So how many shares are you stuck with?...and where did you buy them at?
I am near 200 shares and I am within $5 of the current price, but it changes daily. For example the value today went up 5%. If I went over my options contracts with you for the past 2 years I imagine I would be about $3000.00 in the positive, but I don't bid on this as often as I should or used to. I'm not some super pro trader, I started during Covid and have made decent money on a few other weird one off companies such as NIO (bought at $18, sold at $55). Gamestop is still a great play, my opinion hasn't changed. If you guys don't understand why the price is as low as it is now, it's because the board of directors issued a stock dividend, which 4x'd your shares. Meaning if you had 20, you now have 80, the value of course was divided but remained the same over the total share count.
Not sure how much you pay attention to the economy either, but at least 3 more small banks started trending towards failure this week.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/05/05/nrlb-m05.html Which, to be a conspiracy theorist, supports the same "conspiracy" that has been openly discussed regarding Gamestop since at least January of 2021.
In January 2021, GameStop's stock price skyrocketed. Investors noticed that several hedge funds had taken large short positions on GameStop's stock, betting the company would go bankrupt. The naked short theory posits that some financial institutions, including
banks and hedge funds, were involved in naked short selling of GameStop shares. Again, the popular theory is these institutions doubled down after the surge to $400 in 2021, taking even riskier bets that Gamestop would fail.
Like I said before, Gamestop reported profits for Q4 of 2022 with a net income of 48 million, and 1.4 billion cash on hand. They started Q4 with somewhere around ~150 million in debt IIRC. This was during a really bad quarter for America, where the economy was suffering as a whole. For example, Amazon reported a net loss of 2.7 billion during the same quarter. It's safe to say Gamestop isn't going bankrupt... and while it's still only a coincidence that 7 or 8 banks have failed at this point, it's getting harder and harder to look away. Shares are $20, buy 5. Worse that could happen is you lose $100.
Lots of speculation now suggesting there will be a bailout, same as 2008.
