Good. I hope he spends some time in the slammer.

This is classic market manipulation intended to enrich himself and leave unsophisticated retail investors holding the bag. I doubt retail investors who bought GameStop at $300 and were left holding the bag are too happy with him right now.

way to expose that you did ZERO research on the topic and don't know what you are talking about
actually to be fair you probably saw "pre-market" valuation in say wiki, but that shows you hadn't done your diligence it didn't open at that price

Why are you defending this guy so hard?

Hes a multimillionaire who will be financially secure for life even if GameStop goes bankrupt, and doesnt give a shit about you.

Imagine how all those people who bought GameStop in the $500s in 2021 after listening to him, now feel after losing 95%+ of their investment.

You understand he didn't buy the stock yet right?

He bought the future ability to buy the stock.

His future move would not be to dump but he would then buy the stock.

You guys literally have no idea what a pump and dump is it seems.
@iGenesis

The bigger subtext here is that e-trade likely doesn't have the stock to give to him when he exercises his right to buy
Or he could just sell the calls.

He bought 120,000 options contracts for $5.6754 each. Theyre now worth $6.67 each thanks to all the lemmings who jumped in on GameStop stock or options to mirror his trades, sending the value up.

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GME240607C00020000/

Its good Morgan Stanley is considering dropping him as a client, and securities regulators are reviewing his trades & posts. Hes manipulating markets in a sleazy company no less for personal gain.

Wouldn't be surprised fandom sells gamefaqs to someone else in few years.
This site is probably worth less than $1 million at this point. Probably more tax efficient for them to simply shut it down & write it off.

CJayC sold it to CNET along with 2 unrelated websites for $2.2 million. The other 2 were obscure, thinly-trafficked sites so $2M for GF in 2007 is probably a reasonable estimate.

This sites traffic is less than a quarter of what it was at its peak. Account for inflation & the sites decline and <$1M is probably a reasonable estimate for todays value.

Fandoms ~$50M package deal was for GF plus a bunch of other major sites like TV Guide & Metacritic.

Usually, owners want to hold on to businesses that are growing and seen as having lots of future potential. They wouldnt be tossed around from one owner to another like a hot potato. Its a pity this site didnt keep up with the times and declined.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/26/wealth-gap-between-millennials-new-class-war.html

While the average millennial has less wealth at the age of 35 than previous generations, the top 10% of millennials have 20% more wealth than the top baby boomers at the same age.

The authors say the top 10% of millennials have benefited from greater rewards for skilled jobs. As they put it, The returns to high-status work trajectories have increased, while the returns to low-status trajectories have stagnated or declined.

The millennials who went to college, found graduate level jobs, and started families relatively late, ended up with higher levels of wealth than Baby Boomers with similar life trajectories, according to the report.

In places like Seattle, San Francisco, New York City, and Washington DC, its far from uncommon to see millennial couples/households, or even singles, making over $500,000/year. Working in technology (Google alone pays that much to new grads), investment banking, and legal are the most common paths to get there.

Bitcoin prices would have to double every ~3.75 years for miners to maintain their profit margins.

At some point this entire industry will self-implode, as this growth rate is too fast to be sustainable over the next century.

Itd be great for the environment when that happens, as all Bitcoin mining does is waste energy.

Crimsoness posted...
Exclusivity isn't helping either
  • PS5 has sold between 50-60 million units.
  • Do Xbox Series X|S users care about this game? Seems like the Xbox fanbase overwhelmingly prefers Western games. And remember Sony is paying SE for the console exclusivity, which presumably exceeds what FF7 would have sold on Xbox, or SE wouldnt have agreed to the deal.
  • Its being ported to PC.
  • Switch doesnt have enough power to run it.
So this is pretty much as good as it gets for sales. Blaming the PS5, the best selling 9th-generation console by at least a 3-to-1 margin, is misguided.
