BBBY

CommercialOccasion72

[Overstock.com](https://Overstock.com) bought the brand name and are rebranding to the new bed bath and beyond as an online-only retailer with similar discounts and "a bigger beyond section" They have changed their website name too, although the CEO flat-out said they will not be using the BBBY ticker.

In the case of $BBBY, Bed Bath dropped as the price for Overstock (acquiring company) went up.

I got another BBBY 20% off coupon today. It's not dead yet.

SmoothConfection1115

What regard did that?! I sold my BBBY at like, 27-28 I think. YOLO at 26…there’s not much profit there to work with…

Jaguar_556

Can’t forget about the dude who leveraged his house to yolo BBBY at $26/share

Ornery_Gene7682

There was a religious guy who put over 2million into BBBY and had it go over 6 million didn’t sell and lost millions on it when it dumped last year

the_rainmaker__

we collectively made billions after BBBY went to uranus and beyond

Rooonaldooo99

It's the big guys dumping on retail. Again. Like it happened with AMC, BBBY, TUP and countless other tickers before. So yeah anyone buying now is most likely buying bags evident from that 20% drop. Like you said it's the big boys and insiders and they are using month old Reddit accounts to pump it here and other social media. Like, congratz if you bought before this run. If you are debating buying now, don't. You will be bagholding. This company went all the way from $100 to where it is now. Think about why that happened and if you want to put your hard earned cash into that.

I got a BBBY 20% off coupon today for a grand reopening.

This happened with BBBY when then went bankrupt also.

Human_Ad_7045

Many of us have been there. I bought Apple and Google many years ago and made about 25% on each selling several 100% too soon. It took till my 40's to get smarter in what I invested in and patient. I don't buy companies that aren't profitable like BBBY and I don't look for get rich quick stocks like AMC. I did lose $7,500 on PLTR, however, I bought MSFT appx 10 yrs ago at $30 and still have it. I love NASDAQ index's and companies that make products that are either life changing, life savings or products that people can't live without. I never buy retail incl HD, just don't like the sector. Slow and steady, profitable & patient win this race.

How did BBBY and Hertz turn out?

StupidDegenerate

I put in 11k @3.3 and another 23k@5.4. I’ve never been more convinced then now as i studied the play of past bankruptcy plays like REDBOX and BBBY. This is alot more left

hackers_d0zen

Lol it’s all gambling. You think performance has anything to do with anything? Check P/E ratios for the Magnificent Seven. Nvidia blows the fuck up with declining revenue and has a massive inventory glut for everything except A100’s. Also Tupperware skyrockets based on … nothing. Yellow is bankrupt? To the moon! BBBY is bankrupt? Crash and burn. Welcome to the casino, place your bets!

morg444

why did failing GME AMC BBBY go up? duh meme stocks

AllTooWell31

Some guy said he’d fuck a watermelon if BBBY hit $20 and that resonated with me.

CommercialOccasion72

"The new Bed Bath & Beyond" (overstock) CEO: We do NOT want to be a meme stock. We want to be rewarded based on our performance, so I'll tell you one ticker we WON'T be using is the BBBY" - Bloomberg Welp they're done for

Carvana and upstart will prolly trade at these levels the day they go bankrupt 😂. BBBY part 2

All in with 30k just like I did with BBBY last year ! Surely this time it will be different

Well fiddle my crickets, OSTK brought BBBY back from the dead. Let’s see how this turns out.

BBBY

MotivatedSolid

If your goal is swing trading for a quick profit then you did just that. If you were long-term holding then you did terrible. Also, good job on selling BBBY and AMC. You got out of a cult.

hi-imBen

this is the same as "short it then" for the BBBY baggies.

Altruistic-Cod-4128

Be careful, BBBY went bankrupt and those idiots are still going strong.

barkinginthestreet

A lot has to do with why the company needs to raise money or issue shares. BBBY issued a ton of stock the year before its bankruptcy because it was a badly run business. The proceeds were intended to try to fund a turnaround, or at least to make sure management kept getting paid for a while longer. That is a huge red flag. On the other hand, Berkshire Hathaway issued new shares several years ago as part of the acquisition of a railroad. The stock went up after the deal announced because investors thought the deal would boost the value of Berkshire. I don't really follow MARA, but I guess you'd have to decide whether you think the company will use the money raised more effectively than they have previously, given recent financial results.

Successful-Stomach40

Not BBBY and AMC

NightOfTheLivingHam

do the opposite unless it's a lost cause like BBBY.

GME, BBBY, ROPE (because hang yourself) shit they would probably have you all in on ENRON

JaxTaylor2

Not about milk, but… can you imagine the movement that could be made in a thinly traded commodity market if the community were to actually coalesce around it? $BBBY was child’s play. Problem is apes coalescing around anything other than a dumpster behind Wendy’s though. sigh

Rommel121

#Buying more BBBY, get in!!!!

Ornery_Gene7682

Tell that to the guy that went from 2million to 6million and lost over 2 million on BBBY for the same reason believing that RC and Deep fucking Value would ride in and save the stock and knock out the hedge funds

ayashifx55

At least it’s not as bad as PRTY and BBBY

girl_with_huge_boobs

because on numerous occasions I have 5-10x my money on the volatility that comes with the end of a company. PRTY,BBBY, REV, HRTZ, etc. And obviously everyone here enjoys throwing money away judging by all the loss porn and the fact that gambling on options isnt much better than playing slot at the casino. A computer and algo determined the price likely to make you bite and also to make sure you arent likely to come out ahead, yet people here gladly throw away their life savings on the daily. The only thing that makes options better than a slot machine is the off chance of a black swan event making the price rocket/dive. But most people here would probably be just as well off buying a stack of scratch off lottery tickets every week like all the other broke gambling addicts instead of flushing their retirement savings down the toilet.

GuiltyBee60

Calls on $BBBY??

FlatSmoke9945

Bankruptcy doesn't mean end of life for companies after BBBY filed for bankruptcy it still attracted new bagholders everyday at all time lows

FlatSmoke9945

BBBY has a long history I won't get into that but insiders do sometimes buy and sell stocks to affect market sentiment so I wouldn't rule that out and there could be many other reasons for insider activities... when CVNA was around $20 there were major insider buys then it tanked to $3.5

Ambitious-Quail-1415

Did BBBY have massive positive insider trading activity?

FlatSmoke9945

Just find a different stock I wouldn't gamble remember all the BBBY bagholders

Schubiduh

I also believe in the fundamentals, the movement and Gamestop are something like conjoined twins. Depended on one another. But let's end it here, you are right that pumpers are the worst and in my opinion stocks like BBBY are a playground for them, but I feel different about Gamestop. Best to you!

LionNo7279

Sure but he was extremely successful with Chewy and I believe the same with GameStop. It’s a legacy brand that he doesn’t have to start up from scratch so he just needs to add to what is already there. Rabid shareholder base is important but since you mentioned BBBY the board of directors was very sub par and they are going through Chapter 11 restructuring. They could re-emerge a better company with a new board, who knows. My focus in on GameStop.

LionNo7279

Why are you getting off topic? My focus is only on GME. I never once mentioned BBBY. And yes you act like their track record will remain the same. They had an old board without Ryan Cohen and a new carefully selected board with Ryan Cohen. Maybe you’ve heard of Chewy since you want to throw other stocks around. Wonder how that turned out huh?

MyNi_NotYourNi

My desires are immaterial - I'm simply going by GME's track record. Top and bottom line. Positioning. Products, Lack of successful pivots. There is nothing "thriving" about GME. Also note, BBBY and other meme stocks also had a rabid shareholder base - that is not evidence of much, other than reason getting hijacked for sentiment. Which usually doesn't end well.

OpeningAverage

around 700k - Mostly on BBBY Options. Was lucky and sold towards the middle of Jan 2021 when the original run up happened for GME

Schubiduh

Embarrassing is only your lack of knowledge and situational awareness. For one, the management of BBBY was corrupt and not invested, didn't have any drive for improvement. Gamestops biggest investor which regularly buys more, is also the Chairman and CEO and is improving the firm at a rapid rate. The fundamentals have been explained in this thread and some of the reasons the firm is having a hard time is a false labeling as a meme stock and media bias. Gamestop hasn't been a meme stock for a long time and only an idiot can't see this. Also it is more than just a stock, it is a movement and gamble against some of the biggest and most corrupt Hedgefonds. You can be an idiot in your lane, just stop spouting crap about stuff you do not understand or want to be a part of.

MyNi_NotYourNi

BBBY said the same until they went bankrupt. Delusional bagholders still hold out hope for salvation that will never come. Please don't repeat the same failures that have afflicted retail over the last two years across a littany of meme stocks. It's frankly embarrassing.

That-Whereas3367

That's an Australian Bed bath N' Table. It 's a private company been in business since the 1980s. it has nothing too do with BBBY.

They went all in on BBBY

Ok-Entertainment576

Carvana was in my watchlist for a long time so was bbby unfortunately I yoloed $30k in BBBY ended up broke . Congrats OP and stay profitable .

You call TUP a meme stock?? Rookie numbers compared to BBBY. Lol

realjasong

Are we going BBBY on TUP?

realjasong

TUP will be the next BBBY?

IWASINTHEPOOL1

Tupperware creating generational bagholders right now. Next BBBY lol

Thank you, as you can see, I'm the next Warren Buffett. I held FRC and BBBY into bankruptcy like a true boss... or something.

Whatever made BBBY and GME go up - regard power

You’re a GME and BBBY regard who has to buy fake watches. I don’t think you should be listening to yourself

BBBY Founder and CEO Ryan Cohen? The Ryan Cohen that dumped $178 million on his 'valued shareholders'? That Ryan Cohen? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

IncomeObvious2605

This the best comment. Love the name as well. I am moved by your comment. I lost 10k on GME than 2k on BBBY then more on something crypto. I am a serial bag holder because I can never play it safe. I am greedy and love taking risks and get punished for it time and time again. I am sitting on unrealised gains on PayPal and Comerzbank right now in options and am not selling. Theta will come to get me. Your comment got me thinking that I might have a problem. I lost 80% of the money that I earned in my life up to this point and there is no sign of change. I feel like i have got it under control but now it seems like I’m just gas lighting myself. Thanks stranger for helping me reevaluate my decision making. Not gonna quit tho for the moment as PayPal is gonna print in august

LastExcelHero

It's definitely an indicator, although not a definite one. The yield curve inverted before the global financial crisis in 2008 and also before the bursting of the internet bubble in 2001, just to name two more examples you somehow chose to ignore. And a stock can be overvalued and at the same time be a 100x bagger for some lucky guy, e.g. GME during the meme stock craze in 2021. But you might as well buy a lottery ticket hoping to win the jackpot. Eventually, valuations will matter and plenty of speculators will get burned, e.g. BBBY and its violent price fluctuations on its way to bankruptcy. Personally, I prefer bets where the odds are stacked in my favor, e.g. META trading at around $90 last fall, but to each their own I guess.

Yogurt_over_my_Mouf

I bet if you went through half their comment history you'd see they all were in on AMC , BBBY , and GME also

Close your trades, I dunno I only know how to lose money on stupid stuff like BBBY. Cash our as best you can, pay taxes, take a holiday, live? Don't let the dopamine surge take over 😆

I stopped playing the options game after losing $40k in BBBY… I actually see green in my positions now

This is a 'long term hold' for me now. Like BBBY

Edit 2: Looks like meme stock investors are still going strong on BBBY as of Monday, July 24th.

Not particularly, but I appreciate you guys having the balls to try and make money. r/investing is apparently a place to discuss mutual funds? While I won't YOLO into BBBY, fuck that

What happened to BBBY?

FishManGuy1

Dude, it's a pump and dump. Just like BBBY and GME. Nothing more, nothing less.

StickyTip420

I’ve scrolled decently far down but haven’t seen this response yet, kinda surprised. The answer to your question is they don’t have money to throw away. Sure, there are probably some high income people who can afford a 100k loss for the potential to make 1mil in a day. But the vast majority of people (especially in this community) have thrown away thousands of dollars of their savings that took them years to get. I would know. Positions: 25k BBBY long calls, 15k BBBY stock (in my Roth IRA). At the peak, worth $110,000; now worth a combined $347. Check my post history for proof.

dudestir127

I made money on BBBY before they became BBBYQ

greytoc

It's a huge mistake to regret missing out on short term stock trades. Unless you actually know how to day trade and swing trade (which it sounds like you don't), you may want to stick to longer term investing until you learn the basics of short term trading. ​ >I’ll go first. GameStop. Same here. I wish that I had a bigger short position. But overall - I'm happy with the profits from the short strangles and naked calls. The synthetic short futures were a lot less profitable. But that said - I didn't let BBBY get away and those were very profitable bear trades since. ​ > if it was just picking up one or two shares. Stick to long term investing.

Impossible_Buglar

its not a joke though you guys seriously believe this shit because half of you are brain rotted regards that came here from GME and AMC and BBBY you are actual populist morons, theres no joke here, you believe this shit

brucekeller

I think it's funny that on WSB of all places, when people are saying just invest in index funds, that it's somehow insane to suggest putting maybe 1% into individual stocks and hope that in 20 years one would turn out to be another AAPL. Mofos think they are diversifying but instead capping any exponential gains lol. I guess it's best they stick to index funds and real estate only anyway, probably would put it all on something like BBBY.

i--keep-coming-back

Reminds me of BBBY

Singularity2077

After selling the IP of both Bed Bath and Buy Buy Baby, liquidating the rest of assets and telling shareholders that there will be 0 recovery, cultists strongly believe that activist investors Ryan Cohen and Carl Icahn will swoop in and buy what's left of the company(?) for billions of dollars making them rich. The BBBY community is one of the most interesting cases of cargo cults and echo chambers, where they banned and labeled as a shill everyone who doubted their absurd conspiracy theories over the last year. They are treating Carl Icahn(who's never been involved with BBBY), Ryan Cohen (who rug pulled them last August) and BBBY executives, board members( who made a fortune during the dilution and liquidation) as deities who can do no wrong and are coming to save them. The loss porn will be spectacular when the shares become worthless. 

Traditional_Dig5919

We will see, yes Teslas news is so horrible and petrifying but my confirmation will be if monday is 1-2% green. Then im going calls for a day or two. After all stocks shit (usually) even w BBBY. They always attempt to recover if having confirmation. BUT IF THERE IS NO BULLISH CONFIRMATION ON MONDAY WE ARE DUMPING PUTS.

Thanks for the update. I'm going to head over to the BBBY sub to see how they are spinning this news.

WSB has brought me from $800-$10,000 on BBBY but when theirs no group effort in WSB we all can't make good gains

AMC has about two quarters of a runway before it follows in BBBY's footsteps. APE was AMC's only lifeline, and without being able to dilute and reverse split they are virtually guaranteed to go bankrupt this year or early next year.

I thought R was unfairly punished by their relationship with BBBY. I would still recommend R as a buy. My sell point is 100.

davidturus

While your underlying point may be relevant. SIRI and BBBY aren’t even close to a similar comparison. SIRI fundamentals aren’t all that outrageous, pays a quarterly dividend, profitable company, May have growth issues but a decent subscriber base. Had a month long run up before yesterday, and is only Trading where it was at the start of the pandemic.

ghostofwhiskey

The BBBY crown has been passed to those morons

MoshMos

He's a talking head, but I think he's not wrong on this one. It may take time, but CVNA will be in bankruptcy soon enough. This is the new BBBY and we all saw how long it took for that to finally die.

Reasonable_Ad_2104

This is gold. 1. Stanley Short Interest is low but time to cover is high. Ancient stock with probably a lot locked up. 2. Stanley is at trend line bottom and is clearly accumulating 3. Stanley is an old company, making it a good meme like (GME, AMC, BBBY) 4. Stanley is hot right now due to their insulated bottles. ALL THE RAGE with Millennials & Gen Z. Literally $45 for one (yes I own one). This gives it positive short term momentum. I'm jumping in with a starter will grab some EOY $125c. Will wait till after earnings before getting more. LFG! Target $300+
