Flannelette posted:The only light I see for GME was the origonal plan on WSB before everything got crazy was to use the investment to transform the company into having a digital sales thing for games so it could continue to function in the future instead of just dying or turning into a zombie. They've tried that already, and with how ridiculously crowded the market is these days (I literally have 8 different launchers installed right now) and the fact tons of low-cost operations like cdkeys.com or Green Man Gaming for digital games already exist I don't see this happening. Maybe someone will buy them name off them.

lol No one believed me in WSB when I told there there would be the exact same number of bag holders and bag receivers. There were people who legitimately though that GameStop would go parabolic to $5000 a share. I got downvoted into being a collapsed comment. Greater Fool theory exemplified. I made $400 by selling a $47 strike GME put last week to some idiot.

spunkshui posted:Im very very sus at robinhood. robinhood, outside of extraordinary events like gamestop, doesn't move the market. they've got a bunch of users that do lots and lots of trades with small amounts of money. unless all their users are moving together they're just the random noise. You should be sus about robinhood, but you should be sus because they're a private VC-funded company that's gamifying trades and selling your data. You should be sus because they allow high-risk trades to inexperienced people with little money, in ways that could backfire for them. You should be sus because the old canard "if you're not paying anything, you are the product" has truth to it and your financial info is probably more important than your facebook profile. You shouldn't be sus that they're part of a conspiracy to manipulate the market, because that's crazy talk and before long you'll be adding parentheses around Soros. Robinhood may have no liquidity problems, but that doesn't mean they are ok losing any money on behalf of their users.

The solution to revive Gamestop is simple: -Start selling cigarettes, hard liquor, CBD, and lottery tickets -Let customers trade in gold, silver, or platinum jewelry and coins for store credit -The demo console is replaced with a Star Citizen kiosk where customers can purchase ships. Gamestop takes a 30% cut. -All toys and collectibles are removed from the store and sold through the new Gamestop Multi-Level-Marketing plan in randomized capsules. You just have to sell two capsules to your friends, then they sell to two friends, and eventually you get rich.

just go all out on the scumbag 21 year old market. sell vapes, pizza, fish tanks, reptiles, tribal chrome jewellery, knit beanies, fake bapestas, those t-shirts with tweetie bird dressed like Run DMC, phones with the screens already cracked, ketamine, linoleum flooring, ps2 games with no cases, couches with the legs sawed off so you sit extra low, psytrance records, ford lasers, that sort of thing.

Gamestop's real business model already is to be the only family-friendly white-suburbanite-approved pawn shop, they just need to embrace it more rather than focusing on the losing prospect of going digital

Flannelette posted:lol Close to zero value does not mean zero value. At what point do you take a stock that someone still hold and just say okay yeah this doesn’t exist any more? There’s apparently no real answer to that and right now brokers will basically have an excel sheet somewhere with a whole bunch of stocks that have *almost* no value but because of regulation you can’t just say are gone. Then every quarter or something they need to have someone call up someone else, probably like the last bankruptcy lawyer the company had and ask “hey uh did anyone do anything with this 1000 shares of stock worth 0.0001 cents? No? Aiight can you like send us a fax saying that? Cheerio”

Galewolf posted:There are two "what if's" I have in this situation I think this exemplifies why I don't both doing stuff like this. Like even in your best case scenario you're netting 8500 - taxes, I'm not saying that's not a decent amount of money, but it's not so significant that you could really say it's worth risking money in hand for. Anything I could get with a 8500 windfall I could already get with either time + budget or a small loan, whereas pissing 1400 down the drain right now feels like it would hurt a lot more, even if I don't need that money for anything other than a small safety net while beefing up longer term retirement investments.
