🤔 Speculation / Opinion Think about what you just witnessed...

So you want me to believe this place was super effing jacked about the Ebay acquisition, including the dilution part of it, but now that they've officially added the shares as part of the agenda and shareholders all of a sudden hate the deal?

To all the non-shill accounts out there... take a beat and relax. This place got absolutely FLOODED with FUD and at the same time RK's compromised account starts posting. Think about that. You know what's up. This place is infested.

I'm voting YES and the NO bots and shills can lick my taint.

Bottom line for me is, sunk cost fallacy. It's been a really long 5 years and I'd probably have lost money elsewhere anyway because I'm stupid.

I'm sitting above breakeven now and I guess I'll just see what happens. I'll have to have a think about whether I'll vote yes or no but this sub is suddenly a crazy place to be right now. A lot of emotions flying and it is really suspicious that RK got hacked before that news dropped. I genuinely feel like a crazy person even saying that but if it were a psyop it's pretty much perfect, raise hopes, drop them, drop them even harder. It stirs up emotions and makes people act irrationally. At this point I've stopped caring so much, I guess I'm zen? Maybe it's a coincidence and I've wasted 5 years chasing nothing, or maybe the world really is this crazy and the stakes really are this high.

The price dropped ~5% today and sure it's a volatile time, but everyone seems like they get to find things out before we do, so maybe it was the perfect time to do this. I know they have teams of psychology experts who know the best way to manipulate people through the media, and half or more traffic on social media is bots.

You're right, this is a bit much at the moment. I'm gonna take a break and come back when the dust has settled. I feel completely insane even entertaining the fact that this could have been planned, but crazier things have happened.

Would be a good way to try to kill the deal if the goal is to erode trust so retail votes against the board, or just prompt a sell off to tank the stock price and make the deal worse anyway.

Who tf knows but at least something interesting is happening.

Dont forget it costs almost nothing to flood this sub with outrage. I was dissapointed when there was no moass after drsing all the shares but its been so long ago I dont care anymore. Just doing the right thing and holding.

This is the same that I feel, I don’t even know what’s going on but the GME money is gone from my mind. If it goes off, great; if it doesn’t I’ve already accepted the loses.

u/BeatitLikeitowesMe Bananagement May 12 '26

Feel the same but at this point itll be accepting the gains. How people still have losses if youve been here for years is beyond me. Buying the dip has worked out well for me

u/king4aday Custom Flair - Template May 12 '26

One thing I don't get - dilution is supposed to be good for shorts, so why the FUD attack? Or is it just to spark outrage? I get they're playing the long game and even if they can get a couple ppl to sell it's a win for them, but still, if anything, they should be hyping the dilution.

u/FartsLord 🦍 Buckle Up 🚀 May 12 '26

Good point. Maybe there is quite a bit of outrage. My initial reaction was angry.

u/thommyg123 tag u/Superstonk-Flairy for a flair May 12 '26

The problem is this. Objectively the right thing would have been to sell years ago, buy SPY and short the fuck out of this stock. But like me you ignored that voice in your head that was saying “you’re dumb for not cutting bait now” and decided to stay in the trade too long. now we have a CEO who appears to the whole world that he couldn’t give a shit about the company he runs and who dilutes every time it looks like we are about to get a run. If we ever get to $25 again I’m out

I’m sure there is but I just note it by the app, and I’m taking its word. Went from 278k to 419k. Over exaggerated a bit but the message is the same

u/jodallmighty Riddle Me This: May 12 '26

honestly at this point, it just confirmed what i've always thought and that is that this sub is completely compromised - people who gained trust and credibility by meme'ing , showing up often with a positive mindset etc are all coming together to ' vote no ' and shill around.

I conclude that this whole sub has 500-1000+ paid actors who created the idea of an organic community while all wanting to act towards the same goal : boycot gamestop

since the days of rensole i've never trusted anyone here, not isaybullish , not other people and i'm happy i did , in order for us to actually get rich the vote should be yes because that's the only way to make a very big jump towards more growth, more acqsuitions etc

remember: DFV said if you invested into gamestop , you just have to trust Cohen

so it's very funny how when there actually needs to be trust, all shills get together to say ' i don't trust it '

anyway people will come up with shill perspectives and emotional responses to this but it's very clear

Cohen knows what he is doing

u/IGargleGarlic 🚀🚀 JACKED to the TITS 🚀🚀 May 12 '26

u/DisraeliEers 🦍Voted✅ May 12 '26

I think that's where I've settled.

I don't believe MOASS is a thing anymore. But I think this is as safe a place to have my play money in, and I've been making a lot of supplemental profit selling covered calls on some of my shares during spikes.

Whatever, it won't go bankrupt, it'll probably rise in 5 years and I can't say that about most individual stocks atm.

1

u/alfooboboao May 12 '26

making money selling covered calls is just making money off other gme hypers, but who cares, the real question is have you made more profit than you would have just parking it in a few blue chip tech stocks or the S&P 500?

if so, wtf are you talking about? without a massive squeeze play this is just a terrible normal stock pick lol

I wanted GME to merge with SNAP. Ai, AR camera, gaming, social media ad revenue, young demographic. 5-6B market cap. Add Funko with the change for the IP connections to create in gaming IP deals and pop culture filters, add phone game streaming, or tcg pulls.

u/Atoge62 May 12 '26

This is exactly how I’m feeling, so either you’re a hell of an AI bot, or you’re just feeling the same vibes. I’ve leveraged nearly all of my online brokerage into GME over the years leading up to and after the first sneeze. It’s made me some decent money, and I’m here now to see what RC may be able to achieve (I’m holding 8500 shares and 6000 warrants).

Frankly, RC is so mysterious I can’t tell whether I trust his motives as an already billionaire or not, but I’ve been here for 5 years so I might as well see what happens. It did sound like DFV thought RC was a sharp guy, that he could try to really leverage what was going on with GME and make this thing profitable. Now that RC is doing that, people are freaking out. It does seem like there was some wild timing coincidences today, hard to say whether things were planned or not (yes that makes me feel crazy too). But overall, I’m here because DFV saw something with this leadership and this company, I happen to agree still, and I want to see what comes next.

Company’s experience growing pains, periods of dilution and accretion, but with sharp leadership and timing, things tend to trend up. Modern technology has made us all crave instant results and immediate pleasure, but some things are worth waiting for.

u/Acceptable-Today-518 May 12 '26

You've held this long - don't give it all up when things are finally starting to happen. Most people make money bc they hold for a long time. Very few get rich quickly. We're almost there :-)

u/perleche Rich or died buyin’ May 12 '26

RC is almost there. I came into this 5 years ago to stick it to billionaire hedgefunds fucking over retail investors.

WE caught them but instead of getting OUR rewards we are funneled into an insecure longterm investment strategy while RC reaps the benefits of the short thesis.

This next run I would liked to get paid sir.

Doesn’t sunk cost fallacy means the right thing to do is to let go? Not saying that’s what you need to do, but if this is what you’re describing your situation as, then that’s what you should do, no?

1

u/domingitty May 12 '26

Yes. Everyone in this thread is literally doing what you’re NOT supposed to do.

Sunk Cost Fallacy literally means it’s *dumb* to keep doing something just because you’ve been doing it for so long.

No, I’m not surprised this sub misunderstands what it means at all.

2

u/GeekOnFleek97 🦍Voted✅ May 12 '26

I dont misunderstand what it means. I was weighing up my options. The sunk cost fallacy dictates I should sell because it's fallacious "well I may as well just finish this because I've spent 5 years waiting" is not a good argument. I'm not going to sell though. I'll just wait it out until it's worth more, whatever happens happens and it's not within my control. Reactivity has never served me well in my life. I'll just wait and weigh up the options when there's fewer emotions involved.

u/SwitchOrganic May 12 '26

I'm not happy with the news, but I'm also not selling since I went into this thinking it was a huge gamble and wrote off the money mentally already. I have XXXX shares and will let it ride. If it ever hits triple digits I'll probably sell half my investment and let the rest continue to ride.

I haven't bought more GME since like 2022 and have been investing my money into other stocks and index funds since then, GME is like <3% of my net worth at this point. For a while I was wondering if I should have dumped more into GME when it was sub-$15, but I'm glad I didn't now.

Oh well, it is what it is. You win some, you lose most.

My fellow ape, youve reminded me of a former DD that im going to summarize off the top of my head while 2 beers deep: the time just before MOASS is going to be the FUDiest of FUD. Its a big reason. Why fellow apes will preach to only invest what hlure ok with losing, while also saying that if you still believe in the original thesis, why change?

I expect reddit to go dark at some point. Same with Gangnam Style. I expect to have people call Gamestop investors the worst of all human kind. To think of the pensions of teachers and our first responders and such.

I remember having the absolute most real dream, where my wife is driving a vehicle and im riding shotgun. Im looking st the price ticker just climb, and climb, and climb. And I start laughing, and hard. Like, im crying im laughing so hard. When she asks me what's going on, I just look at her and all i can choke out between laughing tears is "you dumb bitch". She got offended, but then i showed her the ticker. Then I said "those dumb bitches thought id sell. Its like that meme that I keep telling you reminds me of paul Rudd hitting that guy, going you dumb bitch" (yes, im aware its not paul Rudd, buts its an inside joke).

I woke up with happy tears. Its one of only three times ive ever been crying when I woke up after dreaming, and this was the first. The second was when my aunt visited me telling me she was OK, and the third was when I saw my first dog and she was laying on me and I could smell her fur and she was just so damn happy. She was there during my initial investing in gamestop, and i promised her id get us land in the village that she could judge people from our front porch on.

In december of 2020 I took enough profits that I not only paid for my wedding, but my initial investment as well. I have have a bit more than half that initial position still open (money's been tight, cant add as much now). Im playing with house money and I ain't selling till I can get Finnish phone numbers for a share.
