Nostalgia for a GameStop that never existed.

What if that store I loved as a kid, but redesigned for 40 year old men, a hip gastropub with a bouncer and the high end merchandise I can afford now and video gaming areas

It basically did exist, for a handful of years. Excepting the bouncer and bar food (what?!) he's describing a Media Play.

the husk of bbby destroys the stock market

quote:

Another late night, another musing about bbbyq.

Here's a random thought... Many Chinese businesses have used reverse mergers to get listed on the stock market. A great documentary called the China hussle about fraudulent Chinese companies on Netflix discussed this topic.

Let's assume Ryan Cohen is involved. Whatever is going on, he's part of it.

Does Ryan have friends in China? Like... He has a whole book about China. Is he connected to a business in China and together they'll launch something big? So previously we thought Carl Icahn could use Bobby for retail space for his textiles. Does Ryan have friends in China that do textiles?

Anyways... my midnight musings isn't about that....

My real midnight musings are about... the husk. What's left of Bobby.

Today something happened. We know that someone has a plan. They didn't want to wait two weeks. We don't know if or when it went into effect. Or will go into effect.

We do know that buybuybaby will be launching or relaunching soon. If linked to this, then buybuybaby was holding out for this moment.

If bbbyq becomes buybuybaby... and that $1.5b debt is actually a bond takeover... then bbbyq becomes bbby and without the bad management of Sue Give, Mark Triton... operates as a cash flow positive billion dollar business.

Dream on me owns the IP. Probably runs bbby moving forward. But bbby is owned by Ryan Cohen. Maybe that's part of some deal. "I want to profit, but don't care for the day to day".

So he invests, turns the business around using people in the industry that have experience. What's in it for them? They own the name. Dream on me is not a household name. Absorbing the brand could benefit them.

Why would Ryan Cohen and dream on me need each other?

I think I'm on the wrong trail.

So back to the husk...

Dream on me is going to do an overstock. Overstock took Bobby.

Someone sees a path to profitability in the husk. What are we missing?

Is there value in the stock because of NOLs and possible synthetic shorts?

I'm starting to wonder... why not chapter 7? What is left?

And then why the rush to skip 14 days of waiting?

I don't know how this will unfold. But if bbby is buybuybaby... we're all going to get rich real fast... then shorts can't cover. Then a MOASS.

Like... if a news report comes out and says, "So it turns out Ryan Cohen has struck an agreement with dream on me to take over buybuybaby and list it back on the stock market..."

That's a stock going to $100+ very fast. No debt - Ryan used that position to take ownership of bbby through a wacky mechanism. Short sellers get margin called for not closing their positions and unintentionally holding a short position in a now debt free business...

This is entirely speculation...

I don't understand otherwise what the value in the husk is...

... is this how one spins off a company like buybuybaby?

Bedtime

Edit:

I think we are now shareholders of Buybuybaby.

Ryan Cohen is majority shareholder, dream on me is now management.

Dream on me benefits by becoming a big player - arguably the biggest. Ryan benefits by investing in a company that has the potential to return big money and even MOASS.

Short sellers get raped. Bobby goes to stupid high numbers. We see Archegos 2.0 happen. Hedge funds getting severely margin called. Liquidation of assets. This leads to a massive stock market sell off. Huge market crash. Guess what? Ryan Cohen reinvests in great companies at clearance sale prices.

... I think we are going to the moon... Feeling confident

Did anyone watch the show "Sanctuary" about the Sumo wrestlers? There was a scene where a rich cryptobro gets the poo poo slapped out of him by a sumo wrestler and pisses his pants infront of a bunch of pretty women, because he brattily claims he owns the wrestler and tries to force him to drink

It is pretty great how most of these posts have some sort of line where they say "it doesn't make any sense for this stock to have any value" but they view that thought as just a temporary mental obstacle.

this guy just cant stop talkin about crimes

new york times posted:

At the end of a 15,000-word Twitter thread he never posted, Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, offered a blunt assessment of his predicament.

“I’m broke and wearing an ankle monitor and one of the most hated people in the world,” he wrote. “There will probably never be anything I can do to make my lifetime impact net positive.”

He added: “And the truth is that I did what I thought was right.”

After Mr. Bankman-Fried was arrested, charged with fraud over FTX’s collapse and placed in home detention in December, he wrote hundreds of pages of sometimes rambling self-justifications, ranging from childhood memories to mathematical calculations.

In a draft of his unsent posts, which he formatted as a series of tweets spanning roughly 70 typed pages

I love that guy with the signature blue boxes.

Once he actually made a post with a somewhat more realistic and negative view on BBBY. Of course he got dogpiled hard, people speculated that the hedge funds had got to him. Maybe he's been an undercover shill all along?

The cult defense mechanism worked perfectly, so now he's back to posting the most tenous bullish garbage possible. And people love him for it.

that's something about the cult that people don't usually mention, they genuinely think that the hedge funds are trying to run reddit psy ops to stop the short squeeze and that the fate of the economy is in the hands of people drsing shares
