Gamestop and The Stock Market

[Avery]

I would also suggest that a lot of people like the physical copies because they like to display cases as trophies/to highlight their collection even if they don't play the game. They're collectors after all.

They should pivot to be like those places in Walmart where kids go play... sell cases and other collectibles to go with digital copies. Host local tournaments... be like a tween bowling alley or some ****.

I’m not a gamer but they can’t stay with the same plan.

They do all those things. It's how they survive. That and scamming customers on trade in deals and getting them to buy stuff they dont need.

For a while it was a trend for youtubers to go on and tell their Gamestop stories. A lot of former managers go on and talk about how ****ed the company is and how bad the corporation is.

I’m mostly out... sold enough on amc and gme that I’m in them for free with some small holdings. The squeeze will take too long and these mother ****ers are just cheating anyway.

Paper hands

Wasnt it on reddit not long ago where we'd see horror stories about employees being mistreated while working for gamestop. Personally I never wanted to go in that store unless absolutely needed. They really try to upsell you crap.

Yeah, they force them to upsell or they get fired. It's one of the biggest things the managers complained about corporate doing. The only thing that really keeps retail stores afloat is customer experience and loyalty. Basically good store managers could keep a store profitable off doing things to make it more of a hangout spot/place someone would want to go to, but corporate forces them to do so much upselling that it basically makes that environment impossible to build.

Hey I bough back in on the dip with both AMC and GME. I still think that even when you clearly have these assholes beat they will break the rules and they have the politicians on payroll so good luck prosecuting. They hold the bag and won't let go... this staring contest is fantastic and may help burn down the economy.

After this week I think betting on sports is more legitimate than betting on stocks.

Gonna be some weird **** this week... if Robin Hood goes under what happens? The market was already over inflated... there is some tinder here and now some fuel... hopefully no matches are around.

Gamestop also loves to bundle overpriced bundles with new systems because they know it's a way to get rid of overpriced cases that they sell for $50 which you can get on eBay/Amazon for $5 and bargain-bin games. All to drive up that dime.

They also love to sell opened games as New so check your shrink wrap. As a company, they're a rabbit in the land of wolves.

Wes, I've been in financial services for over 20 years. Billionaire hedge funds get together all the time and collude to short sell companies out of existence. In the battle of lesser evils it's not even close.

Yeah, they are mostly struggling companies; but they're often companies with thousands of working class to middle class jobs behind them and Wall Street gets rich by accelerating their entry into the poor house.

The SEC has vast proof of this, but it's hiding under the proof file of election fraud costing Trump.

Also, short selling doesn't accelerate business losses.

It likely all loses steam real quick but it’s funny for now.

WSB has been great entertainment. What I can't figure out is why these boneheads can't take a win. What's their point at this point? They won the battle. Obliterated it, yet they need to still die on the sword? Their vendetta against who knows what is so strange, especially since at this point some of them are going to win, but only from others of their own who will lose. Theyre no longer taking from the big guy, theyre feeding on each other whether they realize it or not.

How the hell is that legal? I might have to drop Robin hood

It's not real. The reddit wierdos are making up all sorts of garbage like this and people have swallowed the worms. Hey, did you hear Citadel got Robin Hood to suspend buying but allow selling so the hedgies can close out their shorts? It had nothing to do with market mechanisms getting all ****ered by this volatility, and regulations put in place in 2008 to prevent financial chaos. Nope! Conspiracy! Git tha man, man! Diamond ****ing hands hold till we are all broke thatll show them!

Some people need to listen to themselves speak.
