I've only been very loosely following the BBBY stuff recently and I still have no idea who Ryan Cohen is or why his Tweets matter so much to the BBBY holders. I will occasionally peek in to see what they are discussing and it's always "tomorrow is the reckoning!" with someones 1000+ word prediction on why the price is about to skyrocket, it of course never happens and the big reckoning never comes so I similarly look forward to reading about how it's all about to turn around 2 weeks from now.

Ryan Cohen is going to buy all the dead companies that you, personally, bought and held stock in, and will merge them all together in to a Bed Bath and Beyond, Gamestop, Blockbuster blob that will fight and defeat Amazon!

This is not an exaggeration either, they literally believe this poo poo: quote:I'm cherishing my last days as a poor. It's truly inspiring to think about. I'll either be massively wealthy which would be nice, or I lose some money... either way, I've made loads of friends that have similar views as me and that's priceless. I'm already wondering what we'll invest in next after BBBYQ and GameStop.

Popete posted:I've only been very loosely following the BBBY stuff recently and I still have no idea who Ryan Cohen is or why his Tweets matter so much to the BBBY holders. Cohen is a retired CEO and activist investor, and currently the effective owner of GameStop -- he's the chairman of its board, and their largest individual investor (he owns 13% of the company). He also memes a lot on Twitter. So, of course, the apes think he's One of Them. They insist that if he comes in like Gandalf at the last hour and gets involved in BBBY's operations, the company will immediately turn around, a short squeeze will occur just like it did to Gamestop, and the apes will instantly become rich as a reward for their faith. Of course, in practice: * Most of the short interest in BBBY subsided when it moved to the pink sheets -- GME was still on NYSE when its squeeze happened * Cohen's hedgefund sold all of its BBBY in August * Nobody has any idea how Cohen's presence would turn BBBY around * Cohen arguably didn't turn Gamestop around, it's still dying (including its ill-fated foray into NFTs) * Even if all of the above were false, now that the markets have seen what a meme-driven short squeeze can do, they're more likely to halt trading early if it happens again. The Gamestop squeeze straight-up killed several hedge funds and briefly hosed with the metals market, the SEC expressed some displeasure, and they probably don't want a repeat. e: Forgot one other wtf, and that's the current ape obsession with DRSing their stock, out of paranoia that brokerages will prevent them from trading it when a squeeze occurs. But, if/when the squeeze happens, a DRSed stock can take several days to sell, which would be bad given that the GME squeeze reversed itself in a few days. ullerrm fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Sep 12, 2023 |

I know cults aren't a new idea, but it seems like the Internet really gave them a boost in popularity. I think it might be this stupid idea that finding a group of people who filter their thoughts to comport around a specific topic means you're finding people online who are more like-minded than you could find where you live. And then you wind up thinking the bozos in your town aren't worth talking to. This is why I'm so glad I found the GBS Buttcoin thread. cruft fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Sep 12, 2023 |

But how will any of these make me fantastically rich and prove my superiority to the jocks in high school and that girl who wouldn't be my prom date? Seriously, normal people who want to be social and make friends just loving do that. gently caress me, we're all kinda doing that right now. The community they cherish is just a bunch of internet randos poo poo posting, you don't need a messianic cult built on a retired CEO to do that. The key is that what they really want is to be proven that they're superior to everyone else, with a side of their life sucks and they want one weird trick to make it better. They just went down the hyper-capitalist path of thinking they could infinite money cheat code their way to being plutocrats. If they came from a religious background they'd be wearing tin foil hats to communicate with the space angels who are 100% going to come to earth any day now and spirit them away to a better alternate life. See also: literally every cult that ever promised its followers a perfect, wonderful, amazing future and an escape from their current lovely life if they just join the cult, aka all of them.

Look, you don't get invited to private discords where people say gm (good morning) and gn (good night) to each other for free! Seriously, that they had some people to say good morning to or to say good morning to them was listed as a positive of these bright, vibrant communities.

He's the Gamestop CEO who bought a large stake in BBBY and said some positive things about it to cause the price to spike. The second it did he sold his entire stake in the company for a fat profit. Since they require some sort of benevolent savior figure they rapidly pivoted from "he didn't actually sell" to "he sold because he's going to merge with Gamestop" to "it's part of his plan" because to admit they got taken for a ride by a guy who wanted a quick buck would kill their whole worldview. So basically Stockholm Syndrome

BBBY had a bunch of provisions that made it difficult for shareholders to sue, and the SEC objected to those provisions. Obviously, the apes got mad at the SEC for objecting, because why expect them to understand what is happening. After the judge struck down the objections, the apes started celebrating how shills were rekt.

This whole BB&B thing is amusing to me as I work for one of the major Transfer Agents/Share Registrars. In particular I'm a client manager that deals with these multinationals and their shares. The suggestion that invisible or fake shares could be used is impossible. In cases of any discrepancy the transfer agents record is deemed as the correct version. Anyone trying to add anything to the register that the transfer agent knows nothing about, cannot happen.

I think my favourite aspect is how they're convinced that once they win and all the lies and fakery is bared, they'll still get all the money they're owed because the government will have to come in and give them lambos from tax payer money.
