The old guy sucked from the different comments I heard. He wasn't a gamer. He wasn't invested in the company. Ryan Cohen is putting his team in place in an attempt to repeat what they did at Chewy.com. I don't think this company needs to issue a bunch more stock. They need a new vision and the team to implement it. 

So I’m a customer at Chewy. I have two dogs, both old, and I have autoship set up for food and meds.

Tell me how this recurring revenue is going to be duplicated at Gamestop.

Trying to time bottoms is very hard. If you believe in the company long term I feel this price is a very strong entry point long term. Set it and forget for a while. When it doubles....take your

I will make a wager. If this stock hits $420.69 before this earnings call on March 31st, I will pass out 100 FBG subscriptions to the gents in the stock thread.

I think the old head honcho was let go because he didnt sell more shares to the public while the price is high.  I think chewy guy may turn it around.  but im not taking this ride.

I assume they will sell approx 1 trillion shares at the current price because why wouldnt you?????

I don't think they will issue more stock now. Right now they have the biggest cheerleader on the planet (WSB). Issuing more stock crushes your biggest supporters at a time when you could use them staying relevent. 

I think the next steps are:

1. Call back the shares for key votes for the upcoming shareholder meeting. This stops all of the shorting games. The fact that an ETF with Gamestop in it has 200+% short interest is just insanity.

2. Announce a new vision/future, complete with new people ready to execute.

3. Fair price on the stock could easily be $100/share if they do these two things above. 

4. Only after they get proper stock price, they issue more shares to fund the vision.

I don’t think so. I have no idea what it’ll do short term but this thing ballooned on a USPS contract they didn’t actually get. Doesn’t seem investable IMO but I’m sure there’s trading opportunities here.

They have not released their vision so I would be guessing at what Ryan Cohen is planning. I believe in his ability to craft a team to win the gaming community. I think their 55 million user database is worth more than the current valuation. For me it's that simple. Once they release their vision, it will get properly evaluated. If it's dumb, the stock tanks. If it's brilliant, most will still wait for execution. As others have stated, Amazon could crush them, etc. 

But no one literally has a read on what Ryan Cohen is doing, but he now has a lot of GME (15% and counting I believe). I believe in Ryan Cohen. That's all I have. Well that and diamond hands.

I mean, I can be a starting linebacker for the Bucs (lol no I can’t) but it doesn’t mean I will be. Have they shown any indication any of that stuff is imminent. Why would anybody use them for twitch stuff when they can just use twitch?

GME already has deals in place for revenue sharing on online content.  Their online margins are probably a lot better considering how little overhead they require.

 

I don't own any shares and won't be owning any for the foreseeable future, but I do believe there is a path to success here.

How about this for a GME business model ...

A streaming game service with all your favorite games ...

but also EXCLUSIVE games that you can only play with a subscription to their service.

Could you imagine if GME held the rights to the next Call of Duty or Fortnight?

How many subscriptions would they have then?

No need to own the games or have enough storage to hold the games ... just like we no longer own movies.

Gamestop would be the Netflix of the gaming world

I’ve written this before but I don’t believe this is possible. The platforms themselves sell their own exclusives and all the major publishers have their own desktop clients. GameStop would have to buy a major publisher or two in order to compete with exclusives. I don’t see it happening.

Games going download doesn't help, sure, but people still need to buy controllers and accessories. Unless the counterargument is "you can buy those online too", then, yeah, sure, but why stop at GME then? You could say "every store has no real reason to exist anymore" in that case.

I can get the controller at Target or Walmart instead while I’m also getting eggs and sweatpants. (I like to try on my sweatpants before I buy them)

The idea that Gamestop just needs to retool and relaunch as something new seems alot like 

1. Take underpants 

2. ??

3. Profit

Sure, they have a database of customers, but it's largely outdated, and Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Twitch, EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar etc, all have better current lists and direct daily relationships with their customers.

Looking at everything tonight, but wanted to overhaul my portfolio. Tech looks playable for the first time in months hence my QQQ purchase.   I'm also looking at energy, crypto, back to normal/reopening and fintech.

:thumbup: I started a TQQQ position yesterday and added more this morning.

IIRC, that revenue sharing model was actually terrible for them. It was a tiny slice (and only on consoles they sold) but they agreed to buy a bunch of hardware and services from Microsoft to even get it. I remember reading it was going to be profitable for Microsoft, not GameStop.

People still wear underwear? I guess my quarantine has been more exciting than most. 

See, even the underwear part of Gamestock's business model is outdated.

It was. They never announced the deal and the partnership was a lame (IMHO) attempt to make it look like more than just a company buying stuff from Microsoft. They never announced anything but it was clear that the PR was misleading. There were actually rumors that they had the same deal with Sony but I don’t believe any proof was ever provided. GameStop has been closing stores and losing traffic so why give a slice to a retailer that’s no different to Target and Walmart. The only reason why there was a rush to GameStop for PS5s us because they were sold out everywhere.

Really mad at myself after watching UVXY squeeze up to about a 5% profit yesterday morning, and not hitting the Eject button.

(Again, the real problem is I bought half of this position too early.)

Same here.  Trying to get an extra point is going to cost me points or keep me in longer.

anyone else adding more FLGT? it's approaching 110. I got in at 150, but I'm not sure 110 is where it stops...

I haven't added any.  Some of these recent adds have done nothing but drop.

DM and AGTC down over 15% for me.

Hopefully you held AGTC, up over 10% today

I don't think we'd be as disappointed if TVIX were still alive.  VIX up 6, UVXY up <3.  It's a half leverage, not 1.5.  

VIX not up 6 anymore.  That changed quick
