TulaneLSU,

Thank you friend
In all seriousness, I do plan to make an increase in my tithings as well as a % of my profits to St Jude Children’s Hospital once it’s all settled. I’m going to try to request that it fittingly go towards video games for the inpatients.

Yours in Christ,
Upperdecker

Is this popping solely on the RC news? Is this financial engineering or sustainable change to the business model driving these hyper gains?

Value play with some financial tomfoolery. Gamestop is slowly adapting, cohen is gonna force the issue though and faster than current management seemed to previously want. Theyre pretty healthy financially other than declining sales. Good news has been tremendous e-commerce growth and large amount of customer data plus early debt paybacks.

If they're smart they leverage this short squeeze to release some of the 100k shares they shelved. Bring in some capital to push faster like cohen wants

Cohen has insisted he wants to protect shareholder value. Which I interpret partly as not allowing GameStop to dilute its shareholders (including himself). And he has the board votes to do that

Up another $5 pre market! This is wild. I’ve been trading for about 10 years now, gambled on penny stocks, small cap biotechs and have never been in on something like this before where just actual shares are up this much %

This is what I’m looking for. Overstock had an elongated short squeeze this year and went from $2 to $120. Think this lasted a month or so. Looks like 5M short shares were covered yesterday. Only 70M to go

I had kind of given up on the short squeeze dream and was looking at selling any day

The good news is that the squeeze is so hyped on the retail side that there should be pretty good hold pressure

I bet we get 40-45 today

I think $45 is possible. I bought some 40c expiring tomorrow before close so I’m betting on it

Gonna be ITM by the time the market opens.

Long run though it's better for shareholders if the company sells some stock at a premium now and pays down debt. I don't think he wants a ton of dilution but this is their best chance at a capital raise with minimal dilution

Averaged 1.20

Obv not ITM right now but I’m green on them and holding based on the potential, willing to risk my investment there based on the possible reward

I agree it’s their best chance to raise capital. I think they’ll monitor the short squeeze and time the offering to go along with when the short squeeze has really taken off. But I don’t think Cohen will allow it to happen before the squeeze really occurs

Bought GME at $4 knowing it'd have a spike with new system sales. Sold at $17.

Kicking myself today

That is still a fantastic profit. Don't sweat it too much. We can't be perfect at every single thing we invest in.

I'd be kicking more if I'd lost money

Just started playing with Robinhood in August so I've got alot to learn. I learned I should have been 4 months earlier.

But hey I'm sitting at 50% return overall so I'm not complaining. Easy to do with where the market was though.

Made some big money on that touch of $43 with my 1/15 40c calls I bought yesterday. Sold for 450%

Have taken profit along the way on about 1/5th of my position. Still heavily invested. There should be a good amount of squeeze left, no?
