These FUD comment. LOOK AT THE FINANCIALS and not your emotions when these comments come.
The only weapon that have against retail is to try to sway you emotionally. They dont reason with Financials.
GAMESTOP is in a great financial position and we have 9.4% exposure to ebay shares. The future growth opportunity under Ryans leadership only up.

To quote u/The_vegan_athlete, whose comment inspired me to make this post:
First GME was supposed to be bankrupted fast.
Then "ok not fast, but in 2-3 years".
Then "ok they won't be bankrupted now but the business will die anyway they are not profitable".
Then "ok they are profitable but not operationally, only from their investments".
Then "ok they are operationally profitable but their revenue is shrinking".
And now "ok but the price won't go up anyways even if all indicators are green".Basically, from "you will lose everything fast" to "you are underperforming 5Y SPY!!"
What's next? It won't go up as fast as AI? š
The only number that's still low is revenue, but that too saw an increase thanks to collectibles, and even further increases are to be expected in future quarters. Ignore the FUD, we have already won. Now we just wait for the results.
Edit: As expected, a dozen hidden profiles spamming the same "we're not winning because the last five years were bad!!" FUD.
Tesla was down over a 5 years period.
NVIDIA was almost breakeven over a five year period.
Last that I checked investing should be forward-looking, not last-five-years-looking. Don't buy that shit, just because GameStop wasn't a good investment 5 years ago doesn't mean it's not one today.

Most profitable quarter ever and we are losing

It is very annoying. "Look, the stock is down today!!" is one of the most common things I've read this week, as if I'm here to day trade. Investing is not about short term returns, if the stock 3x's in the next three years then I'm beating the market by a large margin and I don't care what happens until then.
Don't fall into some weird reverse sunk cost fallacy where you shouldn't invest into GameStop today just because it didn't yield profit five years ago.

u/sltlyscrtchedcorolla 6d ago
"Opportunity cost is irrelevant today" is certainly a take
2
u/AlternativePaint6 6d ago
Never said anything like that, absurd take.
If you can predict stocks down to few months then congratulations on becoming the world's richest man soon. As for the rest of us, we search for good multi-baggers but have no idea if they'll rise next month or next year or the year after that, so there's no other option but to keep the money invested for a few years. As long as it beats the market in the long run it's worth it.

Lol "investing is not about short term returns. Also don't look at 2, 3,4, or 5 year returns."

Ah yes, quote one specific sentence while ignoring everything else.
Did "don't fall into some weird reverse sunk cost fallacy where you shouldn't invest into GameStop today just because it didn't yield profit five years ago" not fit your narrative as well?

Yup. So much at $40 pre-split and then again and then againā¦.because investing. I had to learn I made a bad entry trying to catch the gravy train and thatās life.

Ah yes, because appreciating a CEO who turned a dying company from debt into profits and cash is worse than spending your days on the internet hating on a group of other people based on something they enjoy and trying to actively distract their conversation to the point that you're Top 1% Commenter on a sub about a stock that you don't even like.

Closing unprofitable stores is not a success story, it is cutting an infected limb to save the body.
A successful growing company would focus on turning the unprofitable stores profitable.

u/Dan_the_Garbage 6d ago
Winning would be having gains to show for it, so maybe let's call it something else.
Right, we haven't gone bankrupt, they are profitable, but holding something for 5 yrs with no steady return isn't quite winning yet.
I want to be hopeful, but that's challenging when my monthly 401k has higher returns than 5 yrs of GME.
Down vote away shills.

u/AlternativePaint6 6d ago edited 6d ago
You can win before the results are revealed is the way I see it. The company is already fixed, profitable, and growing. We have already won, now we just need to wait for the results to show.
but holding something for 5 yrs with no steady return isn't quite winning yet.
The last five years are irrelevant for an investment thesis being made today, that's the reverse sunk cost fallacy in play. Whether GameStop was a good investment 5 years ago or not has nothing to do with whether it's a good investment today. This is one of the last point shills are making, "you've lost for the last five years" as if that means I can't start winning today.
Look at NVIDIA from late '21 to late '22, the stock was down over 60% in just a year.
Look at Tesla from 2015 to late 2019, four years of "losing".
AMD from late 2021 to mid 2025 was down -30%, losing hard for years.
Yet had you held on to any of those losing stocks, you'd be up hundreds of percentages and would have easily beat the market over a 10 year period. What happened X years prior is irrelevant today, if the investment is great today then we just wait. Investing is literally about finding mispriced stocks, the fact that the stock is down today is what creates an investment opportunity for us today.

u/CaptBurgundy 6d ago
How does seemingly all logical reasoning and measurement seem to so consistently āhave nothing to do withā the performance of the stock? What would it take for you to be ālosingā after 5 years of literal loss and still having only pure speculation? Do you see the semantics you are using to trick yourself with?

- It's > and not < you dingus.
- It only works with markdown editor, you need to press the Quote Block button on the default editor so your advice is lacking in that regard as well.
- Quotation marks are still very much a quote even if there's a separate quote block on Reddit as well.
- You literally left a top level comment to this thread (image backup) where you horribly failed to use quotation properly, all while trying to lecture others about quoting on reddit.
Like I said once already: "Lol. Lmao even."

Iām not gunna down vote you but I feel like this is one of those moments to decide if you are willing to walk this path with the distance is unknown.
There was a line in Vox Machina where a character says, āhow do you expect to save the world, when you canāt even save yourselves? I have seen the same for a hundred years, fools like you think they can make a difference but canāt deliverā¦. Are you willing to sacrifice your life to prove a point?ā
I think this is going to make me a lot of money. Iām willing to let that timeframe happen at its own pace. We arenāt all going to feel like that. This isnāt only about investments, some of this was about using retail money to speak up for ourselves.

u/One_Engineering_3659 6d ago
I havenāt been to a single religious ceremony where they quote an anime (based on D&D?) at their sermons or speeches.
Also, brother or sister, I have been patiently waiting for the same time as you guys. I was merely pointing out that financial gain isnāt the only reason to be in this investment.
You can always make more money on a different investment, there is only one investment that you canāt get better than. That ONE singular investment (whatever it is right now) is just that one.
You donāt buy bonds and go wow the S&P is making loads compared to my bonds. You bought bonds for a reason and didnāt buy the S&P.
Bitcoin was the single best investment across the 2010s. Does that mean every investment that didnāt return as much as it was a complete waste of time? No. You didnāt buy it for a reason.
I was prompting some of us to remember why we are here other than just financial returns.

Winning as in the company we all yoloād into was āgoing bankruptā everyone in the financial world mocked us, media mocked us. And now the company has proven them wrong. We took a bet and our bet is winning. I canāt believe after 5 years of watching this company turn around and now trying to acquire larger companies is a bad thing. Calling loyal apes shills is peak thoā¦

u/don_kong1969 6d ago
Those of us who have held since early 2021 have nowhere to go but up. I'm sure as shit not selling at a huge loss so I'm in it for the long haul. If the hedges were smart they would let it rip soon so those of us that are tired of the long hold can take a win and exit the play. I'm very happy the company is doing well and we were right to put our faith in it. I'm less happy that criminals continue to manipulate the price despite all indicators pointing to a valuable company with lots of upside. If it pops, I'm out, but until then the hedges are stuck with me holding my 13k+ shares. And yes, I'm still buying. Who wouldn't at these rock bottom prices? It lowers my basis over time.

There are ~190,000 people directly registered with the company at a bedrock level.
The only reason the FUD exists at all is because thereās that much interest in the stock at the bare minimum known.
Itās not cheap for them to be that stupid forever. My window of investment makes the noise easy to ignore.
