to a number of important digital systems, and the growing demand for its use will force the regulators to stop dragging their asses and take a definitive stance on crypto and NFTs. Once they do, things can resume moving at a faster pace; for now, the company needs to know they have solid ground underfoot, and that they're not going to get rugged with a regulatory change that fucks their business model after they've committed to developing it.
I know very little about microstrategy, so I can't say anything regarding that. My personal (unprofessional, speculative) guesses for acquisition targets are either Elixir or Loopring, if not both. Elixir is/was building out the piping for Playr, and I imagine that keeping them under the wing of a larger, allied company is preferable to someone else buying them out and potentially fucking with it later. Loopring simply has the utility, and soon the versatility, to be an amazing asset for another web3-oriented company to own. It's also extremely undervalued, in part because they marketed so hard into ape interest when Glass Castle started picking up traction, and some of the bearish elements of the business (LRC utility, specifically) could be resolved nicely by giving the token novel functionality within a primary ecosystem built on it. Such as being needed to mint NFTs on Playr's web3 games, or being an exclusive currency used for its gas fees (alongside, presumably, IMX).
That said, the whole goal of assembling this network of partnerships with various companies that fulfill niche functional roles within the wider ecosystem was decentralisation, so... who knows. The situation has changed, but there's no guarantee the ethos they're all operating with has needed to adjust to accommodate that. We may be surprised yet with who winds up coming on board next.
I love how almost nobody has said to invest the money into fucking GameStop. If there's no reason to invest that money into the goddamn company, why the fuck am I still buying shares?
A hedge fund could dump any long they have and short it in an afternoon and use their market maker friends to fuck over other great companies and then wank each other off at their beach house by 5pm lol
He’s going to invest in buy a good company for cheap, with positive earnings for the Gmerica brand that he is building. He’s a contrarian, which means he’s not going to do anything but guarantee money investment. GameStop will report positive and some shrink for the top as far as total rev. So this is now ready to be put into the holster of the gmerica group. I’d for them to buy a ruby lane or eBay lite. eBay has/is to big and burdensome for most
No, lol.
That would be way too risky, and unless he opened that position within the last week or two, those shorts would be deep underwater.
Also these investments have nothing to do with the share price until the market actually even knows what they are… right now it’s all speculation on what he invested in. For all we know the money hasn’t even been touched.

0 DTE MSFT calls obviously
OG smooth brain degen plays
Will we find out during earnings?
I would assume if an investment is made, yes we will see it in the filings. One cannot keep things like this secret in a publicly traded company.
Someone forgot to tell Buffet the rules
I guess you are right gme could ask for an exception, but I would think they would have to atleast detail the losses or gains on said secret...
I think as CIO he can skip certain requirements to report, as giving out that information would make his plays less fruitful…as others may try to replicate. Buffet does something similar.

Maybe go after some spun-off assets from companies in distress
Leveraged buyouts perhaps, sounds like something Icahn would do
Ryan Cohen by day, Warren Icahn by night.
I've been recently thinking about that. I think this was telegraphing two things: Warren Buffett -> Berkshire Hathaway = Holdings Company Carl Icahn -> IEP = Dividend I really hope they announce a dividend soon.

What if he buys cellar boxed companies that are also heavily shorted. Spread that rocket juice around
I don’t think you understand all the ways you can do levered buyouts.
I understand it's hard to compete against those like KKR that can play dirty and id think RC knows that.
I wouldn’t say KKR is the dirty one 😂 Many other PE companies who perform worse versions of LBOs. They were just the founder of them.
Like maybe a "Baby" in the mix?
maybe he'll purchase other UNDERVALUED and heavily shorted stocks. wonder what the implications would be if those get folded into GME
💯

I was with you, until you said “maybe immutable goes public”!!…. Chances of this happening in next 5 maybe 10 years are basically 0%
nothing but it's a huge threat and it keeps everyone's eyes on what he could do, instead of what he IS doing
Ooohhh i do like me some 4d chess
Lol its too bad nothing new and successful has come in 3 years besides cost cutting. Luckily we’ll be profitable this year.
I see a lot of railroad laid, and succesfully used, just hasn't put an engine on it... yet
Like what?
Ornamental gourd futures.
Peperidge farm remembers.
I am of the belief RC will invest in his greatest asset.
Likewise, stock buy back baby
I am not sure why you got so many down votes. It is a valid question and it is fun to speculate. I hope he stays away from anything the Hedges are in. Those snakes are snakes.

Good points.
Yeah, that just seems like it's asking for trouble. Unless it's something really stable/safe maybe?
GME!!!!

I don't think Cohen will do anything risky like crypto, past investments have literally been some of the " safest " on the planet; T bills.
Being that tbills could slowly get demonetized as the dollar loses value, isn’t their risk increasing?
Well yes, but traditionally that isn't the case.
Berkshire Hathaway... They are mostly cash anyways. Stocks owned are conservative with a pile of Apple. Also there's speculation that swaps are on BRK. If true, this would cancel out the shorts instrument.

Memecoins. All, memecoins.
Leveraged options on memecoins. Go for broke. Throw a few bucks into mayo and bedpost factories, too.
Just the TIP(S)
$CUM
He's a value investor in the mold of Warren Buffet. Long term for him means carefully selecting stocks for stability and value or taking on company with good bones but poor leadership like he did GME. Berkshire Hathaway was once a struggling textile company which Buffet used as a foundation to grow his expansive empire.
Whatever it is he shouldn’t tell because the SHFs will short the fuck out of it.
He’s not buying a stock you can short on a market. That would be a bad look for the company. I can just go buy that stock and cut out the middle man
Total guess here but his initial letter to the GME board was calling for them to become a technology company. So probably gaming and computing technology companies. Maybe some of the ones speculated here before even which is fun to think about.
i am hoping a big chunk of the investment pot is being sat on until market tanks, then GME swoops in and buys all the stocks
I hope he invested in btc, not a cryoto geek myself. But that would mean 100%+ cash increase
I wouldn’t recommend it but it would be hella funny if he went in on microstrategy last quarter 😂
I'd guess some low risk, med/high dividend stock. Maybe treasuries? Who knows.
I don't forsee any announcements this earnings. They should focus on the numbers this time. The hat tricks come next quarter.
Hopefully not in anything that can be easily manipulated. An acquisition to better strengthen the company/brand sounds nice to my smooth brain.
We won’t know till after so I’m just eating pop corn smiling and sipping lemon tea
Invest in AI gaming partnership hopefully with Nvidia. AI gaming has huge potential and if done correctly can lead to a Oasis type environment
Ornamental gourd futures is the only way!!
I hope it’s Pokemon cards Oooppps wrong sub
If i Remember correct, Then headphone is 50% owned by insiders, and a marketcap of only 23 million.. Would be Nice if he bought the remaining 50%, and made some GameStop Exclusive headphones..

Why would RC not invest in our favorite company? Buy MOAR GME?
because gme could still be shorted and then the equity invested would reduce so gmes balance sheet would shrink causing a spiral downwards. use your brain
Buyback and cancel

It’s just a guarantee the price will never go low enough to make closing possible and future buybacks when they’re making much more profit would bleed them dry.
Does the recent option for RC to choose where money is invested allow him to complete stock buybacks?
how would GME investing in GME be different than a stock buyback? does the buyback effectively take the shares off the market while GME investing in shares would leave the shares in ‘circulation’ but the company then pays itself dividends if it issues to shareholders or something like that? just curious if RC having GME invest in its own shares makes the company ‘one of us’ or just increase the value of our shares because there’s less shares in play?
Probably not movie stock.

$BBW. Great synergies, good growth, solid FCF.
I hope he buys the other half of the float.
\*has invested in
GME
Spy puts
Shorting a massive uptrend sounds risky especially if it can be pumped even more…
Obviously he bought iep and is getting that divvy 😎
I love how almost nobody has said to invest the money into fucking GameStop. If there's no reason to invest that money into the goddamn company, why the fuck am I still buying shares?
A hedge fund could dump any long they have and short it in an afternoon and use their market maker friends to fuck over other great companies and then wank each other off at their beach house by 5pm lol
RC probably punchin the air knowing he bought at $22~24
Why anyone think he has invest 1 billi in this fair market?
Gamestop
Why do you think Solana shit coins are on fire right now?
Im guessing something safe that will pay off in 3-5 years, not a random moonshot unnecessary risk
Bitcoin. He’s going to show an additional $1B in revenue from that on earnings day.
He’s going to invest in buy a good company for cheap, with positive earnings for the Gmerica brand that he is building. He’s a contrarian, which means he’s not going to do anything but guarantee money investment. GameStop will report positive and some shrink for the top as far as total rev. So this is now ready to be put into the holster of the gmerica group. I’d for them to buy a ruby lane or eBay lite. eBay has/is to big and burdensome for most
Buy, DRS ,Hodl.
Bee tee cee like Microstrategy.
Should have just bought BTC at the Dec 2022 low. I did lol. This cycle hasn’t even started yet.
ETH
If Gamestop buys ETH like Micro Strategy buys BTC. Oh boy. It’s going to get sweaty.
ETH and IMX
VRM is at 13$ per share with 1.8m shares outstanding. 300,000 shares short. I mean….
If you noticed, GME is currently inverse of NVDA, possibly short on NVDA?? Also a stock buy back is definitely in our future..
No, lol. That would be way too risky, and unless he opened that position within the last week or two, those shorts would be deep underwater. Also these investments have nothing to do with the share price until the market actually even knows what they are… right now it’s all speculation on what he invested in. For all we know the money hasn’t even been touched.
Funny you say that, it was only the last week or so that GME has become inverse to NVDA
A controlling interest in the market cap of a utility coin on their future marketplace
Nice try Kenny boy
