@DarthShillious @Diputsur @Kyl0Z3n buying back shares to prop up the stock price isn't exactly a flex. It's a sign of operational underperformance. How's user growth? How is the seller experience? How are expenses being managed?

@Diputsur @Kyl0Z3n Okay you win stupid for the day. Shares outstanding at EBay have gone from 652 million in 2021 to 444 million today. And they pay a dividend.

Why would an $EBAY investor approve an M&A with $GME to be run by cohen? They seem to be doing just fine on their own.

Today I quit investing $GME for my mental health. Years of unsuccessful investing took it's toll. People told me to sell at break even but I studied, average down & hold through the pain. I'm disappointed in myself I sold all my $GME at a loss to safety of cash. Maybe I'm missing out on MOASS but I can't afford another 50% drop... Either way I won't be posting for a while, I need a break to think about what I've done. See you 2027 when I buy the dip again! 🐕👋

@CarsonNickelSon @Drew72361587327 @ReesePolitics @ryancohen which explains why eBay is trading closer and closer to the $125 mark...if you knew that a share of a company was selling for a certain price and it was trading under that price...you'd buy the shares at the discounted price.

@PoliticsLayman @Drew72361587327 @ReesePolitics @ryancohen has done everything but indicate he’s backing out of this.

Yeah, they totally don't think the GME-EBAY merger will go through... /s $GME

@CarsonNickelSon @Drew72361587327 @ReesePolitics it's trading closer to $125 because of the GME offer...if GME were to say they're withdrawing their interest in the company it would probably go back to trading at ~$85/share and the GME share price would bounce back to the $25 range.

@Drew72361587327 @ReesePolitics I ask again. Why would eBay sell EBAY for $125 if it’s trading at $125? There’s no premium. GME would have to buy it for even more. That makes sense to you?

@feralbutfriend @TheRoaringKitty says who? if you're not Keith Gill then you really should not speak for him.

$EBAY shareholders, remember that if you merge with $GME, you get @TheRoaringKitty. It’s a package deal. 🎁

@grok @justinbrewer33 @natsturner @gamestop he has 3.5 years to purchase, no?

No. No public statements, interviews, or posts from Nat Turner indicate he cannot buy $GME shares. As a director, he is subject to GameStop's standard insider trading policy (blackout periods, no trading on MNPI), plus recusal rules tied to the PSA partnership. No Form 4 open-market purchases reported, but that's not the same as a personal public declaration of inability.

Hey @grok … how long has PSA CEO @natsturner been a on the @gamestop Board? And how many $GME shares has he bought in the open market with his own money?

@RoaringKitty_22 anything under $125 is a deal from GME's perspective.

Breaking News: $EBAY continues printing new ATHs. Someone is aggressively bidding this up. The real question is… is this hostile? wink wink : Gamestop $GME

@JoshuaBarlage @YahooFinance I mean...he did take GameStop from losing hundreds of millions of dollars a quarter to being operationally profitable. He also had a good deal of success with Chewy. It's difficult to make a case that he wouldn't make eBay better for sellers, buyers, and shareholders.

If it goes to a shareholders vote, what would ever make Ebay shareholders think he’s our guy!?… Ebay’s current board is ACTUALLY making them money (not just talking about it) while RC has been doing NOTHING for his GME shareholders... THE GUY IS A TOTAL FRAUD!… No chance EBay shareholders vote yes, unless they like losing money… If so, THEN RYAN COHEN IS YOUR GUY!

Ryan Cohen is firing back at eBay's board after it rejected GameStop's $56 billion takeover bid.

@cryptobuck1234 @GoatBeardzDD @PeterRHann1 I always wonder what goes through someone's mind when they say or think something like this. GME going bankrupt would be almost impossible since they're a profitable company with billions of dollars in the bank. But hey, crazier things have happened.

@GoatBeardzDD @PeterRHann1 Because gme is going bankrupt

$GME issued warrants. They’re currently out of the money. The company has said absolutely nothing about them — not at earnings, not in the eBay bid, not in the proxy. $32 strike on a $22 stock. Why issue them at all? Why has there been zero mention?

@chiocchio @StockRetail @ryancohen meh, debatable. You'll find people that agree with you, but there are millions of shareholders who would disagree.

@PoliticsLayman @StockRetail What makes the offer not credible nor attractive is having @ryancohen be the CEO of the new company.

Gamestop is offering $125. The current price is $107. Hard to tell shareholders that is “unattractive”. Other motives involved?

@MedinaGeorgie @APompliano @dgitalsovereign @ryancohen OK. That is 100% fair, now you're cooking. You should really note that there's a fair chance BTC price improves AND they're using their position to generate money by lending them out.

@PoliticsLayman @APompliano @dgitalsovereign @ryancohen Bitcoin investment is also down.

FULL INTERVIEW: @ryancohen explains his plan to acquire eBay. He unpacks his pitch to institutional investors, why eBay is so horribly run, and how Ryan plans to create billion in shareholder value. $GME $EBAY

@CGasparino @tweetedstuff why does gasparino spend so much time trolling on twitter? You'd think he would have better things to do than alienate people.

Oops $GME

@MedinaGeorgie @APompliano @dgitalsovereign @ryancohen yeah, but if memory serves me, they closed the stores that didn't make money which is probably a good thing. I'm not a business consultant, but focusing on profitability over top line revenue growth has some merit.

@PoliticsLayman @APompliano @dgitalsovereign @ryancohen We closed over 1500 stores

@aK1dNC @APompliano @ryancohen it seems like GameStop has been focused on profitability, closing or selling poorly performing stores, being more efficient, and preparing to pivot to growth/acquisition mode once operational profitability has been achieved (which it has). Is this bad?

@APompliano @ryancohen GameStop is a company that hasn’t had revenue grow to outside of cap raises in YEARS. Zero operational growth. Zero. Zilch. None. Not a single shareholder, except the 5% owned by GME, finds this hilariously stupid “deal” attractive lol

eBay has rejected @ryancohen's bid for the company. Ryan says the fight is not over. The $GME CEO is playing to win.

@dankourny @GregIsKitty @Qq8221794_Ninja @ryancohen @APompliano are you asserting that GameStop isn't operationally profitable without interest earnings on their cash?

@GregIsKitty @Qq8221794_Ninja @ryancohen @APompliano $gme earnings come from interest it receives on the cash it raised from shareholders. It’s a 💩company with a 💩CEO owned by shareholders with 💩 for brains.

When Ryan Cohen says GameStop’s results speak for themselves, this is what he means by the way: Listen to this segment from the @ryancohen interview with @APompliano. If $GME acquires $eBay, Ryan says he will increase eBay’s earnings potential. Just like he did with Chewy. Just like he did with GameStop. Spending $2.4B in sales & marketing to acquire ~1M net buyers isn’t just an inefficient CAC… It’s burning money that could otherwise be saved to bring value to shareholders.

@lasvegas_ape the stock price decrease is more likely due to M&A related hedging.

GameStop stock is down -11.75% in one week on news that they bought a bunch of eBay calls that are very much in the green. LOL. Everything is fake. TICKTOCK HEDGIE🦍🦍🦍#GME $GME

@chiocchio @StockRetail The GME stock offered will include ownership in both GME and eBay as a single entity. eBay's board should take it to a shareholder vote and they may very well be forced to do so.

@StockRetail They are not offering $125. They are offering $62.50 and a bunch of GME stock that they know is worthless once they give away the $62.50. The offer is not credible nor attractive for either company.

@MedinaGeorgie @APompliano @dgitalsovereign @ryancohen i think the point is that he DID do that for GameStop. Took a company losing hundreds of millions of dollars a year and made it operationally profitable. Next step is acquisition and growth.

@APompliano @dgitalsovereign @ryancohen Why isn’t he making tht kinda impact on $GME stock? Why is he not having good relations with stock holders?

@jackson_ge51896 @seymourbutts741 Trump is a grifter.

On your side, but yall are so boring. How can you not love Trump and still support GME and RC? I really hope only good people make bank. Some of you are not good people. Some of you are. I remember many of you following and loving on Houston!! Protect Children and Animals not idiot adults!!

@AriFleischer talk about moving the bar. pun intended.

You shouldn't have been there in the first place.
