GameStop announces plans to sell off French and Canadian outlets, while its CEO yells about 'Wokeness and DEI' in bizarre, self-defeating promotion

what an odd thing to say for a company that employs millions of minorities. sold my stock and wont be supporting chewy eitherOh god what did Chewy do?

>they’re claiming 4 billion cash on hand If that's a lie then they will get absolutely wrecked by the authorities since they're a publicly traded company.Yeah, about the ”authorities”….
-
>They don’t sell a lot of video games Wait, y'all *buy* them? [AwkwardMonkey.jpg]I'm at 200+ owned on GOG here, takes a lot less physical space than all those GME disks I used to pick up.

I assumed it'd be good for them in some way if I sold (I don't understand stocks). If it sucks for them even a little I'm selling.You're just selling to some roaringkitty fanboy the actual company couldn't care less. If you're in a 350 you may as well hold it on the off chance something weird happens and you could break even. Or, you can sell at a loss for the tax benefit, but that only applies if you have capital gains to use it against. So if you find one year you make some money off some other stock that would be a good time to sell the GME at a loss.

Oh yeah the trading card business too, plus all the homewares now. Currently eating dumplings out of a pokemon licenced bowl manufactured by gamestopGood luck man. What happened last time they got a huge influx of cash from retail traders? From what I read they wasted it in NFTs. Now they're wasting it on trading cards. The company is floundering. Surviving purely from generational nostalgia at this point. When that runs out the rug will be pulled.

The ultimate reason that stocks go down is because people sell.

Whelp time to cancel my GameStop runs. I don't support chudsCan't cancel what I never did. GameStop routinely has terrible prices, poor selection (in my area), and mediocre service. I buy most of my used games from eBay, and most of my new games from Target (when on sale). Screw GameStop...

He just needs to stop, Trumps bro-circle jerk is already full.I hear they're moving to a bigger venue.

DEI is some zealous American Puritanism which has no relevance in France, so I’m confused how he made the connection?I doubt it's related: > The reality is that the physical side of GameStop's business has been in steady decline for a while. In 2019, GameStop closed around 200 stores in an attempt to "reboot" the company. GameStop's fortunes briefly rose due to its 2021 stock surge, but shares quickly plummeted following that initial spike. They're probably just not making a profit anymore in those regions, so they're closing up shop, and the CEO took the opportunity to go on a largely unrelated rant.

Who the hell would be interested ?For a good price, who wouldn't? That's a _lot_ of real estate.

Let me tell you a story... I sold off all my Bitcoin and put it all into GME stock right when it was starting to go up... It wasn't much like it was worth 1000 bucks or something... And then Bitcoin went from 30k to 60k in like two months... And now it's closer to 100k Long story short I make bad choices and no fuckin way I'm selling my GME for a loss just for it to double or triple again in two months> just for it to double or triple again Wow, talk about sunk cost fallacy...

I think people underestimate the mental health benefits of never thinking about whether number you can’t control or predict go up or down.Yup. I buy broad index funds, and the only time I need to think about it is when I do my taxes. I check more often, but more out of curiosity than anything (I like seeing line go up).

I have some bad news about farmers for you...The elites don't want you to know this, but you can grow your own plants

I'm glad some people understand beyond the headlines, I think NFTs could be really neat as a way to have some sort of in-game item or w/e, fully transferable and all that
️ Especially since most nfts I'm aware of are on the ethererum blockchain, which now uses orders of magnitude less electricity from the switch off of PoW
Exactly! It would even be cool to have common ownership _between_ games, like if I bought a license for a cool skin and the dev/modder made the skin compatible with a bunch of other games. The game would just check if I own that particular IP, and the load the appropriate data that corresponds to in the game. It would also be cool to buy and sell houses w/o having to go through a title company ($$$). If deeds were on a blockchain, the state could just look up ownership info and bill whoever the current owner is when tax season rolls around. There are already mechanisms for managing liens and whatnot (smart contracts), so I could completely skip the corrupt financial industry. The same is true for a ton of other things. NFTs could be an _amazing_ technology to simplify a ton of real life things. As long as people agree to a given blockchain, transactions would be incredibly straightforward. But no, scammers had to go and mismarket it, rich people had to use it for money laundering, and governments had to go on attack mode. This is why we can't have nice things. -
> just for it to double or triple again Wow, talk about sunk cost fallacy...Nah my initial investment wasn't nearly as much in Bitcoin...

Nah my initial investment wasn't nearly as much in Bitcoin...The amount of the investment is irrelevant, what's important is the expected future return. Do you _expect_ GME to increase faster than other options in some time frame? If not, sell it and invest in something with a higher expected return. Likewise for Bitcoin. Whether something is currently up or down is irrelevant, as is the amount of your investment. The only relevant detail is the expected return and risk (variation) in the investment. Anything else is just gambling.

What do you mean unproven social media claims? the $4 billion in cash is in their quarterly earnings: https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/static-files/2c1eac18-9f79-41b9-9e56-a8db8fe7aac4 Pretty easy to verify yourself.

Their stock price jumped *before* the quarterly earnings was announced. It has nothing to do with it, nor any of their fundamentals Also notice: Cash flow is neutral or negative and has been for a while now. Revenue peaked in 2018 is now less than 62% of that peak. Revenue per quarter is also down 11% year over year. Company lost 34 million dollars last quarter, and has not had a positive operating income since feb 2018. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/watchlist?tab=Related&id=a1tyxm&duration=1Y&src=b_fingraph&relatedQuoteId=a1tyxm&relatedSource=MlAl&l3=L3_Financials
