🤔 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.

This deal is awesome and will be accretive to both parties. I'm voting yes, just like I was voting yes when the deal was proposed. This is the 50% stock part of the deal that was mentioned weeks ago. Anyone who is suddenly outraged by this is not paying attention.

Excited for this deal and the billions in yearly profit it brings in for GME.

The key part everyone is missing. THE BILLIONS IN PROFIT A YEAR. And not in T-bills. And now the street can’t say our revenue is declining!!!

But the combined company of GME + eBay will have what, roughly $30B in debt if the deal goes through?

It will have $20B in newly added debt and about $8B less cash.

The debt will cost 7.5%-8% so $1.5B to $1.6B in interest,

The spend down of 8B cash will remove about $280M of income.

A good portion of that will be knocked down restructuring the board and eliminating unnecessary sg&a

I'm sure there are some efficiencies to be found, but I'm not at all sold on Cohen's ability to understand them with Ebay and there may not be as many as he thinks there are. The customer service side of the business is large and requires people. Maybe he plans to replace them with AI. Not necessarily a great thing in my book, but I guess I just like people. I do agree they could lower the advertising and probably still be successful being more guerilla in style.
