Isn't it funny how XRT gets shorted like 1000%, and then the moment the shares actually get redemptioned, stuff like Kohls short squeezes 100% back to the "real" price without counterfeit shares? Along with Gamestop, and many others? XRT is passing the peak of the "print counterfeit shares" cycle

I'm going to be really straightforward here - if you believe hyperinflation is pretty much inevitable now, you should probably take out massive loans at the lowest fixed rates you can. It is, if well-managed, pretty much free money as your interest rate gets inflated away. Avoid variable rates.

A LOT of people in the tcg community are upset about dramatically increasing wait times for PSA submissions... Which.. does suck. I'm waiting on some myself. However, I do think people are sleeping on the fact that a company as large as PSA is currently truly drowning in Gamestop-received orders.

Please dear God let Gamestop buy eBay because I would love to be able to just drop off $4,000 of cards at a Gamestop and pay them a 20% fee on the proceeds to sell it all for me. I ain't got time to go to USPS everytime someone buys a $4 card.

mfer blocked me for calling out his dogshit article lol

Just a reminder that XRT, the primary retail sectir ETF, is over 400% short interest today, and the entire structure of the ETF is fraudulent as hell to enable to mass production of counterfeit phantom shares in underlying companies to short them into oblivion. Anyways it's none of my business.

The AI hyperscaler rush is really a tragedy of the commons. If they all spend a trillion dollars to be the best, nobody is the best, and everyone just wasted a trillion dollars.

I just know there is some degenerate out there using powerpacks as a chaotic full-time cash advance service, considering they let you purchase with credit card, and immediately cash out to a bank payment in cash lmao. Do you want a 5% cash advance fee or a random fee between 50% and -200% 🤣

Holy shit haha

I grew up largely on Long Island, and I know a thing or two about vapid people. Erika Kirk is like the combination of every fake long island beach girl mannerism I ever encountered combined lol.

People say history will remember Elon Musk poorly, but I'm not convinced. Thomas Edison was a TOTAL piece of shit and we still tell 8 year old kids how awesome and cool he was in like every elementary school in America. Winners write history. It's that simple. Elon has been our generation's winner

It's crazy how awful and unethical devil corp is and how they kind of just exist in every single large retail store and everyone is fine with it. I'm sorry, but you work for a pyramid scheme that has probably rebranded 15 times in the past year because it is fundamentally illegal, yet here we are.

LMFAO at "meme premium" Is this meme premium in the room with us right now? What does this even mean? How does one even quantify whether a "meme premium" exists? How do you know it isn't offset by a "meme hate" discount?

Fuck it, we ball, I found some spare change I won't miss cause I forgot I had. Thank you haters for giving me no shortage of opportunities to keep hoarding at these prices all year.

Despite significant intervention, the Yen continues to spiral into historic weakness, indicating that the BoJ will be forced to take an extremely aggressive approach to save their economy before it is too late. The Yen carryer's worst nightmare is quickly unfolding. Japan cannot sustain their gainz

I respect that Ryan Cohen recognizes that college is often a bunch of bullshit that reinforces the status quo and limits creativity and unique vision - but I also think he believes Trump is doing a good job because he didn't go to college. Not a flex. That shit is a double edge sword, let's be real

MoM retail sales data today is fascinating. This will be a few parts. Historically, retail sales ALWAYS fall hard in January after the holidays, so you see a -1% MoM or something, and this usually extends even deeper into Feb, before recovering in March. This os why business are "cyclical."

On June 9th, Gamestop will likely be worth less than the cash on hand. Because everyone knows money actually starts being less useful when you have many billions of them. Or something. 🤣 Anyways fuk shorts I'm buying more next week, this is the wey.

Folks, do NOT put your rent money in stocks, especially in a highly manipulated stock lol. Stocks go up, stocks go down. Maybe this month, maybe next year, maybe in 2 years. Nobody has a crystal ball and market makers have the world's best algorithms. If you are going to miss the $, don't use it. 😭

I love how Dave Ramsey is like: "Hey have you tried not maxing out 4 credit cards with no repayment plan? Have you tried not buying a $70,000 car on $35,000/year income? That might be a good idea to not do" And half the people on the show are like: "My god this genius has the wisdom of oracles."

Gamestop 2025 Q1: Revenue: $732m Operating Loss: $10m Net Income: $44m Cash on hand: $6.4b Market valuation: $12.4b Posting for future reference.

Japanese bond yields are closing in to USD ones... Quickly. There is very little spread to profit from... soon the Yen carryers will be LOSING money everyday they keep those trades open...

For my next trick, I'm going to dump all the retail companies to hilariously low valuations, so that I can scoop up a shit ton of shares with crazy high dividends right before the normies find out they are all getting $500 million tariff refund checks this quarter. - Wall Street, I'm pretty sure

Just saying

That Ryan Cohen interview today gave me... confidence. He knows wtf he is doing. I'm gonna let him cook. That was my plan anyways, but I have a feeling whatever he is cooking will impress me enough between now and June 12th to vote yes on everything pretty confidently, hopefully. We'll see.

I see more opportunity, and less risk, in retail stocks today, than any other industry. While tech is at all kinda of crazy valuations and 20 year assumptions, retail company values are like: "well, if they go under and sell their shit at a kind of fair price, you get double your money back."

Wild that Nvidia, a company that sells chips the average person barely uses, is basically worth more than the entire defensive consumer sector combined - a sector named this, because it means: "society will collapse and everyone will literally quickly die without these companies."

Ozempic has proved that most of the "body positivity" people of the late 2010's wanted to have a healthy shape all along, they just didn't want to make the effort to get there, and calling everyone else a phobe was easier. I'm gonna hurt some feelings on bluesky with this one but whatever.

My problem with this lies in the "illustrative value at a 25x P/E" Yeah dog, if you think Wall Street is going to let any iteration of Gamestop trade at that P/E, you aren't paying attention. We would be lucky to trade at 5-10 P/E and "way too much debt" would be the MSM narrative. so, ~$15/share.

I would honestly love it if Gamestop gave short sellers a taste of their own medicine, bought a huge derivative stake in ebay, didn't report it properly, and then just took over eBay and paid the little million dollar fine or whatever for breaking every SEC rule. I mean they do it to us so fuck it.

People act like Gamestop doesn't have leverage on eBay right now like the fact PSA sits on the board as well and have ~750,000 products listed on eBay at ant given second lmao. Honestly if eBay wanted things to be truly hostile, Gamestop x PSA smubbing them *could* be an enormous crisis for them.

This is some crazy shit and the video is fucking crazier shit. This object is... unsettling. Biblically accurate angelic figure for real. I have so many questions. in.mashable.com/science/1096...

Whoever had dry powder prepared for last night's $21.50 Gamestop shares, I salute you lol.

Gamestop news aside, retail is getting fucking hammered this week

Inflation figures came out today. Y/Y is awful, holy shit. We officially have not had inflation this bad since the covid reaction.

I would love for somebody to be able to explain this, Roaring Kitty being hacked within 2-3 minutes of Gamestop announcing a share offering vote for eBay... The fuckery is insane but I'm clueless how to explain any of this. Pretending this isn't all insane is the incorrect take though.

I'm heavily convinced in my theory that powerpacks is set up to pay out annually and we are about to see a full year of it hit Gamestop's Q1... I don't think Cohen is an idiot enough to not understand how this looks. Something insane has to happen in the next 30 days for the votes to be safely..

So here's my approach. I will be writing to the board of directors to clearly explain how this large of a dilution + CEO package benefits me more than just voting "no" and letting Gamestop doing a phenomenal turnaround make my investment grow. If I don't get a response, I'm probably voting no.

Gamestop shares down 12% today lmfao fucking yikes. Welp, it's basically at floor value now. I'm also... Not particularly happy though, Cohen's interests here are not "aligned" with shareholders if all votes are yes, imo. Everything could change with Q1 but the crash is warranted honestly.

Gamestop warrants definitely seem to be heading back to $3 on this news probably lol, glad I secured most of my profits from the run on those but I'm hesitant to buy back in even after a 10% drop on them today. There's just so many unknowns with the warrants now.

I don't like Gamestop requesting power to dilute with 2.5 billion shares lol. If it was an increase of 1 billion I would vote yes if it meant an eBay merger succeeding. I'm not sold on 2.5 billion lol. I'll have to think about this and do a bunch of annoying math of where that could put me.

I sent this on 1/16/25... Almost a year and a half ago. This thesis seems to have been... Pretty accurate so far lol.

Inflation rate metrics tomorrow might be fun lol. As in, I'm not expecting them to be good.

The thing that bothers me about Kohls' balance sheet is that the business is being valued more dead than alive. This would make sense if it was a business sitting on billions of real estate but bleeding out cash. But they aren't unprofitable... at all, which makes that narrative utterly ridiculous.

Let me just say, that if I was some fuckhead on Wall Street snorting cocaine off hooker buttcracks, Kohl's is the exact kind of business I would want to short into acquisition/takeover range so I could stripmine their assets and turn their real estate into data center bullshit for my AI circlejerk.

I just finally bit the bullet and began a 500 share position in Kohl's today. The market is fucking rigged and this business is basically a 2019 version of Gamestop.... It is perfectly fine, wildly undervalued, and has good prospects, but market makers are just... bending it over with short activity

The SEC proposing to allow companies to stop doing quarterly reports is fucking ridiculous, and Cohen is an idiot for agreeing with it lol. Yes, you save money on annoying busywork, but at what cost? The markets will become so fucking volatile they will become nearly uninvestible.

FOX isn't actually worth *that* much, and it would be hilarious if retail actually bought enough shares of it to vote Murdoch out of his ownership control. That would be nearly impossible, but it would be hilarious.

I have a handful of pokemon and star wars unlimited cards that could pay off my car and I find that hilarious that we are at the point as a society where there are just some people with millions of dollars and such immense boredom that my shiny cardboard is worth more than my ability to be sentient.

It costs $120 to play this in your deck, jeez. I guess I'll find a late-game delay card alternative lmao.
