RC

Phiziqe

remember the time wen RK was just abt to go on the live streaming and RC released the bad earnings a few days early without prior notice like on fri wen it was supposed to be released like on mon and the stonk tanked like -10% or -20% and killed the ongoing hype? i remembear it

The Ryan Cohen, RC special.

iYoloNDX0DTEs

Watching some wheelchairber drive his berry little RC car around a parking lot.   Hope this mother fucker bought puts in on his RC car lmao.

Brawmethius

BUT THE PLAN MAN. THE PLAN. Sure the plan is RC wants to use them as a personal bank to fund his attempt to buy ebay, what he seems to actually want to do. I guess just dont worry about the plan.

RC making announcement to put a bid on SPCE

PurpleFilth

I made money on gme during the first squeeze, which i promptly lost the following year in the 2022 bear market. Anyways i dont know why but i feel like RC, as eccentric as he is, is gonna make something happen, or the stock will pop again for some reason. I bought 25 strike LEAPS for december 2027. Also i have several friends who work with PSA which is affiliated with gamestop and rc, theyve been expanding a lot into collectibles and demand for psa grading services is through the roof right now, several of my friends have gotten hired with them lately. Its a long shot play but LEAPS were fairly cheap.

Might have to use drones we shot off all regular ordnance already lol. Gonna be raiding hobby shops for RC planes.

Also just because RC Cola was invented doesn't mean you shirt Coke and Pepsi

Homeless-Coward-2143

Game cuck idiots watching as they sit at 52 week lows, while RC pumps the shit out of ebay. This is the dumbest cult on earth.

CapitalSentence921

I guess no car brand will learn from others. It's just going to take them all to make some battery powered RC car to realize that normal people just don't want that lol

You got played my G. Played by RC and the biggest stock psyops ever lmao. But yes moass no cell no sell phone numbers etc etc.

netflix-ceo

RC looking to buy NVDA with 0.1% cash and 99.9% stock. Since each share is woerth 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, it will only require issuing 1 more share. Very bullish!

sounds like AMC is ready to pull off a RC tier takeover

I saw a pigeon get taken out by an RC plane +2% SPY day

Billionaires are Friends not Food lmaooo . Shilling for RC a Billionaire is crazy work............I'll be flooded with downvotes for not being a Sheepskin following words instead of Logic.

GrandKnew

anything RC touches turns to ash. bro's Thanos, snapping portfolios in half

LordChunggis

I'd start buying as many glass bottles of coke and Pepsi as possible. Hell even an RC cola, why not. As long as its SEALED and glass. Don't ask why. You will thank me later. Also get yourself a German Shepard.

bobbybeansss

EBAY calls bc RC is regarded even beyond anyone ive seen in this sub and he's actively shooting himself in the foot

_ThisDickAintFree_

So did RC sell enough cum socks to buy eBay yet?

AirportHot8094

That’s the best way to handle cultist that don’t operate in reality. The hostile takeover can’t happen and that’s why RC is having a temper tantrum. 

AirportHot8094

Fine with me they have actual experienced people who have made me money.  Can’t say the same with RC and the failing pawnshop. 

AirportHot8094

He is very wrong if you know the differences between eBay excelling and a failing pawn shop. eBay has produced more profits in one quarter then the loser RC has since he took over, eBay has grown revenue as the pawnshop tanks and eBay returns dividends to its share holders.

4DH2

As much as I hate RC, his latest words resonate so much with me. I really love my job and what I do, but I fucking hate upper leadership and the more that I let them know that, the higher I go up. Bunch of dying, low IQ, losers making too much. Easy to manipulate. Out with the old and in with the new 😘 (Wendy's)

hwork-22

Please go back to 22 Gamestore. RC is not your friend

Petit__Chou

He can take it to the shareholders. I have not seen one narrative about how the actual founder of eBay owns actual shares greater than RC and not derivatives mentioned once. He's certainly not voting yes. If people think RC has the pull with what he has- well, they will be duped again.

Bagholder147

Buy calls/shares in a company. Make regarded bid offer, pump company stock....sell. company rejects offer. -RC

Away-Organization747

Do you guys think RC looks in the mirror every morning and says this guy fucks?

mulletstation

RC is some mega 4d chess guy and the key to his plan is constant shareholder dilution and he's all outta gum.

Twinnblade

Looks like RC might be loading up on ebay shares for a hostile takeover. Ebay is green while everything else is red. I bought calls just in case

TimHung931017

Why would eBay be interested in the offer? RC trimmed fat in gamestop which included firing leadership that did nothing while milking their shareholders dry, literally what EBay leadership is doing. That would be equivalent to them selling their cash cow that is free money with no work. Of course they rejected it.

plumpypenguin

eBay is already profitable, you still haven’t explained why eBay employees would want RC as their CEO if he’s going to slash costs by cutting jobs and benefits in the name of capitalism and profits?

The_vegan_athlete

Of course you can't *say* it. This definition doesn't work: there is no *public* rejection. It's an inorganic rejection from people under NDA living in low income countries, fulfilling their best efforts obligation. I know there are some people who don't believe in RC or whatever, but I'm not talking about that. People who care about me investing in THIS specific stock, begging me to diversify my investment and "don't put all your eggs in one basket" etc I've never seen this kind of perserverance to make me sell this stock and invest elsewhere. Also this sub doesnt allow everything positive about GME, only negative stuff. They removed an analysis only based on the financial statement of GameStop, nothing more, and not talking about the squeeze.

DM725

Ebays Stock Price October 2021 peaked at $80. Ebays Stock did not touch $80 again until July 2025. It was $85 when RC and GameStop started building their position. Try looking at a chart once in a while.

plumpypenguin

even so, eBay’s stock price has consistently grown over time meanwhile, GameStop has only fallen since RC took over the company

Final-Carob-5792

Also TIL that asking RC how it would work was actually a bad faith gotcha question.

shadowmage666

Remember when RC tried to buy a majority stake in Nordstrom so they took the stock off the market and went private ? lol 😂

netflix-ceo

RC just needs to increase bid to 150bn USD. No way ebay’s board rejects that.

MickeyKae

I guess you’re ignoring the heft of my comment. There seems to be a dual critique of RC when it comes to this stuff. The first being that it’s a bad deal and eBay shareholders will reject it. Fair enough, shall see. The other being that RC is willfully fleecing people with the combo of his pay package and dilution. That bit doesn’t add up against the structure of the actual pay package.

SirGlass

>Its down cause the squeeze never ended. Short squeezes pop and go away, this one has had to be slowly forced down over 5 years, only to pop again in 2024 Yes when RK did another pump and dump >They'd be offered compensation matching a value of 125 a share, an almost 16% premium on the price now, thats why they would take it The math does not math They get $62 cash , now that cash is paid for by debt loaded onto the company Now they get shares of a company they already own, but now loaded with the debt to pay them cash? Its like a company taking on debt to pay a dividend, there is no value added here. Part of the cash will come from GME 9 billion cash , however you take 9 billion cash from GME you are left with 1 billion of GME once you take the cash out; there is no real value adding GME into eBay. >Ebay insiders havent bought a single share in 5 years, they're there for bloated compensation packages RC would remove (he receives no pay now), thats why they said no. Now it becomes a shareholder vote by fiduciary responsibility, it becomes hostile now RC has a bloated compensation package that has a giant loop hole. It does not require him to actually increase EPS or add any share holder value. He has a perverse incentive to dillute his own share holders to increase market cap by mergers not by organic growth Take this example , GME worth 10 billion for easy math. They find company ABC also worth 10 billion and propose an all stock merger ABC says no, so RC says "But wait ABC will own 2/3rds of the shares" so they agree Now GME share holders own 1/3 of a 20 billion company , they get diluted down to 6.66 billion of owner ship in the new company However RC can say "I doubled market cap and increased EBITA pay me a billion dollars" RC created zero value , all he did was take two companies and merge them together . GME share holders lost But he still meets compensation target and gets a performance bonus despite adding no share holder value Talk about perverse incentives , his whole incentive structure it to dilute GME share holders . Any one who has not drank the cool aid sees this as "VERY BAD"

Old-Guidance6744

Its down cause the squeeze never ended. Short squeezes pop and go away, this one has had to be slowly forced down over 5 years, only to pop again in 2024 They'd be offered compensation matching a value of 125 a share, an almost 16% premium on the price now, thats why they would take it Ebay insiders havent bought a single share in 5 years, they're there for bloated compensation packages RC would remove (he receives no pay now), thats why they said no.

SuperBearPut

I first called out RC when he didn't release the share votes in the summer earnings of 2021. Then he made that stupid 'buckle up' statement, that's when I knew he planned to screw over retail.

derprondo

Doesn't he know how much they don't fuck around? They sent a [dead pig](https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/ebay-inc-pay-3-million-connection-corporate-cyberstalking-campaign-targeting) to their house lol. I don't think RC has enough money or clout to be fucking with them.

FaZaCon

> RC did nothing but insult eBay’s board. Boards don't give a flying fuck about insults. You can slam them 24/7, and if the price is right, they'll bend over and insert. But Cohen's deal is shit and unattainable.

TimHung931017

80% of management would probably be booted out if RC took over, of course they dont want to sell their cash cow lol

TonyStarks81

Super excited about another RC spot. Those subs are the best reading on the internet after he bombs on live TV.

mithyyyy

it's so fucking funny seeing this story break containment and has people that don't even know anything about stocks laughing about that RC interview

Troll_D3

Not really surprising. They wouldn’t wanna give them their golden calf that pays them to do nothing. Say what you want about RC or his stock but it’s clear eBay isn’t willing to change. No institutional buying within the last 5 years, just straight selling and insane board fees to do fuck all with shareholder money. They also don’t have a plan other than probably charging higher fees on their platform. Hint AI photo descriptions, and higher seller fees isn’t a plan lmfao, haven’t even gotten to actual product listing/quality control since its also flooded with cheap ass knockoffs as well

Alarming-Jello-5846

A handful of them saw this coming. I posted to the *shudders* other sub a comment that dilution was on the way cause it’s the only way they could make the deal happen and that RC even alluded to it at the end of the CNBC interview (“we can issue more shares”). Surprisingly didn’t get downvoted to shit, even got a few upvotes. The rest of the thread was a goddamn room temp IQ mess though lol.

ZealousidealGrab1827

The nicest way to say to RC, “you are a fucking clown — go kick ricks.” Sincerely, eBay Board.

ShaggysHyper

As if RC trying to buy Ebay in first place was making any sense

ShaggysHyper

I think RC did this because Ebay ended his recent auction and his tiny ego got hurt. So no i don’t think he should even be allowed to be on board, let alone run the company.

masegesege_

RC is probably gonna buy more shares than the board has. Buy puts on 🍎and BABA in case he sells and rotates into Ebay.

Rule_Of_72T

RC did nothing but insult eBay’s board. This was expected. He’s appealing to eBay shareholders saying he can do a better job if they choose him. We’ll see what happens.

hwork-22

I am loving watching RC cuckold superstink

SomePolack

RC squandered any remaining goodwill with that interview, then DFV does a pump and dump apparently….

antelope591

Damn feel kinda bad for the gamestore crew...RC is an even bigger snake than most billionaires. Dudes put their life savings into that shit and theyre about to lose it all. Sad

S-Club-Party

A few years ago, I was at a fundraiser and Ryan Cohen was there. It was at the Tonga Room at the Fairmont San Francisco, everyone in suits and gowns, the whole thing. He was there in dirty jeans and a t-shirt, sitting alone at a little table in the back by the service area. He had this bubblegum vape he was using all throughout dinner. He’d take a rip off his vape, eat his bite of tenderloin, then dramatically exhale. Someone called hotel security and as soon as RC saw the guard walking over, he got up, tossed his napkin on the floor and ran out the front door into the street. Apparently he does this all the time and never donates a cent.

hwork-22

RC wants to dilute Gamestore more lol

SomePolack

I can’t imagine a worse pick than RC, but hindsight is 20/20

hwork-22

Gamestore needs to start testing the $20 range again. Just to watch all the apes start panicking and spread their cheeks even more for RC.

hwork-22

I was bullish before the whole ebay ordeal. It's a clear signal that RC will dilute/fuck shareholders to complete his pay package.

CryptoTAGod

for every call someone buys RC dilutes another million shares of that trash

hwork-22

Shorting Gamestore this week... RC thinks he is Elon because they both are autistic.

Spl00ky

No one is arguing about the stock and cash deal, it's where the other $16 billion is coming from. RC doesn't want to say it, but it seems like through more dilution.

Miles-OBrien

You can think whatever you want about the deal, I'm not 100% sold on it. RC might be arrogant, a troll but definitely not dumb.

ElderGoose4

RC deff gives touch of the tism vibes like unc Elon

spyVSspy420-69

So basically RC is going to dilute the shit out of you guys, eh?

rubbarz

Half Games, Half AI, Half Shoes. The RC way

spyVSspy420-69

Nah man I hate on RC for doing shit like posting “Trump 2028”. Dude is unlikable and the CNBC interview was just icing on the cake. GME holders worshiping him as he dilutes every run-up of the stock is comical as well.

Numerous-Stand-1841

Why did RC mention AI a bunch of times? ​Because he heard AI is great at hallucinating value where none exists.

holycarrots

You think RC is mature?

Tg0312

I'm just saying, everybody keeps bringing up the CNBC interview and hating RC because of it, but none of those people would sacrifice their precious time to watch another 5-8 minutes interview to actually get to know his plan/idea.

Appropriate-Sell-659

Sure pal. I haven’t seen anything “critical” of GME yet. I did see your analysis of RK DD. Quite the fucking insane rabbit hole you went down! So stop playing the fake devil’s advocate game and be real. You’re either still invested in GME and eating up the slop and ever-shifting goal posts, or you’re out of the game. How many more years do you think it’ll take for you to realize how much wasted time you’ve spent? All the wasted hours of DD? If you’re still at it by all means. Like I said, this whole recent RC fiasco has been hilarious so I’m having a great time.

Appropriate-Sell-659

You realize hiding Reddit posts doesn’t work that well, right? I can see you posting in superstonk. Man, this is just outright embarrassing for you. You know what’s actually funny about GME as of late? You guys gave up on telephone numbers and short squeezes. Now you guys get excited about an acquisition that won’t happen because RC fucked it all up lmao.

Appropriate-Sell-659

“Don’t mind me fellow sane investors, I’d just like to talk about this stock I’m totally not apart of the cult for!” You wanna know why I’m on GME meltdown? Because of shit like this lmao. And you should start being fair with yourself… GME is getting pretty damn funny as of late. RC is a complete jackass lmao

ChipWong82

RC cult members shouldve bought semis last month instead of waiting on MOASS.

_ThisDickAintFree_

Gonna outbid everyone on all of RC's auctions and just not pay. FTDs I think is what th apes call it.

SlartibartfastMcGee

You can tell that RC wanted so badly to just say: “I can issue triple the outstanding shares and the retards that follow me will still pay $24 for each one if I make some cryptic tweets about how it’s necessary for MOASS.”

SlartibartfastMcGee

The most hilarious part about the RC interview is that his plan to make up the difference is clearly to just dilute current bag holders into oblivion, but he couldn’t just admit to that on air.

onerivenpony

RC seems pretty serious about acquisition, so I entertained the idea and looked at the cashflows, synergies, and debt. After running the numbers, it seems dilution or accretion depends on what price shares are issued at. At $25, it is harmful. At $35+, it is a much more feasible acquisition that converts a price run up into sustainable cashflows. Another key takeaway is taking on more debt in a cash-heavy deal is more harmful to equity value and overall valuation compared to dilution.

LazyActive8

Holy shit do you know how badly Ryan Cohen is fucking over the gamestop people? RC said he wants to issue 2.5x of the shares to help fund the ebay deal. But he can't do that without shareholder approval, and retail owns 60% of gamestop. So RC is creating a new holding company and issuing shares from there, bypassing the need to get shareholder approval and diluting the fuck out of retail. All the while BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street will become majority owners of the new Gamestop/Ebay company Ryan "One of us" Cohen

ChipWong82

“RC is one of us”

SlartibartfastMcGee

Insane to think that if the RC fails at a hostile takeover of EBay and just ends up with a bunch of Ebay shares, it would probably be a better move than anything he’s done in the past 5 years.

_ThisDickAintFree_

RC is selling trash from his stores on eBay to raise funds for the aquisition.

CornMonkey-Original

with all his employees working the dumpsters - can’t believe RC didn’t make a play for $WEN with a market cap > $1.5b

According_History149

LOL EBay's chiefs couldn't even wait 24hr to sell after being called out live on air. Musta missed the RC interviews to busy on vacation

jennysonson

No they own closer to maybe 25-30% of the company for gamestop shareholders and 70% for ebay shareholders if they dilute. Dont forget gamestop currently owns 5% of ebay already, by offering a $125 purchase they basically pumped their own equity holding of that 5% which accounts for about $3b (pumpanomics lol) to help their purchase. 30% ownership doesnt give gamestop the right to alter the management inside ebay. This is where the terms of the merger come in play, they have to agree to have an overhaul and allow RC as their new CEO as part of the merger agreement. Which is why most ebay investors dont see this going through because Ebay was doing fine as it is, why increase the risk. Investors in Ebay are happy with a safe 10-20% annual return than a risk of a 50-100% return, the volatility is too much.

OonaPelota

Why is everyone using this clown to clown RC? Insert Gustavo Fring meme, we are not the same.

Lo0C1D

That was RC's plan, any publicity is good. We'll see what happens.

darkchippy

RC will be working at Wendys soon at this rate

Plane-Session-6624

Yeah but if his pipe dream scenario of RC being a misunderstood genius all along comes true, maybe he can make the gains he could have already have had she just been in SPY

lightdark03

you all should watch the recent interview between RC and Fox Business - a whole new person. He was bias towards CNBC folks here hence his attitude

WeenisWrinkle

He cut costs by shutting down the majority of the business, lol. If the management and bloated costs were the problem, there would be no need to shutter half the stores. But the root of problem is that they sell used video games in the digital gaming era. RC knows the business model is dying, himself. - That's why he spent billions of dollars on a a pivot to e-commerce that failed spectacularly. - That's why he spent billions on an NFT marketplace that failed. - That's why he hoards cash instead of investing in growing the vusines. ...and that's why he wants to buy eBay. The business model itself is obsolete. Same-store revenue has been dropping since he took over, and now half the stores that used to be wildly profitable are now gone forever. Any security analysis on the viability of the business model would start and end with a 50% top-line revenue decrease over 4 years, declining same store sales, and razor thin gross margins.

UK_username

It's almost like you are trying to find negatives in what he has done no matter what happens, that's the false narrative. The transformation has been pretty amazing if you pay attention to what it was 5 years ago and what it is now, it's pretty unreasonable to spin it another way.  The revenue dip is meaningless and fixation on that will cloud your judgement, he had to scale back the stores where money was being lost, and 5+ years ago it was suffering massive losses. I don't really see what he was supposed to do there instead. Revenue is now going to start moving the other way, plays for ebay and new revenue streams coming through show this to be the case. Over 9 billion in cash and 100s of million net profit last year, it's clearly improving year on year. This isn't insignificant.  They already have a 5% stake in ebay, whether the deal goes through or not they will benefit financially.  The bitcoin has been put to work generating income, and anyway is only a small portion of their assets. Collectables are international and a massive thing (clearly not just talking about Pokémon), worth 100s of billions yearly. It's been big for litterally decades, so not sure why you think it's a fad. Gamestop have an opportunity to greatly increase their market share in this space. Maybe ebay is an excellent fit there. Dilution has so far lead to a 9 billion cash position and opportunity for 100% acquisition of a company with a much large market cap. Whatever you think about it doesn't change that it's been effective.  And he takes zero salary, they have only recently agreed a compensation package and it's heavily linked to improving shareholder value.   RC had a better interview today as expected. 

A10cc

I think instead of trying to buy out Ebay, RC should try to buy the strait of Whoremoose. I think it's a better value proposition.

flippyflop64

Wall Street bets allowed all that bs slander on RC yesterday. Bots posting every 3 minutes full of bs. Just before his interview today of Fox moderators were taking down bot shit posts. Now they won’t let you post RC’s new interview today which explains very simply how RC plans on making the deal. Wall Street go fuck yourself o wait that’s right you pigs fuck kids
