@APompliano @ryancohen He made money so everything he does is genius?
Isn’t that what they said about Trump as well
English

I see a lot of people dismissing @ryancohen’s proposal for $GME to acquire eBay.
Rookie mistake.
He started Chewy (now $10B company), saved GameStop from its demise, and has created a fortified balance sheet.
Ryan is a winner with a track record of doing the impossible.

@Iliekstonkz @TheLongInvest Speaking of idolizing, why does it matter if he’s a billionaire, just answer the fucking question about YOUR company, regarding a deal YOU just announced, that’s in the interest of YOUR shareholders to understand.
And just calm down with the jacket, Jensen already did that.
English

@TheLongInvest Sorkin is a bitch. Ryan Cohen is a self made billionaire. He answered the questions just fine. Why do you idolize news anchors?
CNBC has done nothing but degrade the man and GameStop over the years. Cohen owes them NOTHING and he expressed that he has no respect for them.
English

Is Ryan high af here?
This is not a CEO you could ever get behind.
Sorkin asks a straight forward question
How do you come up with the money to acquire a company nearly 4 times your size and he can’t answer a basic question
EBay need to laugh at this
Exec Sum@exec_sum
BREAKING: Andrew Ross Sorkin challenges GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen on how the company plans to finance the $56B eBay acquisition, claiming the math doesn’t add up. Cohen appears unamused by the questions and simply says 50/50 cash and stock.

@Malone_Wealth How do you get to a 50% stock component of ~$25bn when GMEs entire mcap is ~$10bn, Kevin? You’re gonna increase GMEs mcap by issuing new shares? Genius more companies should do that
English

This interview was incredible. Cohen said multiple times that the offer was half cash half shares and they continously said that he only had $29B in cash so HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY BUY A COMPANY FOR $56B!?!?
In my own head I said "umm because the other half is shares??" and CNBC could not put that math together. Then told him "The math doesn't math". Eventually leading to complete confusion on RC's side and him realizing that they brought him on to just try to make him look incompetent compared to all of the "finance pros here". Absolute shill-fest. @ryancohen

I get why people want to hate on this douchebag. But imho it's totally reasonable for a small company to buy a much much larger company with debt and equity issuance. Anyone with even a few years of skin in the game have seen leveraged buyouts and leveraged merger transactions. Frankly I even get the overlap between GameStop and EBay in terms of collectibles and other consumers stuff. People do leveraged buyouts/mergers for much less valid reasons. If you don't think the debt funding is secured sell $EBAY. If you don't think the deal is good for $GME shares because they are paying too much sell the share. But a 50/50 debt equity deal isn't outrageous.

“We are offering half cash, half stock, and we have the ability to issue stock in order to get the deal done," says $GME CEO @ryancohen on offering a bid for @eBay. Watch the full interview: cnb.cx/4n9TB4w

@unusual_whales the jacket and the attitude
bro c'mon, we get it, you're john travolta in Grease, but can you just answer the question like a normal human?

@adammocklerr I'm on the right and used to disagree with you on everything - and prob still do - but you are wiping the floor with these idiots.
Please continue.

@Acyn The classic argument "I understand this better than you - therefore, stfu" 😂
English

Lambert: He didn’t shoot himself in the foot.
Mockler: What do you call liberation day? What do you call the Iran war? What do you call the fact that he could have just been steady handed and had a better economy?
Lambert: We don’t have to get into a whole economic discussion.
Mockler: Who pays the tariffs?
Lambert: I understand tariffs better than you.
Mockler: Who pays them?
Lambert: It depends. China paid a lot of those tariffs.

This is so true. I lived this.
Functionally, my career as a "hedge fund guy" was over at 32. I built my ego around being a rising star, working at blue chip hedge funds, big bonuses, living the hedge fund lifestyle (fancy dinners, Hamptons share, brokers rolling out the red carpet).
A bad career decision, a few bad trades, and not only did my self identity shift from "rising star" to "damaged goods", but my nervous system was so shot that I couldn't even muster the energy for a comeback attempt.
I pulled the plug and moved my family from NYC to Arizona. I thought the change of scenery & lifestyle would be an immediate balm to the the angst I felt inside. Instead, things got dark, and really for the first time in my life, I struggled with depression.
My advice to anyone who peaks early is the criticality of a new dimension of purpose. For me, three young sons (at that point, 6, 4 & 6 months) and a loving & supportive wife were the critical elements that kept me on track, and got me back on track. And, in retrospect, the pain was the biggest gift I've ever received, as it drove a deep exploration of spirituality & the true architecture of the universe. I had time and space to explore questions I never had time to explore before, like "Who am I and why am I here?".
Jared Sleeper@JaredSleeper
Any profession where people have decent odds of peaking early (i.e. 20s) can exact a big emotional toll on the unprepared. Professional athletes, hedge fund guys, etc.

@RapidResponse47 Just get that oil price to $200 already, another record to brag about

@TONYxTWO "Please take my money, I don't need it, I got Trump"
bro... cmon
English

@DonaldJTrumpJr Why bother reading it?
From today and many years forward,
The name "TRUMP" = Lies, scam, and just out for themselves.
Beware.

@nickgiva1 Problem is, that the reliability of the US admin is also zero.

@puppyeh1 I watched this earlier and didn't know who Gary was. From the convo, I thought he was just a leftie normie with no knowledge of economy or finance - which is fine, we all have different skillsets. But talking about economics is actually his career? WTF.
English

Have you ever seen a more complete dismantling of any economics-related podcast bro? This is just vicious 💀
I always thought Gary was a total fraud; this proves it.
Side note - never trust any supposed “expert” who literally cannot cede any point, no matter how minor, during an argument.

@unusual_whales Give him percentages on the cognitive test, and let’s see how the math genius will perform🙄
English

@TaviCosta One of the most bizarre things in 2026.
And also so offending. Like how dumb do they think people are?
English

@unusual_whales “600% drop in drug prices”
Yeah, he’s clearly a genius.
There’s people actually clapping for this in the world. That is so fascinating.

@ChrisCamillo @stocksandteeth Do you hold any particular view on $MSFT today?
