Call options convey the right to buy shares at a fixed price in the future.Reuters was unable to independently verify if the Reddit post was made by Keith Gill or if the positions disclosed were authentic.However, Trade Alert data showed the number of open contracts in GameStop soared to 145,000 by the end of May, from just about 15,000 on May 19. Figuring an average trading price of $5.52 during that period, a buyer of 120,000 options contracts would have been up about $54 million on Monday, based on the contracts' closing price of $10 a piece.Reuters GraphicsExiting an options trade could mean selling the options themselves or taking delivery of the underlying shares. Both choices could be problematic, given the size of the position and the spotlight on GameStop, options mavens said.It would be difficult to sell even a partial chunk of the options position without drawing attention, potentially knocking down the price of the options as well as the underlying stock, market participants said.\"It's much easier to sell 10 to 12 million shares than if you sold 120,000 call options,\" said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers and a former options market maker.It might also damage Gill’s reputation for having “diamond hands” - meme stock parlance for someone with high risk tolerance and an unwillingness to cave under pressure by selling their holdings.\"Unless he is super committed to being a long term investor and taking delivery of (the shares), it's going to be challenging to monetize this without moving the market just because everybody's hyper aware of this now,\" said Garrett DeSimone, head of quantitative research at OptionMetrics.The other variant - taking delivery of 12 million shares that the disclosed options contracts command, may require hundreds of millions in capital, analysts said.One way for Gill to get around this and still make money, options traders said, would be to short 12 million shares of GameStop before the options expire. An investor going short borrows shares and sells them in the hopes of being able to buy back the stock at a lower price in the future.If GameStop’s share price is above the options’ $20 strike price at expiration, Gill could, in theory, exercise his options - buying the stock at $20 a piece and use the shares to close out his short position.Using Monday’s closing prices, Gill would be selling the shares at $28 and exercising his options to buy them back at $20, netting himself about $8 per share, or $96 million.\"That would make it seem like he's still 'a diamond hands' and he's still going to make money,\" said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivative strategy at Susquehanna Financial Group.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9920282844,"gmtCreate":1670503857989,"gmtModify":1676538381411,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Short it then, I'll buy cheap","listText":"Short it then, I'll buy cheap","text":"Short it then, I'll buy cheap","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9920282844","repostId":"2289086417","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2289086417","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1670501916,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2289086417?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-08 20:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The GameStop Turnaround Promise Is Failing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2289086417","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen and CEO Matt Furlong promised to turn the gaming retailer into one of o","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen and CEO Matt Furlong promised to turn the gaming retailer into one of operational excellence and amazing store experiences while cashing in on new opportunities like crypto and NFTs.</p><p>More than a year into their collective and rather secretive leadership, the entire experiment is beginning to look like an utter failure — underscoring longtime Wall Street concerns about the company&#39;s business model such as too many costly physical stores in dying malls and shifts to digital gaming.</p><p>Not helping GameStop&#39;s turnaround efforts is a complete crash in the once thriving digital asset market that Cohen and Furlong were banking on (see: the NFT market crash or GameStop&#39;s strategic partnership with now-defunct FTX).</p><p>The realities of this underwhelming turnaround story were on grand display in GameStop&#39;s third quarter earnings out Wednesday evening.

April’s consumer price index (CPI) data revealed a stronger-than-forecast jump of 8.3%and reaffirming that most of life’s essential and non-essential goods are keeping inflation afloat near four decade highs.The report took its toll on the broader averages with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down roughly 1.50% to 3.0% and hitting new year-to-date lows. And larger losses of around 5% to 8% in market leaders Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL) and Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) made agreeable sense to investors as well.But before you point fingers at fearful and deafening macro developments driving others on Wall Street crazy, it’s simply time to acknowledge, avoid or even short a GME stock whose siren song has lost its voice.GME Stock Is Still King, Without a CourtInflation. Rising interest rates. Poor fundamentals. When some investors discuss GameStop’s opportunity to move forward, those items invariably are a big piece of the conversation. And it’s usually a message that’s negative.I can’t fault the caution or outright bearishness. That seems especially true given a fledgling brick-and-mortar retail gaming business that’s past its prime and attempting to pivot into something more 21st century featuring a larger digital presence, crypto, non-fungible assets (NFTs) and, who knows, maybe even an angle in the metaverse? Apparently.So, yeah, Wednesday’s CPI data obviously has a place in any dialogue regarding GME stock.But it would be reckless to ignore the impact other chatter known as“mentions”or lack thereof, in the investment forum of Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets. It’s that activity among a subset of aggressively bullish traders known as apes that made GME stock a household name over the past year.GME stock mentions are still a thing and GameStop remains the king of memes played by Redditors. But it certainly doesn’t hold court like it did.On Wednesday in fact, CPI mentions of around 1,000 took top honors on WallStreetBets. By comparison, GME stock was in sixth place with about 180 remarks and roughly 1% of what the real“Gamestonk!!”Siren song remains mostly about.GME Stock Bottom Is a BluffSource: Charts by TradingViewNot only are the wildly frisky days of tweets being retweeted and tweeted again as mentions responsible for GME stock’s legendary short squeezes largely over, but those infamous diamond hands have been replaced by a 2-7 off suit in no position to bluff.Technically, GME stock could be tempting some traders into buying shares as it challenges its March low. It’s a classic scenario which could play out as a bullish double bottom pattern. But don’t expect GameStop’s short interest of 20% to blink, let alone run for cover.Not only does a weak-looking stochastics warn that buying GME stock and profiting from the pattern is a longshot, but there’s no price confirmation. On the provided weekly chart that would require an impressive bounce in its own right of nearly 50%!But even on the daily time frame, buying a volatile double bottom (if the pattern receives technical confirmation) requires too much faith in a meme stock movement that has seen its heyday and one further challenged by today’s risk-off environment.GameStop TakeawaySo if buying GameStop has the deck stacked against it, a short should make sense, right? It does. And with shares still commanding a $7.5 billion market cap and GME more than four-fold higher than 2021’s low, there’s room to play it bearishly alongside GameStop’s short interest.Appreciably, shorting GME shares remains a riskier proposition given its day-to-day volatility or the possibility of a muted short squeeze. But an out-of-the-money bear put spread can help with those types of challenges.A vertical of this kind limits and vastly reduces unwanted upside exposure if GameStop rallies. Conversely, the strategy can generate outsized profits compared to an equivalent short stock position if GME trades lower.As with anything, there’s compromises. Among other things, with this sort of strategy returns aren’t maximized until expiration. And in the interim when trying to capture profits or further minimize contained losses, GME’s volatility can make that sort of disadvantage look more significant.But ultimately, a bear put spread’s pros far outweigh the cons in trading GameStop more smartly than shorting shares.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030575453,"gmtCreate":1645769844575,"gmtModify":1676534062764,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"NFT MARKETPLACE LETS F GO!!!&nbsp;[Cool]&nbsp;","listText":"NFT MARKETPLACE LETS F GO!!!&nbsp;[Cool]&nbsp;","text":"NFT MARKETPLACE LETS F GO!!!

In late January 2021, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock surged from around $50 to nearly $500 in the span of a few days, opening investors’ minds to a whole new type of trade. If enough people started to buy a company’s stock , it seemed that the sky really was the limit for those shares.However, the excitement about plays like GameStop and AMC (NYSE:AMC) has now fizzled. Predictions of subsequent short squeezes and trips to the moon have failed to materialize. In fact, as the stock market as a whole has corrected and speculative stocks have plunged,  names like AMC stock and GME stock have declined sharply as well. As it turns out, fundamentals actually do matter, and GameStop’s fundamentals are very poor.Where’s the Turnaround?For all the excitement about Ryan Cohen joining GameStop and trying to turn it around, the company has not made much progress.The video-game industry had a record year in 2021, as the sector’s sales climbed 8%, exceeding $60 billion. GameStop, however, is generating large losses, and its revenue remains far short of its levels from a few years ago.Analysts, on average, expect the company to report major losses in 2022, and their mean estimates call for its revenue growth to decelerate. Overall, for all the hype about GameStop, the company’s business appears to be struggling as much as ever.No Reason for OptimismThings aren’t likely to get much better for GameStop. For years, the company relied on secondhand game sales to drive crucial, high-margin revenue streams. However, this business is slowly becoming obsolete.That’s largely due to streaming services that specialize in video games. Companies such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) are launching successful streaming channels, making it less and less important to actually own games. Just as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) eliminated the need for physical DVDs and Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) replaced CDs, gaming streaming services (along with digital download platforms like Steam) are likely to replace GameStop eventually.Adding to that transition is the consolidation in the gaming industry. That is, in order to broaden their product offerings, companies are merging with each other. Microsoft’s  acquisition of Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) will be particularly problematic for GameStop.Activision has created many of the best-selling game series of all time. Now all of those games will be under Microsoft’s control and can quickly be added to the software giant’s streaming system, cutting out the middleman i.e. GameStop.No Monopoly on NFTsA big focus for GameStop recently has been cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). But that initiative is unlikely to be very successful. A group of investors backed by the controversial internet marketer, Tai Lopez, bought Radio Shack’s intellectual property and are hoping to create a cryptocurrency and NFT ecosystem with the IP. While they’re at it, why not turn Kodak and Blockbuster into crypto plays as well? Kodak, after all, had its short-lived KodakCoin project.My point is that there are many other companies which will be able to easily compete with GameStop in the cryptocurrency space. It’s not hard to grab some IP that appeals to millennials and use it to launch a cryptocurrency or NFT project. A much harder challenge. however, is making such a project impactful on society or financial markets.GameStop was one of the first “old economy” companies to embrace cryptocurrency as a marketing tool. But many firms have followed in its footsteps, and GameStop’s potential first-mover advantage in the space has faded.The Verdict on GME StockGameStop became a fascinating story in January 2021. It pitted a bunch of renegade traders against some hedge funds and market makers in a compelling clash. The first season of GameStop versus Wall Street was very dramatic.But like a TV series that has gone on for way too many years, GME stock is no longer such a compelling story. Meme stocks have plunged, and the shares of brokerage firms such as Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) have collapsed as their trading activity and profits have dried up.And, most importantly, the possibility of a short squeeze ended months ago for GameStop. By now, anyone shorting GME stock who was going to cover their positions already did so ages ago.GameStop at this point is a struggling video game retailer. It has some cash, which gives it a fighting chance to launch a new business model.So far, however, its efforts in crypto and NFTs have been profoundly underwhelming. And the e-commerce sector is losing steam in general; the shares of Ryan Cohen’s original company, Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) have crashed. If GameStop was supposed to be the Chewy of video games, that’s not such an appealing goal now.GameStop had a sensational run, but it’s over,  and it’s time to move on.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2091,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030305414,"gmtCreate":1645626215997,"gmtModify":1676534046451,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Matt Furlong promised to turn the gaming retailer into one of operational excellence and amazing store experiences while cashing in on new opportunities like crypto and NFTs.</p><p>More than a year into their collective and rather secretive leadership, the entire experiment is beginning to look like an utter failure — underscoring longtime Wall Street concerns about the company&#39;s business model such as too many costly physical stores in dying malls and shifts to digital gaming.</p><p>Not helping GameStop&#39;s turnaround efforts is a complete crash in the once thriving digital asset market that Cohen and Furlong were banking on (see: the NFT market crash or GameStop&#39;s strategic partnership with now-defunct FTX).</p><p>The realities of this underwhelming turnaround story were on grand display in GameStop&#39;s third quarter earnings out Wednesday evening. The damage came in two forms.</p><p>First, another dreadfully poor quarter of financials:</p><ul><li><p>Net sales -8.5% year over year.</p></li><li><p>Sales down in the hardware/accessories and software businesses — these businesses have represented about 82% of GameStop&#39;s year to date sales.</p></li><li><p>Sales down in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.</p></li><li><p>Gross profit margins unchanged year over year.</p></li><li><p>$95 million adjusted operating loss. Year to date, GameStop has lost $354.9 million on an adjusted operating basis.</p></li><li><p>Total cash of about $1 billion, down from $1.4 billion in the year ago quarter.</p></li></ul><p>The other aspect — which is now only taking form — is GameStop dialing back the capital its investing to alter the course of its business longer-term. The pivot amounts to a complete about-face after several ugly quarters that have sent the volatile stock price plunging 40% in 2022.</p><p>&#34;Today, we&#39;re in the process of aligning corporate costs to our go-forward needs after completing the majority of necessary upgrades to our systems, fulfillment capabilities and overall foundation,&#34; Furlong said in another relatively short — 8 minutes — earnings call. &#34;A large portion of our cost cuts will stem from reductions in corporate headcount that have been made during the back-half of this calendar year.

The damage came in two forms.First, another dreadfully poor quarter of financials:Net sales -8.5% year over year.Sales down in the hardware/accessories and software businesses — these businesses have represented about 82% of GameStop's year to date sales.Sales down in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.Gross profit margins unchanged year over year.$95 million adjusted operating loss. Year to date, GameStop has lost $354.9 million on an adjusted operating basis.Total cash of about $1 billion, down from $1.4 billion in the year ago quarter.The other aspect — which is now only taking form — is GameStop dialing back the capital its investing to alter the course of its business longer-term. The pivot amounts to a complete about-face after several ugly quarters that have sent the volatile stock price plunging 40% in 2022.\"Today, we're in the process of aligning corporate costs to our go-forward needs after completing the majority of necessary upgrades to our systems, fulfillment capabilities and overall foundation,\" Furlong said in another relatively short — 8 minutes — earnings call. \"A large portion of our cost cuts will stem from reductions in corporate headcount that have been made during the back-half of this calendar year. In some cases individuals who helped us complete key initiatives have left on their own accord and are not being replaced. In other cases, we've made the decision to eliminate or streamline parts of the organization, where we can leverage the work completed over the past 18 months to operate with increased efficiency.\"This fresh round of cost-cutting is a clear sign of retreat by GameStop, an indication if you will that the company wants to start showing some bottom line wins for investors (which include Cohen) at the expense of any grand turnaround vision.Furlong, a former Amazon exec, added that the company's \"two overarching priorities\" would be \"achieving profitability in the near-term and driving pragmatic growth over the long-term.\"In other words, the fledgling video game retailer is breaking the promise by Cohen and Furlong to reimagine GameStop. The GameStop faithful still supporting the company would be wise to recognize that the company's meme stock-era thesis is unraveling in real-time.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3023,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030575453,"gmtCreate":1645769844575,"gmtModify":1676534062764,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"NFT MARKETPLACE LETS F GO!!!&nbsp;[Cool]&nbsp;","listText":"NFT MARKETPLACE LETS F GO!!!&nbsp;[Cool]&nbsp;","text":"NFT MARKETPLACE LETS F GO!!!

In late January 2021, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock surged from around $50 to nearly $500 in the span of a few days, opening investors’ minds to a whole new type of trade. If enough people started to buy a company’s stock , it seemed that the sky really was the limit for those shares.However, the excitement about plays like GameStop and AMC (NYSE:AMC) has now fizzled. Predictions of subsequent short squeezes and trips to the moon have failed to materialize. In fact, as the stock market as a whole has corrected and speculative stocks have plunged,  names like AMC stock and GME stock have declined sharply as well. As it turns out, fundamentals actually do matter, and GameStop’s fundamentals are very poor.Where’s the Turnaround?For all the excitement about Ryan Cohen joining GameStop and trying to turn it around, the company has not made much progress.The video-game industry had a record year in 2021, as the sector’s sales climbed 8%, exceeding $60 billion. GameStop, however, is generating large losses, and its revenue remains far short of its levels from a few years ago.Analysts, on average, expect the company to report major losses in 2022, and their mean estimates call for its revenue growth to decelerate. Overall, for all the hype about GameStop, the company’s business appears to be struggling as much as ever.No Reason for OptimismThings aren’t likely to get much better for GameStop. For years, the company relied on secondhand game sales to drive crucial, high-margin revenue streams. However, this business is slowly becoming obsolete.That’s largely due to streaming services that specialize in video games. Companies such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) are launching successful streaming channels, making it less and less important to actually own games. Just as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) eliminated the need for physical DVDs and Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) replaced CDs, gaming streaming services (along with digital download platforms like Steam) are likely to replace GameStop eventually.Adding to that transition is the consolidation in the gaming industry. That is, in order to broaden their product offerings, companies are merging with each other. Microsoft’s  acquisition of Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) will be particularly problematic for GameStop.Activision has created many of the best-selling game series of all time. Now all of those games will be under Microsoft’s control and can quickly be added to the software giant’s streaming system, cutting out the middleman i.e. GameStop.No Monopoly on NFTsA big focus for GameStop recently has been cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). But that initiative is unlikely to be very successful. A group of investors backed by the controversial internet marketer, Tai Lopez, bought Radio Shack’s intellectual property and are hoping to create a cryptocurrency and NFT ecosystem with the IP. While they’re at it, why not turn Kodak and Blockbuster into crypto plays as well? Kodak, after all, had its short-lived KodakCoin project.My point is that there are many other companies which will be able to easily compete with GameStop in the cryptocurrency space. It’s not hard to grab some IP that appeals to millennials and use it to launch a cryptocurrency or NFT project. A much harder challenge. however, is making such a project impactful on society or financial markets.GameStop was one of the first “old economy” companies to embrace cryptocurrency as a marketing tool. But many firms have followed in its footsteps, and GameStop’s potential first-mover advantage in the space has faded.The Verdict on GME StockGameStop became a fascinating story in January 2021. It pitted a bunch of renegade traders against some hedge funds and market makers in a compelling clash. The first season of GameStop versus Wall Street was very dramatic.But like a TV series that has gone on for way too many years, GME stock is no longer such a compelling story. Meme stocks have plunged, and the shares of brokerage firms such as Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) have collapsed as their trading activity and profits have dried up.And, most importantly, the possibility of a short squeeze ended months ago for GameStop. By now, anyone shorting GME stock who was going to cover their positions already did so ages ago.GameStop at this point is a struggling video game retailer. It has some cash, which gives it a fighting chance to launch a new business model.So far, however, its efforts in crypto and NFTs have been profoundly underwhelming. And the e-commerce sector is losing steam in general; the shares of Ryan Cohen’s original company, Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) have crashed. If GameStop was supposed to be the Chewy of video games, that’s not such an appealing goal now.GameStop had a sensational run, but it’s over,  and it’s time to move on.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2091,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316119996784680,"gmtCreate":1718207442672,"gmtModify":1718207447438,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope the shorts lose everything","listText":"Hope the shorts lose everything","text":"Hope the shorts lose everything","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/316119996784680","repostId":"1106685570","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1106685570","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1718204968,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106685570?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-06-12 23:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Citron Research Closes GameStop Short Position","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106685570","media":"Reuters","summary":"Citron Research no longer has a short position in retail traders' favorite GameStop, the short seller said on X.com on Wednesday, days after taking a bearish position in the company.Andrew Left, Citro","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Citron Research no longer has a short position in retail traders&#39; favorite GameStop, the short seller said on X.com on Wednesday, days after taking a bearish position in the company.</p><p>Andrew Left, Citron Research&#39;s founder, had said last week he was again betting against GameStop, although his position was &#34;significantly lower&#34; from 2021 when he was forced to close his position after retail traders banded together in online forums and drove an eye popping rally in the stock, squeezing hedge funds.</p><p>Left told Reuters he would short GameStop again if the stock reached a $45-$50 level.

An investor going short borrows shares and sells them in the hopes of being able to buy back the stock at a lower price in the future.If GameStop’s share price is above the options’ $20 strike price at expiration, Gill could, in theory, exercise his options - buying the stock at $20 a piece and use the shares to close out his short position.Using Monday’s closing prices, Gill would be selling the shares at $28 and exercising his options to buy them back at $20, netting himself about $8 per share, or $96 million.\"That would make it seem like he's still 'a diamond hands' and he's still going to make money,\" said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivative strategy at Susquehanna Financial Group.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067350465,"gmtCreate":1652411585557,"gmtModify":1676535095971,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah short it please&nbsp;and we'll squeeze you dry","listText":"Yeah short it please&nbsp;and we'll squeeze you dry","text":"Yeah short it please and we'll squeeze you dry","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9067350465","repostId":"1170782959","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1170782959","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1652409774,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170782959?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-13 10:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop Stock Should Be Avoided or Shorted","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170782959","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"GameStop(GME) is still top among Redditors, but shorts have the advantage.GME stock’s price chart is","content":"<div>\n<p>GameStop(GME) is still top among Redditors, but shorts have the advantage.GME stock’s price chart is at risk of more significant failure.Investors should avoid GME stock or consider a bear put spread....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/gamestop-stock-should-be-avoided-or-shorted/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

April’s consumer price index (CPI) data revealed a stronger-than-forecast jump of 8.3%and reaffirming that most of life’s essential and non-essential goods are keeping inflation afloat near four decade highs.The report took its toll on the broader averages with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down roughly 1.50% to 3.0% and hitting new year-to-date lows. And larger losses of around 5% to 8% in market leaders Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL) and Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) made agreeable sense to investors as well.But before you point fingers at fearful and deafening macro developments driving others on Wall Street crazy, it’s simply time to acknowledge, avoid or even short a GME stock whose siren song has lost its voice.GME Stock Is Still King, Without a CourtInflation. Rising interest rates. Poor fundamentals. When some investors discuss GameStop’s opportunity to move forward, those items invariably are a big piece of the conversation. And it’s usually a message that’s negative.I can’t fault the caution or outright bearishness. That seems especially true given a fledgling brick-and-mortar retail gaming business that’s past its prime and attempting to pivot into something more 21st century featuring a larger digital presence, crypto, non-fungible assets (NFTs) and, who knows, maybe even an angle in the metaverse? Apparently.So, yeah, Wednesday’s CPI data obviously has a place in any dialogue regarding GME stock.But it would be reckless to ignore the impact other chatter known as“mentions”or lack thereof, in the investment forum of Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets. It’s that activity among a subset of aggressively bullish traders known as apes that made GME stock a household name over the past year.GME stock mentions are still a thing and GameStop remains the king of memes played by Redditors. But it certainly doesn’t hold court like it did.On Wednesday in fact, CPI mentions of around 1,000 took top honors on WallStreetBets. By comparison, GME stock was in sixth place with about 180 remarks and roughly 1% of what the real“Gamestonk!!”Siren song remains mostly about.GME Stock Bottom Is a BluffSource: Charts by TradingViewNot only are the wildly frisky days of tweets being retweeted and tweeted again as mentions responsible for GME stock’s legendary short squeezes largely over, but those infamous diamond hands have been replaced by a 2-7 off suit in no position to bluff.Technically, GME stock could be tempting some traders into buying shares as it challenges its March low. It’s a classic scenario which could play out as a bullish double bottom pattern. But don’t expect GameStop’s short interest of 20% to blink, let alone run for cover.Not only does a weak-looking stochastics warn that buying GME stock and profiting from the pattern is a longshot, but there’s no price confirmation. On the provided weekly chart that would require an impressive bounce in its own right of nearly 50%!But even on the daily time frame, buying a volatile double bottom (if the pattern receives technical confirmation) requires too much faith in a meme stock movement that has seen its heyday and one further challenged by today’s risk-off environment.GameStop TakeawaySo if buying GameStop has the deck stacked against it, a short should make sense, right? It does. And with shares still commanding a $7.5 billion market cap and GME more than four-fold higher than 2021’s low, there’s room to play it bearishly alongside GameStop’s short interest.Appreciably, shorting GME shares remains a riskier proposition given its day-to-day volatility or the possibility of a muted short squeeze. But an out-of-the-money bear put spread can help with those types of challenges.A vertical of this kind limits and vastly reduces unwanted upside exposure if GameStop rallies. Conversely, the strategy can generate outsized profits compared to an equivalent short stock position if GME trades lower.As with anything, there’s compromises. Among other things, with this sort of strategy returns aren’t maximized until expiration. And in the interim when trying to capture profits or further minimize contained losses, GME’s volatility can make that sort of disadvantage look more significant.But ultimately, a bear put spread’s pros far outweigh the cons in trading GameStop more smartly than shorting shares.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":459036578353520,"gmtCreate":1753106179807,"gmtModify":1753106183304,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/OPEN\">$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$&nbsp;</a> lets goooo","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/OPEN\">$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$&nbsp;</a> lets goooo","text":"$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ lets goooo","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f8b7510a1548c9d2a46749c3e96eb800","width":"1122","height":"1737"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/459036578353520","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":652,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":183522839,"gmtCreate":1623336798621,"gmtModify":1704201277051,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569449221525925","idStr":"3569449221525925"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"THANKS FOR THE DIP HEDGIES!!","listText":"THANKS FOR THE DIP HEDGIES!!","text":"THANKS FOR THE DIP HEDGIES!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183522839","repostId":"1184778465","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1871,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
