GME

MaybeICanOneDay

I was trading this at like 30 dollars some years when WSB (before you GME fucking losers flooded this place) was doing the "to the MUon!" memes. Holy fuck. Why didnt i just hold.

GME says about 140%

PckMan

I've seen it happen so many times ever since GME. And most of the time I get on and off green because I've gotten a feel for them. But at the same time there's all those desperate people dumping their savings into it thinking it's the second GME, the narrative is always the same verbatim it's actually insane, like a cult almost, and of course all those stocks do actually form their own cults. Subreddits popping up all over. It takes like one or two posts about a stock for people to drink the kool aid.

Mother___Night

In any other context, GME's consistent YoY revenue declines would have had investors heading for the hills years ago. I can't wait for the day it finally goes under.

Foreal, MMs mastered the art of the short squeeze, after GME non have been the same, they are pros now

calgary_db

As someone who has been blocked permanently by the MSTR sub, the Bitcoin sub, and the BTC sub: They believe in bitcoin for the future no matter what happens. Even price point and trend. Even if the time horizon doesn't happen. Even if Saylor is a known multi time fraudster. Even beyond all reason. It is just hope and recycled memes. Same as the GME community.

Sweaty-Afternoon-508

Seems to be an over simplification. Issuing more shares at a significantly higher price absolutely helps the company. They also are more likely to be able to procure loans from banks if the market cap is higher, and M&A is more possible when shares are part of the deal.. But look no further than GME. Tell me that didn’t save their asses.

bearwithastick

As someone who made similar money with GME and then.. just lost it. My advice: Take this money, move it to an ETF and never fucking touch a trader app again.

Bro look at the dividend on this b. Who the f cares. Time to pile in. This is like GME but instead of a useless store they have spicy chicken sandwiches and chili.

LiamPhlegmsworth

I love that y’all are creating another “community” with WEN. We should merge the AMC and GME communities with the new WEN community and IPO as a $1.5T valuation think tank. Who needs AI when you could just ask that group your questions.

AgitatorSupreme

I was messing with WEN trades thru out the day, i didnt see anything about this. I don’t know why anyone trusts robinhood after the shit they pulled with GME. That move should have put themselves out of business.

Extension-Temporary4

I wouldn’t count on Reddit to save anything. And pumping a stock isn’t saving it. GME is still a dying business regardless of how hard Reddit pumps it. Ryan cohen is still an absolute incompetent moron. Reddit pumped Wendy’s for a day, it’s back down again. The business is still broken, regardless of what the share price does. Point is, Reddit isn’t saving anyone or anything, ever. They’re just pumping and delaying the inevitable. Instead focus on an actual thesis and invest if you have conviction in that thesis long term.  For me, I think snap has value and it’s currently trading at a market cap that doesn’t fully reflect that value. You could sell the data to marketing agencies or LLM’s for big money. You could sell the trademark for big money. You can sell the proprietary tech that went into building the specs for huge money. You can sell the platform simply for its 1bn users for huge money. The market cap is 7bn. The company has 3bn in cash alone. If you sold the platform for 1 dollar per users that would be a billion right there. Meta bought oculus for $2bn. Right there you’re at $7bn. And you still have heaps of valuable data, other good will, receivables and other assets. There is value here.

GME to the fucking moon

sosawof

Honestly, how do you guys feel about GME? Not that squeeze bs, but going off their earnings and playbook

ALLCAPITAL

Watching GME chart track down and everyone says people are dumb to like it. To this day it’s still worth 10x what it was before the squeeze. WEN makes sense long term. It’s depressed but they have been cutting to maximize the value for a while. The turnaround is coming.

gianmk

the GME apes must have the strongest mental fortitude there is. There have been no movement in shareprice for like 3 years or some shit and they still have blind faith in the company. Its almost admirable.

deltasleepy

People still use Robinhood after they were exposed after GME era???? 😂

Jagick

Didn't AMD just dilute? Again? AMC could absolutely be reversed like GME and Wendy's if AMC's leadership weren't so determined to drive it deeper and deeper into core of the planet.

wuhanabe

GME, BYND they all got nailed at the start. This play is missing a leader thats the problem. GME had keith Gill, BYND had Capybara.

AlarmedRaccoon619

You make some very interesting points. I don't think Peltz is behind the long-term decline of the stock, but I do think he has a vested interest in WEN staying undervalued while he's working on a deal to take the company private and I think he it's reasonable to assume he's on the short list of suspects behind the hammering WEN took this morning. If WEN turned into GME, his deal would be cooked (pun intended).

arctictony222

I still believe WEN has the catalyst to squeeze but unfortunately WSB doesn't have the resilience, unity or balls they once had with GME.

confusing_roundabout

I was here for GME and BYND. I know a pump and dump when I see one now.

BilboBagonuts

Well yeah, that’s what turned GME into a rocket. I would not expect that to happen here. If nothing changes, it’s arguably an $8 stock, which isn’t a very impressive return. They are in the middle of a turnaround attempt, which if successful, could turn this into a $12 to 14 stock if its multiples were closer to its industry peers.

Sufficient_Sport5251

Naked selling is illegal. The GME squeeze for example was almost certainly just a massive leverage play by hedge funds that backfired. Now they have sentiment scrubbers that check reddit to make sure they aren’t caught with their pants down. Not saying a bother GME can’t happen, but the AMC rally and now Wendy’s is an example of that shorts are maybe less aggressive

TipEmpty8429

GME had 140% of the shares shorted, and still didn’t get to infinite

MMs really had you losers convinced WEN was going to be the next GME lmfao

I learned all I need to know from the GME days. When the tables are turned they just turn off the game and change the rules. Crooks. No SEC involvement ofcourse. If you don’t pay one cent of taxes or owe come company a dime they will send swat teams

First it was the OPEN tards. Then came the SPCE tards. Now the WEN tards have entered the chat. In my day we had GME and AMC tards that could at least run some shit for more than two days. Now they have dedicated subs with 40yo men calling themselves “apes”

It's GME all over again. They claim it's to "protect investors" but really what they're doing is buying big money whos shorting it time to maneuver and shit more shares. Robinhood is in on it. That's why despite the fact I love their app and interface I cancelled my account with them.

Shawnski13

It's a pump and dump, they bought a week ago when the stock was $0.004/share. People with fomo saw that hoping for the next GME bought in too late at around $0.02, when it hit $0.05 they all sold. For instance if you decided to buy $100 at 0.004 you'd get about 25,000 shares. Then if you sold at $0.05 you'd be paid out $1250. So if you didn't sell you're probably left holding the bag, the stock is also set to be delisted today at market opening I believe.

Tbf wasn't robinhood also the one to block buying of GME?

emiliepetersen1990

**Wendy's (WEN) - I really like the stock** Wendy’s (WEN) has recently become one of the meme-stock names on WallStreetBets, but I think the more interesting point is that WEN is not just a squeeze trade. As a standalone investment, I find it much more compelling than GME was before its original short squeeze. Funny side note: I tried posting a version of this as a post on WallStreetBets, but apparently it was too boring. **1. Asset-light franchise model** Wendy’s is primarily a franchised business, with roughly 94% of restaurants operated by franchisees. That means the parent company earns recurring royalty and marketing-fund income while avoiding much of the store-level operating risk. That shows up in the economics: in fiscal 2025, Wendy’s generated about $2.2 billion of revenue, $344.5 million of operating cash flow and $205.4 million of free cash flow, with gross margin of 63.6% and operating margin of 15.8%. This is not a speculative concept stock; it is a capital-light royalty stream attached to a real consumer brand. **2. The valuation looks genuinely depressed** Before the recent meme-stock move, WEN was trading around $6.07, close to a multi-decade low. At that level, the stock was roughly around 7x earnings and about 7x EBITDA on an enterprise-value basis, depending on how you treat net debt and forward estimates. That is a major discount to large franchised QSR peers such as McDonald’s, Yum Brands and Restaurant Brands International, which typically trade at much higher EBITDA multiples. The key question is not whether Wendy’s is as good as McDonald’s. It clearly is not. The question is whether it deserves to trade at such a large discount if the new management team can merely stabilize the business. From this starting point, even a modest improvement could create meaningful re-rating potential. **3. High cash yield while you wait** The annual dividend is $0.56 per share, which represented roughly a 9% forward yield near the recent lows. That yield should not be treated as risk-free. If the turnaround disappoints, the dividend could come under pressure. But management has stated a target payout ratio of 50–60% of adjusted earnings, so the dividend is currently an important part of the thesis: investors are being paid to wait while the turnaround plays out. **4. Turnaround team with relevant experience** CEO Bob Wright and newly appointed CFO Steve Cirulis previously worked together at Potbelly, where the turnaround led to a very large increase in the share price. That does not guarantee success at Wendy’s, but it does give the current management team some credibility. Their plan, Project Fresh, focuses on brand revitalization, operational execution, system optimization and capital allocation. There is at least some early evidence that management-controlled stores are responding better: in Q3 2025, company-operated comparable sales outperformed the overall system by about 4 percentage points. That matters because company-operated restaurants are where management has the most direct control over execution. **5. International growth is still intact** The US business is the main problem, but international growth remains a positive part of the story. International systemwide sales grew 8.6%, with growth across all regions, and Wendy’s has committed development pipelines including Italy, Armenia and Romania. Because most new units are franchised, successful international growth should convert into royalty income without requiring heavy capital investment from Wendy’s itself. **6. Activist and asset optionality** Trian still owns a meaningful stake in Wendy’s, and Nelson Peltz has a long history with the company. Wendy’s also has a real-estate segment that owns property, which could create monetization or strategic optionality over time. I would not make this the base case, but it adds another layer of potential upside if the board or large shareholders push for more aggressive value creation. **7. The separate meme-stock / short-interest setup** This part should be kept separate from the fundamental thesis. Short interest has been reported around 30–37% of the float, depending on the source, and recent retail buying has been far above normal levels. That is the kind of setup that can create violent near-term moves. But this is a trading catalyst, not an investment thesis. It can add or destroy a lot of value in days, and it says very little about whether Wendy’s is a good long-term investment. **My view** The cleanest version of the thesis is this: Wendy’s is a real, asset-light, cash-generative franchise business trading at a distressed valuation, with a high dividend yield, a credible turnaround team, international growth optionality and a potentially explosive positioning setup. The risks are obvious: US same-store sales remain weak, the brand has lost relevance versus stronger QSR peers, the dividend may not be sustainable if earnings deteriorate, and meme-stock volatility can cut both ways. I think the risk/reward is attractive. I am treating the short squeeze potential as a bonus, not the core reason to own the stock. I have a position in WEN.

Haven’t been around since GME… do these overnight robinhood prices actually hold once real pre market opens? I imagine it’s very low volume …

We just gotta keep pumping the ever living shet out of us. Day in, day out. Gamestop took weeks of serious pumping, remember? Posting about it all over social media and then as soon as celebs starting posting GME, it started roaring! But, robinhood will do everything they can to stop this. They are on here watching, and I could slap the shet out of anyone dumb enough to be trading with Robinhood after the shet they pulled with GME. Pump it every day. Not just tomorrow, like lil sally said in 10th grade, pump harder! Pump pump pump pump pump every day for a week and watch it rise to $300 and we all retire!

The reason we will never see a GME ever again is because paper-handed punk asses set 2x targets instead of 50x targets.

I will say I normally go against all trades on WSB, but f it I’m in. Wendy’s full port. Was part of GME 2nd run now I’m hopping on this. Let’s send it to the moon. I don’t wanna see any paper hands. Hold those bags, besides let’s be honest if u profit take ur just gonna lose it gambling elsewhere. Might aswell be apart of history, ur gonna be telling ur grandchildren about the Wendy’s pump.

What do you mean its only made up of the best stocks like GME and OPEN and KSS and DNUT

GME short interest was at 140% when it popped.. so ,hile 30% sounds like a lot, you still have a long way to go... IF it happens.

Honestly out of all the meme rallies since GME Wendy’s is the only place I frequently visit. They changed the game with the 4 for 4.

My usual strategy is to trade against WSB users. But I’m proud to say I’m into Wendy’s for the tendys. Don’t let me down. Be in it for the long run, no paper hands, I was apart of the 2nd GME run. I wanna see my fellow diamond hand regards run ts up boysssss

Watch this shit go full GME or even better. Then Wendys gives the DT Foundation a several billion donation because of it. THEN WALLSTREETBETS IS KNOWN AS SAVIOR OF CHILDREN.
