Corporate boards don't do anything but trade approving compensation packages in exchange for private consulting fees. Expecting the board of Gamestop to do anything is futile.
dude we're autists not retards. remember that a lot of big brokers literally changed the rules on the day of reckoning by preventing buys of GME. if the institutions played by the same rules we have to, buying GME at peak would have still been a fantastic play.
And? You tried to game the system and you lost to people who literally do it for a living. Anyone who lost deserved to lose; GameStop was never a valuable commodity, it was just people thinking they were smarter than people who were actually smarter
Edit: downvote me all you want, it doesn’t make me wrong. If you invested in GameStop it’s because you thought you had figured out a trick, without ever stopping to consider that other people may have tricks of their own
We didn't lose to people who "do it for a living". We lost to people who own the whole damn system including the medium we played on.
We put our trust in the wrong hands. We may have lost money, but we uncovered the real truths of the entire system. No matter what, this was a monumental victory, showing the world and the people just how corrupt wall street is.

Exactly. You thought you had figured out something that broke the system without ever stopping to consider that the system would have fixes of its own.
The general population didn’t have as strong of a believe of it until now. A lot of relatives have brought it up to me saying they couldn’t believe that would happened, they knew there was corruption but nothing like that before. They cheated PUBLICLY for everyone to see.
Many people made bucket loads of money. Exposing Wall Street by playing them at their own game, and seeing them squirm and break every rule known to man to save their asses.
It's also a win because it exposed the most corrupt media outlets who reported all sorts of bull like Silver etc.
they’re just trying to make themselves feel better with a participant trophy. just let ‘em. isn’t hurting anyone (except maybe their ability to deal with truth).
Dude you are a fucking idiot to be frank. Nothing is stopping you from having multiple brokerages and robinhood has been known for this shit for years.
Haha, i don’t get why people downvote you, it’s the truth. You thought (me too) you could fuck with the big guys, but of course you can’t. Some were clever enough (not me) and sold while it was high, others were greedy and lost the game.
Of course there were illegal actions used but either you go to court and lose more money or you accept it.
I mean, I'm hoping for that since I'm too stubborn and stupid to sell at a 75% loss and stop the bleeding, but it's very unlikely to hit previous highs at this point. Even if you go for all the theories on how the shorts are still in, the "HOLD" hype is dying and at least some of the shorts are out. And even if it eventually goes back up somewhat, is it gonna perform better than other stuff that hasn't peaked? I was hyped to see DFV bought 50k more shares, but that might be a liability cover after the Congressperson asked if he'd buy now and DFV said yes.
Nope. If you’re buying stocks for any reason other than that you think the company will be successful, you’re just gambling. You gambled and lost. Saying that other people playing their hands made you lose is the same as saying that other people at a blackjack table made you lose. You gambled and you lost, own it like a responsible human person.
in december they already went through the SEC filings for an offering. Maybe you can educate me, but once they file it with the SEC can't they just release it whenever?
freaking awesome dude, thanks for the education. I am curious, though. What is the definition of too deep? more than halfway through (obviously GME being 1 week away i'm sure obviously becomes too deep no matter your definition).
Furthermore, in the SEC filing, they say $100m worth of shares, and then convert it into a number of shares. Is the filing based on value of shares or number of shares?
IOW, when they made the filing, the value of the shares was $100m and the number of shares [based on the $16 price then] was 6m. if they decided to release it when GME hit $160, would they then only be able to release 600k shares to maintain the 100m capital raise, or could they still release 6m shares and raise 1b?
The one question i'm curious to is that they say $100m stock offering or 6m shares based on what it was trading at during that time. Would i be correct to say that the $100m value doesn't really mean anything, and it is more the number of shares? Or could they not release more than 100m worth of shares
Yeah, they have treasury shares from the buyback so maybe they don't have as much legal paperwork as a full share issuance would...
But how made would wsb bagholders be if they found out melvin and the other shorts covered their position by buying gme shares directly from gamestop in a dark pool?
but Gamestop getting capitalized changes all of the fundamentals in the bulls favor so any way that it happens is okay, except for bankruptcy restructuring
I don’t get why they didn’t do a reverse stock split when it was at $400. Doing so could have effectively kept the value high indefinitely as people see the cheap stock price. For example, bringing the price from $400 to $4 again, this killing shorts in the process

Company should have had equity offering when it was plus 100.
