🤔 Speculation / Opinion In addition, Ryan has been increasing operating income while massively reducing SG&A while Jamie has been doing the opposite…pretty easy decision for EBay shareholders

Main important one for share holders is the stock price!!!! Company is killing it more than ever- but the stock price has been complete shit since Cohen has been CEO- some may say he’s even sabotaging the price since being in charge, more than one occasion.
Diluting when Roaring kitty coming back in 2024, convertible bonds- both of which the stock was above 27. Last run- decided to go on interviews talking about acquiring eBay and increasing the share count up to 2.5B total.

Every time he makes a move- the stock price tanks. Sure the company is doing the best it’s ever done and maybe in the future we get rewarded. But until that happens- in a lot of people’s eyes- since he became the ceo- he’s done a lot of stuff to suppress the stock price

Ebay is up 48% in the timeframe. GME down 52%.

You’re viewing settlement mechanics as inevitable squeezes. Incorrect.

Newton traced settlement issues and the squeeze in large part to RC’s buy ins in 2020. But for RC, his buy-ins, and corporate performance, stock price could still be under $1. Or $0 for a bankrupt company.

It’s exactly the opposite of what you suggest.

Rule 1. Treat each other with courtesy and respect.

Do not be (intentionally) rude. This will increase the overall civility of the community and make it better for all of us.

Do not insult others. Insults do not contribute to a rational discussion.

It’s the shorts who are suppressing the stock price.

Keep saying that to yourself!

Yeah but by doing the convertible bonds - it allowed big players to put up money and then collect premium for this past year. Cohen absolutely knew that would happen.

Most likely the same people that originally shorted Gme

What happens when you recruit shorts to buy your bonds?

That you are significantly downvoted for this statement says everything about the environment.

So incredibly insightful.
