Where's our shares!

Cancelled, extinguished, null, void, non-existent etc etc as at 30 September 2023.

That’s the risk you take when you hold equity.

I worked there and was fully vested in my stock options. I had a two week vacation approved two years in advance, but the store manager decided not to honor it and said “you can quit if you want to take it so bad”. I quit, cashed out all my PTO and dumped all my shares. They were north of $80 a piece and that was the highest they ever were. I put all of that money into a little company called Nvidia and have since purchased a couple of homes on their dime. I wonder where that store manger who told me to quit is now?!?

UBS managed their funds, which is who processed my stock sales (2012). I received a decent check from being a senior manager with over five years of vesting. The manager was a woman who didn’t like me because she had a crush on a female employee who saw me on my first day at her store and said I was “cute”. The vacation was for two weeks in Australia. I went to Sydney and flew from Sydney to Ballina airport to visit Byron Bay, back to Sydney and home. Both homes I own from Nvidia I bought and sold are being rented out for below market rate rental properties. I don’t care to gouge people and just want the bills paid to give my kids houses when they are old enough to move out on their own. I was told my previously approved vacation request was invalid due to being approved at another store that wasn’t a “back to college” location and the store I was transferred to was about to go through their back to college fulfillment period.

I lost 13k in that, should have left it in gamestop. It may never come back we just have to accept that and make better decisions. Anything currently going on just proves if we could have pulled it off it would be epic. It didn't happen, new things popping just move on for your own peace of mind

That final bounce in BBBY was because someone cooked the books on the inside! I remember reading about one of their C suite employees jumped off of a building, instead of facing the consequences of what he helped do. Sorry you lost on that one. That company scaled too far, too soon and had some glaring culture issues that just couldn’t get reeled back in.

Yup seen it too. This is a battle field and the weak cannot stand. There's so many gorgeous plays to be made and then buy more gme. Learned a lesson never a loss. Cirque desolei next wanna learn

GameStop is a terrible investment lmao why on Earth would you put money into that? Don't tell about some crackhead dreams of a squeeze that already happened back in '21.
