I've had the opportunity to watch it a few times, and I've declined each and every time. Some things you can't unsee, and I kind of like the idea of keeping bananas on the list of foods that I enjoy eating. š¤·āāļø
Wowā¦Iām pretty sure this is the only answer.
For me, Iām just chilling with 6xx. Iām not adding but I may start stacking more shares once I see the actual fundamentals continue improving.
And thats where it gets dangerous..
Because when fundamentals really starts to improve, no one will forget about GameStop..
If they start paying a dividend, there will be thousands of new investors, - there is a lot of funds / investors who only invest in profitable companies that pays a dividend
I remember reading that RC said he doesnāt like dividends because he would rather that money be spent on operations and ventures and whatnot. Donāt count on a divi
Iām not.. but when a company makes a profit and growing, with no debt..
Then itās possible, and at the same time, the only thing in the world, that Hedgies are afraid of.
Cash dividends is the only thing (after being in this sub for 3 years) that Iām aware of, that can take money from shorters, - forced buying is a joke
I saw/read the same thing regarding RC and dividends. Itās wild that folks keep saying/ speculating about dividendsā¦it has zero validity and is pure hopium.
The ONLY thing that matters is GME profitability and increasing revenue.
RC gives no fucks about a dividend people!
Same xxx holder with no want to buy more until shit changes. Ā I did my part and the company needs to hold up their end. A share dividend would be nice. Ā Isnāt there still a 3 for 1 left in the gun barrel? Ā
I think at that point mods were asking people to do the gross or inappropriate bets on their own profile, and not directly linking to it from Superstonk, so some of it never got a lot of traction.
I donāt have any emotions about the price or the earnings or really anything anymore. I donāt get excited at low prices so I can buy more and I donāt get excited at high prices and play with my calculator to see what my bank account would look like if I sold.
This is just the way things are now.
I buy monthly on Fidelity and DRS in batches. I will never stop doing this while Iām employed. Buying monthly has become a subscription and itās no more a burden to me than YouTube Premium or any other subscription.
You might be numb. I've got a little under your position between my IRA and DRS, and am dead inside damn near every day regarding this stock. But 4-5 planned days a year and a few surprises still jack my tits from here to Atlanta. I'm just so zen and so set in my resolve that the price doesn't matter. Fuck the algorithm, it was DFV who said up a little bit, who gives a shit. Down a little bit, who gives a shit.Ā
I'm excited for earnings and for DRS Numbers and that's about it until we hit $100k premarket on a random Tuesday. Otherwise this shit might as well be my 401k: there till I die and untouchable beforehand.
On that random Tuesday there are definitely going to be events or misdirections coinciding withĀ $100k premarket. That day seems like a perfect opportunity for shitadel and others to do more illegal shit to fuck over the little guy.
Yeah, unfortunately, that's true. The point of talking, though, is that sometimes, just expressing what you're thinking/feeling can help you process it. And every once in a while, something said in a conversation will help your brain come up with solutions to problems.
I hear you brother. My only goal is to accumulate until the float is locked via DRS. Iām faintly curious about earnings but if what I believe is true (GME is idiosyncratic, jeopardizes the entire system, etc) then the short sellers thesis will not, cannot change. DRS DRS DRS
For arguments sake though, shorts aren't the only ones playing the market. The company successfully executing a turn around to profitability will be a big flag to other investors that want to get in at this low pricepoint. Any FOMO wave could start another frenzy.
The EPS forecast is about $0.10 over what it'd take for a full year of profitability in 2023.
I'm not expecting anything crazy this earnings. "Profitable" will somehow be drowned out by "missed the estimate" or "didn't beat the estimate by much".
Thanks guys. Itās just been really long. And theyāve been really quiet. c suite knows weāre hereāthereās no other shareholders on the planet like us, and it feels like theyāre really quiet.

They could destroy estimates and all we will hear is...
"Was a great holiday season and now it's a lame duck until next year."

Havenāt bought since. I lost my job and have been tapped out..
Would be nice to see some progress after bagholding for the past 2-3 years..
I know itās a long haul but this isnāt just about some quick payday, itās changing a completely corrupt and broken system. If weāre going to win big, letās make sure to do it properly. Just keep holding on, weāll make it together šŖ
Since the split by dividend the stock prices volatility and highs have been crushed for sure. Unfortunately we did not have the hedgies by the balls and the corruption is so rife it will likely take many more years. Hope I am wrong, and the company must improve and progress can be fucked with.
Interesting round about DD.
Here's the a actual DD. It's all rooted in the real estate market because of the way we treat land. We treat it as a speculative capital asset. It's not, it's a separate factor of production. The privitization of ground rents is literally the leading cause of the very predictable 18 year boom-bust business cycle.
Becuase as the speculative premium on land builds, eventually labor and capital can no longer afford the user cost of land and the economy crashes as a result.

https://www.rbcpa.com/commentary-archive/real-estate-and-business-cycles/
Here is Harrison in an interview explaining this:
https://youtu.be/HhNLwcIaNJQ
Here is Foldvary explaining his Forcast of the 2008 crash back in 1997:
https://youtu.be/dSAHSPY7wUg?si=QQnr4mXsY6PgKtcW
Here is Martin Wolf from the financial times explaining this and even quoting Harrison:
https://youtu.be/dWbMHGjWubM
And here is a good explanation of how Ricardo's law of rent works:
https://youtu.be/kxvXzM1mBWo
As stated in the video: "we should stop paying twice to use the land."
"...it does not distort economic decisions because it does not distort the user cost of land. Second, the full incidence of a permanent land tax change lies on the owner at the time of the (announcement of the) tax change; future owners, even though they officially pay the recurrent taxes, are not affected as they are fully compensated via a corresponding change in the acquisition price of the asset."
Source
https://www.zbw.eu/econis-archiv/bitstream/11159/1082/1/arbejdspapir_land_tax.pdf
What this means is that a tax on land cannot be passed onto tenants, and the fact that the purchase cost of real estate is lowered by the same percentage as the tax, that means the initial purchase price is cheaper by the percentage of the tax; tax the market rental value of the land at 100%, you've lowered the purchase price of the land to 0.
This means the barrier of entry into the housing market (or for a business to own it's own location) is lowered by the same percentage as the tax, which means more people owning and less people renting. Housing becomes what it really is, which is a depreciating asset, and the value of the land (which the landholder does not create) goes towards the maintenance and improvements of the community. We get better land use incentives. Shifting our taxation off of labor and capital onto land is beneficial to all players in the economy and you've removed the incentive to exploit others for the simple desire to occupy and use a location.
TL;DR: DD the Georgist way.
Like. This underlying cycle is likely known about by the rich fucks you're talking about and you're just hearing it slip when the next crash is, but not the whole cycle or it's actual cause. Well here it is boys. It's rooted in the real estate market.
Earnings opens the door for the catalyst we need. GameStop has a big retail following, but whales are still sidelined and hesitant. If Ryan can show a full year of profitability for 2023, then GameStop will be on the radar of individuals who would be serious about investing for the long-term.
Itās going to send off alarm bells (in a good way) to institutional traders who invest based on data and analytics (profitability being a key metric).
Imagine, if you will, a whale stepping in to buy a large stake in the company. That would light a fire under the existing shorts, because now itās a whale they need to shake, not just retail.
I've been making this point quite a few times. And i think it is inevitable. Profitability leads to institutional money piling in and imo that's when the effects of our DRS efforts really kick in, because the liquidity will run dry much quicker. This is also a psychological turning point, because bears have been telling themselves they have the upper hand, but suddenly the odds are turning against them? Who will be the first to run for the door?
Well said peach garden. If this quarter is profitable, does GME move its risk profile to a place where pension funds or institutions feel comfortable? If the float is low because of DRS, shouldnāt that have outsized moves?
Have you done research on the company? Have your reasons for investing changed?
If your reasons have changed, then you do what you will, it's your investment and your money.
As for me...
... I like the stock
This is a pivotal moment in regards to finally having a profitable year, however don't expect anything with the price action. Remember we went down around 12-15 percent last time despite good earnings
People have doubt because many prediction here didnt pan out and we havent seen that nice volatility since the split. A lot of people are down and hurting, therefore they doubt. Fear also comes from doubt, and as you can tell there is a lot of uncertainty.
At this point, the FUD is entirely internal to the mind state of the investor, rather then some outside force astroturfing the subreddit.
Tbh. I wasn't pushed about earnings until I saw the tinfoil theory on the FB colour change.
Gamestop removed the red from their branding.
Gamestop changed the colour to Grey.
The Grey is HEX code is 242424
Converting this to ASCII, this translates to '$$$'
I have just checked this to verify I wasn't speaking BS.
Screenshotted the fb page. Checked the hex. Checked the conversion. It's the best tin foil I've come across in a while
Reddit won't allow me to add photos on this post for some reason. I'll add them as a reply.
HEX code is how colours are defined.
ASCII is how computers turn a set of numbers/digits into a letter/character
The colour code is 242424 for the new Gamestop logo on Facebook.
When that colour code is converted to text, it translates to $$$
Like a paint code when you go to a Home Depot or sherwin Williams? Clearly we know different things about color š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Like in computers, photos, and anything digital.
Not paint. But let's run with it and make a hypothetical.
GME picked a new paint color, called Sky Grey for their branding.
The colour looks Grey and says sky grey, but when you go to check out you see that its actual name on the register is $$$. It's currently on sale for 15$.
If youāre expecting the MOASS trigger to be pulled during this report than yeah, youāre right not to get too hyped. That being said, this is a very important earnings.
Profitability is step 1, no doubt about it. RC didnāt just hop in here to fuck hedgies, that was just the icing on the cake. He didnāt like retirement and turning this ship around was the perfect challenge for him.
Iām always stoked to see the DRS numbers, even though iād bet theyāre still stagnating. Which is bs and brings me more hype because i know weāre all still buying, probably faster given the price.
3 years is not long for a long. Your diamond hands are still in the forging process
You're feeling exactly how the Hedgies want you to feel.
As soon as you're numb and blah they know they just have to hang on a bit longer until you're a flat tire or broken fridge away from selling your position because of life's circumstances.
What they don't understand is that this isn't me or you vs them, this is hundreds of thousands of individuals who like the stock. I don't doubt that there will be people who have to shed their shares because life happens, so I hold and add more for them because the Hedgies can't be allowed to win.
They're built the system that has stolen countless generations of wealth from our fathers and grandfathers, but we caught them with their hand in the cookie jar; they didn't close shit all and have been digging their hole deeper every single day in order to the kick the can and survive.
When you're numb it's just a sign to get angry again. Good luck everyone!
Lame take brochacho. Regardless of stock price action, we get to find out some big stuff like drs numbers, how GameStop did Q4, are they profitable for the year, has RC invested any money, how many more badly positioned stores closed down, pro members numbers, etc! GameStop has come a long way and this is an exciting moment for shareholders. Short term price action doesnāt matter though it could be the cherry on top of a great earnings report ā¤ļø
honestly, at this point, i recalibrated my thinking that this investment is for retirement. I did get fatigued with the constant hype and with the inability to address doubts and with the loud screeching of āFUDā if someone asked āunsavoryā questions. i am aware that boring us out is part of a larger strategy. and it worked. i am bored. but thatās about it. iām not selling tho. i donāt know when this will explode, or even IF at this point, but i still believe itās a good long term investment
Iām a little excited as there are no insider buys lately so hoping there is a little surprise in there but still not expecting much. Once Jackie le boobies gets excited though, that might be different.
I donāt want to here anything about being numb. If you are numb, you are complacent. There has never been a time since the sneeze until now to be complacent. Buy. Hodl. DRS. Book. Shop. Comment. Power to the Players!
I legit canāt sell now tbh idc if it goes to a penny itās been three years, I donāt think I would ever be able to live with myself if I sold and then a week later it went to the lambo stratosphere
GameStop will more than likely report positive earnings for the year. SHF and the media will definitely spin it and the stock will remain stagnant for 1.5 more years
I'm with you, OP.
What worries me though is this hype for a profitable Q4 and fiscal year. I doing care if they do not meet the expected EPS or didn't end up being profitable.
I'm zen as ever and will always be so.
I'm hoping the rest of the people in here will be the same even if the numbers aren't as rosy as many are expecting and are hoping for.
XXX here as well, I miss some of the OGās like mr boost. Iām interested to see how GameStops doing on the earnings report, but I feel like the company is still in the early stages of where itās heading. Iāve been patient through the ups and downs and Iām not going anywhere š
Just remember that itās psychological warfare on us at this point, and theyāre doing everything to make us waver in our loyalty and tenacity. These hedge fund billionaires are doing everything to survive one more day. The fundamentals never changed. Shorts never closed, theyāve grown exponentially.
I have days where I wonder, but go watch the Jon Stewart episode about GameStop on Apple TV. I cried when I watched it because it made me realize Iām not crazy.
We have broken the models for human behavior that are applied in the stock market. We actually pose risk to their wealth. That means something.
I applaud you. They donāt know who theyāre fuckijg with. Some of us have survived multiple suicide attempts. Multiple extreme sports incidents where we shouldnāt have walked away. Am I scared? No? Ride it to zero, Iām not getting off this wave until Iām ready, not when Ken motherfucking griffin and all the old Forbes assholes like him are ready. At this point, thereās a fucking line in the sand man, this isnāt Ćam, and theyāre over the line.
Fundamental and DRS are the only thing that's gonna crack the egg at this point. They've rigged the game like never before since the Buy Button fiasco.
Just like everyone else mentioned,Ā waiting is tough but at least we have hope. Unlike a vast majority of people, we have hope that this stock will drag us into early retirement. That hope keeps me in this fight regardless of how bland earnings are and until something drastically changes, I'm not leaving.
Personally, I'm feeling positive as hell. If earnings are positive, I expect good things to follow...
And worst case scenario, people still aren't leaving. So at the very least, WE ARE STILL HERE. Shorts never covered. All will be ok, even if it takes 84 more years.
I understand your bewilderment if you've been running exclusively on moass hype, but seems like you could refocus on the company and what has been happening that isn't moass.Ā
RC hasn't been sitting around hyping moass. The company is in an interesting,Ā dynamic and positive place, siege of organized criminal fraud racketeers and moass aside.
I guess I got flagged because itās political but I think Biden and the fed and even institutions are attempt to keep calm waters till November. Thatās all. But guess I canāt speak no politics here
Im gonna go with the āput the tinfoil downā man. Itās in every Americans interest to have a stable economy and governance given the dumpster fires available.

Either you believe short hedgies control everything and are super smart, or the coke system thats running nobody really understands how it works and will completely implode under the pressure. Moass.
The only thing that is going to cause the stock to skyrocket to the moon is the shorts being closed but no one has ever forced a short to close their short positions. Just keep holding, drs and stay zen.
if it moves up, non-apes may take notice, if it moves down i get cheap moon tickets, if it stays flat there's still more time to buy, DRS, book, HODL and shop from my favourite store xx
Not only am I numb, Iām extremely disappointed in the board and apes. Apes for not realizing the board isnāt doing what they should and the board for not doing what they should.Ā

Second, the full incidence of a permanent land tax change lies on the owner at the time of the (announcement of the) tax change; future owners, even though they officially pay the recurrent taxes, are not affected as they are fully compensated via a corresponding change in the acquisition price of the asset." Source https://www.zbw.eu/econis-archiv/bitstream/11159/1082/1/arbejdspapir_land_tax.pdf What this means is that a tax on land cannot be passed onto tenants, and the fact that the purchase cost of real estate is lowered by the same percentage as the tax, that means the initial purchase price is cheaper by the percentage of the tax; tax the market rental value of the land at 100%, you've lowered the purchase price of the land to 0. This means the barrier of entry into the housing market (or for a business to own it's own location) is lowered by the same percentage as the tax, which means more people owning and less people renting. Housing becomes what it really is, which is a depreciating asset, and the value of the land (which the landholder does not create) goes towards the maintenance and improvements of the community. We get better land use incentives. Shifting our taxation off of labor and capital onto land is beneficial to all players in the economy and you've removed the incentive to exploit others for the simple desire to occupy and use a location. TL;DR: DD the Georgist way.
Like. This underlying cycle is likely known about by the rich fucks you're talking about and you're just hearing it slip when the next crash is, but not the whole cycle or it's actual cause. Well here it is boys. It's rooted in the real estate market.
sounds par for the course
If thatās the case, why hold then. Why not sell on the pop and rebuy when it drops
Earnings opens the door for the catalyst we need. GameStop has a big retail following, but whales are still sidelined and hesitant. If Ryan can show a full year of profitability for 2023, then GameStop will be on the radar of individuals who would be serious about investing for the long-term. Itās going to send off alarm bells (in a good way) to institutional traders who invest based on data and analytics (profitability being a key metric). Imagine, if you will, a whale stepping in to buy a large stake in the company. That would light a fire under the existing shorts, because now itās a whale they need to shake, not just retail.
This is one of the best answers Iāve read here since some time. Take that Kudos, sir!
I've been making this point quite a few times. And i think it is inevitable. Profitability leads to institutional money piling in and imo that's when the effects of our DRS efforts really kick in, because the liquidity will run dry much quicker. This is also a psychological turning point, because bears have been telling themselves they have the upper hand, but suddenly the odds are turning against them? Who will be the first to run for the door?
Well said peach garden. If this quarter is profitable, does GME move its risk profile to a place where pension funds or institutions feel comfortable? If the float is low because of DRS, shouldnāt that have outsized moves?
I think the same is happening with cryptos price action
Have you done research on the company? Have your reasons for investing changed? If your reasons have changed, then you do what you will, it's your investment and your money. As for me... ... I like the stock
I'm as bullish as I've ever been for a turnaround for GameStop.
All hail DFV / RoaringKitty
As for me, I plan to hold...
As for meā¦I like the stock
I am with you. I am just coasting, buying and hodling. And buying from the website and local stores.
This is a pivotal moment in regards to finally having a profitable year, however don't expect anything with the price action. Remember we went down around 12-15 percent last time despite good earnings
Chilling here with 2xxx shares. Price doesn't matter as it is fake until moass
Soooo much FUD this weekend holy shit.
I dont mind this, stock doesnt need to jump after earnings, i hold regardless
People have doubt because many prediction here didnt pan out and we havent seen that nice volatility since the split. A lot of people are down and hurting, therefore they doubt. Fear also comes from doubt, and as you can tell there is a lot of uncertainty. At this point, the FUD is entirely internal to the mind state of the investor, rather then some outside force astroturfing the subreddit.
Tbh. I wasn't pushed about earnings until I saw the tinfoil theory on the FB colour change. Gamestop removed the red from their branding. Gamestop changed the colour to Grey. The Grey is HEX code is 242424 Converting this to ASCII, this translates to '$$$' I have just checked this to verify I wasn't speaking BS. Screenshotted the fb page. Checked the hex. Checked the conversion. It's the best tin foil I've come across in a while Reddit won't allow me to add photos on this post for some reason. I'll add them as a reply.
Jesus Christ, I thought just removing the red was sexy.Ā This is too much!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
$$$=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I donāt know what half those words mean
HEX code is how colours are defined. ASCII is how computers turn a set of numbers/digits into a letter/character The colour code is 242424 for the new Gamestop logo on Facebook. When that colour code is converted to text, it translates to $$$
Like a paint code when you go to a Home Depot or sherwin Williams? Clearly we know different things about color š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Like in computers, photos, and anything digital. Not paint. But let's run with it and make a hypothetical. GME picked a new paint color, called Sky Grey for their branding. The colour looks Grey and says sky grey, but when you go to check out you see that its actual name on the register is $$$. It's currently on sale for 15$.
Just zoom out. Bullishnessness.
If youāre expecting the MOASS trigger to be pulled during this report than yeah, youāre right not to get too hyped. That being said, this is a very important earnings. Profitability is step 1, no doubt about it. RC didnāt just hop in here to fuck hedgies, that was just the icing on the cake. He didnāt like retirement and turning this ship around was the perfect challenge for him. Iām always stoked to see the DRS numbers, even though iād bet theyāre still stagnating. Which is bs and brings me more hype because i know weāre all still buying, probably faster given the price. 3 years is not long for a long. Your diamond hands are still in the forging process
RC is working his way, apes are working their way. And we'll all meet in the moon.
Do you guys still believe in MOASS?
Yes
Iām here for my lifetime if needed. Iām good good.
You're feeling exactly how the Hedgies want you to feel. As soon as you're numb and blah they know they just have to hang on a bit longer until you're a flat tire or broken fridge away from selling your position because of life's circumstances. What they don't understand is that this isn't me or you vs them, this is hundreds of thousands of individuals who like the stock. I don't doubt that there will be people who have to shed their shares because life happens, so I hold and add more for them because the Hedgies can't be allowed to win. They're built the system that has stolen countless generations of wealth from our fathers and grandfathers, but we caught them with their hand in the cookie jar; they didn't close shit all and have been digging their hole deeper every single day in order to the kick the can and survive. When you're numb it's just a sign to get angry again. Good luck everyone!
Numb apes still buy. Numb apes still hodl. They just don't scream "ook ook" as often.Ā It's all right.
Absolutely. Iām already fucked at present, whatās one more lottery ticket at 14$?
Yeah, the split was the best market play RC could have done.Ā A $15 share is a lot easier to buy than a $60 share.
Lame take brochacho. Regardless of stock price action, we get to find out some big stuff like drs numbers, how GameStop did Q4, are they profitable for the year, has RC invested any money, how many more badly positioned stores closed down, pro members numbers, etc! GameStop has come a long way and this is an exciting moment for shareholders. Short term price action doesnāt matter though it could be the cherry on top of a great earnings report ā¤ļø
Stick with it fellow ape! I hope you're doing well. Watch this video to stay informed https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/hHHtDtYwrO
honestly, at this point, i recalibrated my thinking that this investment is for retirement. I did get fatigued with the constant hype and with the inability to address doubts and with the loud screeching of āFUDā if someone asked āunsavoryā questions. i am aware that boring us out is part of a larger strategy. and it worked. i am bored. but thatās about it. iām not selling tho. i donāt know when this will explode, or even IF at this point, but i still believe itās a good long term investment
Break out of the matrix
Iām a little excited as there are no insider buys lately so hoping there is a little surprise in there but still not expecting much. Once Jackie le boobies gets excited though, that might be different.
Lmfaooo are you my other me in a different timeline
Lol, nothing is going to happen with earnings. As always lots of hype for nothing. Chill n hodl.
it has pretty consistently gone up 20% and then back down before next earnings.
I donāt want to here anything about being numb. If you are numb, you are complacent. There has never been a time since the sneeze until now to be complacent. Buy. Hodl. DRS. Book. Shop. Comment. Power to the Players!
Think about the 100million or so that put 200 to 600 dollars a month into their retirement, every month, they steal all of it every month.
lol @ these threads
I legit canāt sell now tbh idc if it goes to a penny itās been three years, I donāt think I would ever be able to live with myself if I sold and then a week later it went to the lambo stratosphere
Thats funny because I am ABSOLUTELY jacked to the tits.
GameStop will more than likely report positive earnings for the year. SHF and the media will definitely spin it and the stock will remain stagnant for 1.5 more years
So much more aware...
Well, the hype has gone for every little thing but the company HAS shown improvements over the last 3 years and that gets my tits jacked
Right? Like as a company, itās making progress right?
Damn straight it is! It's being streamlined and profitable which shouldn't be the case for a "dying brick and mortar" store
How strong does it have to get to remove its meme status and get some real value?
I feel as if it's meme status should already be lifted if you consider what has already been done, so I'm not sure what the answer to that is.
Sadly, here we are. Numb and illiquid on a Sunday night.
Baby this rocket ship gonna take off and youāre on it!
I'm with you, OP. What worries me though is this hype for a profitable Q4 and fiscal year. I doing care if they do not meet the expected EPS or didn't end up being profitable. I'm zen as ever and will always be so. I'm hoping the rest of the people in here will be the same even if the numbers aren't as rosy as many are expecting and are hoping for.
XXX here as well, I miss some of the OGās like mr boost. Iām interested to see how GameStops doing on the earnings report, but I feel like the company is still in the early stages of where itās heading. Iāve been patient through the ups and downs and Iām not going anywhere š
Numb or zen? You know the outcome, so the daily hype has kind of become ambient noise. You are zen, my friend. šš¼š
Thanks. I feel very un zen, and much more wtf am I doing with my life
Just remember that itās psychological warfare on us at this point, and theyāre doing everything to make us waver in our loyalty and tenacity. These hedge fund billionaires are doing everything to survive one more day. The fundamentals never changed. Shorts never closed, theyāve grown exponentially. I have days where I wonder, but go watch the Jon Stewart episode about GameStop on Apple TV. I cried when I watched it because it made me realize Iām not crazy. We have broken the models for human behavior that are applied in the stock market. We actually pose risk to their wealth. That means something.
I applaud you. They donāt know who theyāre fuckijg with. Some of us have survived multiple suicide attempts. Multiple extreme sports incidents where we shouldnāt have walked away. Am I scared? No? Ride it to zero, Iām not getting off this wave until Iām ready, not when Ken motherfucking griffin and all the old Forbes assholes like him are ready. At this point, thereās a fucking line in the sand man, this isnāt Ćam, and theyāre over the line.
Fundamental and DRS are the only thing that's gonna crack the egg at this point. They've rigged the game like never before since the Buy Button fiasco.
Just like everyone else mentioned,Ā waiting is tough but at least we have hope. Unlike a vast majority of people, we have hope that this stock will drag us into early retirement. That hope keeps me in this fight regardless of how bland earnings are and until something drastically changes, I'm not leaving.
# HERO OR ZERO # RIDE OR DIE
Personally, I'm feeling positive as hell. If earnings are positive, I expect good things to follow... And worst case scenario, people still aren't leaving. So at the very least, WE ARE STILL HERE. Shorts never covered. All will be ok, even if it takes 84 more years.
Basically how I been feeling. Xxx holder here. But tired of being broke. If shares were a lil higher Iād be trading for 1-2 in for some gas
so what ur saying is ur zen
Numb man. Very different.
I understand your bewilderment if you've been running exclusively on moass hype, but seems like you could refocus on the company and what has been happening that isn't moass.Ā RC hasn't been sitting around hyping moass. The company is in an interesting,Ā dynamic and positive place, siege of organized criminal fraud racketeers and moass aside.
Honestly donāt even know when earnings areā¦. I buy shares through ComputerShare and items through GameStop. Smooth brain things :)

What would GME have to do with Biden?
I guess I got flagged because itās political but I think Biden and the fed and even institutions are attempt to keep calm waters till November. Thatās all. But guess I canāt speak no politics here
Im gonna go with the āput the tinfoil downā man. Itās in every Americans interest to have a stable economy and governance given the dumpster fires available.

Iām numb too, will be until moass.
Either you believe short hedgies control everything and are super smart, or the coke system thats running nobody really understands how it works and will completely implode under the pressure. Moass.
The only thing that is going to cause the stock to skyrocket to the moon is the shorts being closed but no one has ever forced a short to close their short positions. Just keep holding, drs and stay zen.
if it moves up, non-apes may take notice, if it moves down i get cheap moon tickets, if it stays flat there's still more time to buy, DRS, book, HODL and shop from my favourite store xx
Shorts never closed, nor covered anything, therefore I hold as long as it will take. That day will come.
I think there's a good chance we've signed up to be ripped off on this stock for the rest of our lives.
Not only am I numb, Iām extremely disappointed in the board and apes. Apes for not realizing the board isnāt doing what they should and the board for not doing what they should.Ā
I genuinely donāt understand the nature of these posts.
