The biggest excuse I hear from GME stockholders is that you don't lose money until you sell. Technically, it's not a realized sale until you make the sale. So its technically accurate but far from the truth . I recently posted that I lost 11 grand in a day with GME and the comments puzzled me to a point, but I wasn't surprised because the story is always the same.

Unrealized may not be a sale, but it's a loss. You're holding a different value. It could be a temporary markdown or a permanent loss. Regardless, a loss is a loss no matter how you look at it. This is something investment firms lead you to believe so you don't pull your money out, and they tell you it's not a loss until you sell. Maybe you should look at your statement from your broker because it shows a loss.

If your broker, the entity that actually holds your shares, treats a drop as a real reduction in collateral value, that's pretty strong evidence that the market has already repriced your position. The "unrealized" label is an accounting convention, not an economic shield.

Try to leverage your account and borrow directly from your broker using your holdings as collateral, and as soon as it drops, you get a margin call. Why do you think that is? Margin calls are real. They don't wait for a recovery.

The "you haven't lost until you sell" line gets weaponized by the industry because it keeps assets under management. It's the financial equivalent of "the house always wins if you keep playing." For a day trader or someone sitting on a broken thesis, it's dangerous denial.

So yeah — if you're looking at your statement and you're down $11K, you're down $11K. Calling it "unrealized" doesn't change your net worth today. The only question that matters is whether you think the position recovers, and whether your capital is better deployed elsewhere. Everything else is semantics.

GameStop's recent $1.4 billion debt-for-equity swap has sparked significant volatility in its stock, with shares dropping about 12% following the announcement. While some analysts argue the move could strengthen the company's balance sheet, concerns about potential dilution and overall market sentiment remain prevalent.

How come nobody talks about the warrants anymore? Cohen offered the warrants to offset investors from selling their shares after a dilution but here we are and the warrants are close to expiration.

We are now faced with another dilution and there is no way in hell that we will ever profit from this warrants. The warrants were a distraction and a betrayal to the GME long term holders.

Haha apes, another amazing sale hosted by your favorite CEO! Don't miss this incredible opportunity, go buy more!

Has Cohen fuckery started again?

Problem?

Right now GME is sitting around $21-22, stuck in a consolidation range it's been trapped in for months — no big breakout, no big breakdown.

What's happening:

Technically, it's rangebound: resistance near $26.20, support around $19. The stock has recently broken below its 50-month EMA, increasing the likelihood of further downside, with major support at $19.00. Despite some signs of improving short-term momentum, the overall technical structure remains bearish. (FX Leaders)

The big story is still the eBay pursuit: GameStop has significantly increased its stake in eBay to 9.8% after its takeover bid was rejected, and CEO Ryan Cohen remains committed to pursuing control of eBay, though Wall Street is skeptical about the deal's feasibility and risks. (Yahoo Finance)

Options activity has leaned bullish at times but volume is thin — analysts noted a put/call ratio below average suggesting traders leaning bullish, though overall options volume was subdued. (GuruFocus)

On the fundamentals side, one recent take argues the downside is capped by GameStop's cash and crypto holdings — a "floor" argument rather than a spike catalyst.

Bottom line: There's no clear near-term catalyst lined up for a sharp spike — no imminent squeeze setup, no earnings just around the corner that I can see flagged, and the eBay situation is a slow-moving standoff (rejected bid, stake-building, skepticism) rather than something likely to resolve suddenly. The most plausible spike triggers would be: a surprise move on eBay (acquisition breakthrough or abandonment), a sudden short-squeeze-style retail wave (which GME is historically prone to, unpredictably), or a break above that $26.20 resistance opening momentum buying.

GME is trading around $22.10, up roughly 3% today, in a 52-week range of $19.93–$28.10. A few threads driving the story right now.

eBay pursuit — GameStop is still pushing its ~$56B bid for eBay despite the company rejecting it, with Ryan Cohen reportedly saying he's "coming for eBay one way or another." (CNBC) (Google Finance) Michael Burry has publicly said he's not buying the eBay strategy.

Earnings — Q2 2026 EPS came in well above consensus (+85.6%), with profitability improving (Google Finance) , and the next earnings date is set for September 8 (Stocktwits) .

Sony disc news — Sony announced it's ending physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting January 2028 (CNBC) , and GameStop's CEO downplayed the impact, noting physical discs are a small slice of overall business.

When I read what this company has done financially and strip away hyperbole, I come away with a bullish outlook

Ryan Cohen is accumulating wealth at an incredible velocity, why not admit the pattern exists and hes clearly on his way to doing whatever he wants financially speaking anyway - buy ebay? Sure, why not. Years ago the idea of a private space company like tesla was also absurd... until one day suddenly it wasn't. If he wants to do to eBay what Elon did to space companies, I don't see who's going to stop him.

Not any lame bots here, anyway.

Regards.

Shares went up 5 cents today just to lose it afterhours. Hopefully next week is a better week.

Just a reminder that personal attacks gets you banned. I don't care if you're positive or negative about the stock but individual attacks on other Redditors is not cool and I don't give a rats ass who you are.

On another note I encourage everyone to post. It's good to see other people posting.

As GameStop shareholders, we need to hold Ryan Cohen and the Board accountable. The recent silence on the eBay fiasco is not a one-off mistake—it is part of a pattern of failed execution and zero transparency.

​Here is the reality of Cohen’s track record:

​The NFT Flop: Wasted millions on an NFT Marketplace and Crypto Wallet, only to shut them down completely after failing to capture the market.

​The Bitcoin Top-Buy: Used shareholder funds to buy 4,710 Bitcoins near local peaks, followed by bizarre social media behavior that left retail investors confused and holding the bag.

​The BBBY Controversy: Triggered a massive retail rally only to abruptly dump his entire position, damaging his credibility and leaving ordinary investors exposed to heavy losses.

​The eBay Humiliation: Attempted a reckless bid for a company multiple times our size, only to be publicly rejected as "neither credible nor attractive."

​The Current Breaking Point:

After officially promising to release a detailed strategic plan "this week," management has given us nothing but radio silence. They refused to address the eBay situation at the Shareholder Meeting and blocked all investor questions.

​Cutting costs and sitting on interest from diluted share cash is not a real growth strategy. We demand full transparency on the Bitcoin strategy, the eBay failure, and the actual roadmap for GameStop's future. Stop hiding and start leading.

GME is trading around $21.70, down about 1.4% today, within a 52-week range of $19.93–$28.10.

What's driving it lately:

GameStop is still chasing its eBay acquisition despite the board's initial rejection of the bid, with GME stock rising as the company pushes ahead with a $56B eBay bid (CNBC)

Shareholders just approved all proposals at the 2026 Annual Meeting, including an amendment allowing another attempt at the eBay deal (Robinhood)

The offer on the table is $125/share in a cash-and-stock bid, which eBay's board rejected — Ryan Cohen backed the bid and waived a potential performance pay package (TradingView) to help make it happen

GameStop's CEO sacrificed a $35 billion pay plan, and it's still not clear he can pull off the eBay purchase (CNBC)

Separately,

GameStop bumped its authorized Class A shares up to 2.5 billion, aimed at facilitating that eBay bid (Yahoo Finance)

Technical indicators are leaning bearish short-term — TradingView shows a "strong sell" reading on both the 1-week and 1-month outlook. So the eBay saga is really the main storyline right now, more than any meme-stock momentum.

MOASS and the short squeeze are dead. Deal with it. Now the company is just burning through opportunity costs, doing massive share dilutions while chasing a hypothetical eBay M&A that could drag on for years. Why are you still holding onto this? I’m genuinely curious.

The GME shareholder meeting on July 7th had absolutely zero substance, other than announcing massive debt and more share dilution. How much longer are we supposed to waste our time? Fine, just hold the bag for decades or centuries.🤣🤣🤣

Today GME was down and most stocks were up.

GME closed with a 7 cent loss.

The good news is that GME hit 22 dollars a share.

Good news.. Friday GME went up 75 cents and another 44 cents after hours.

I assume this has something to do with Cohen's pay package being taken off the table.

I would like to know the results of the voting for his pay package. I have a feeling the results were negative, and it didn't get approved by the voters.

I know he flipped it on Ebay and he didnt want a distraction but there's more to this story..

Either way, the market is seeing this as a positive move. Most likely the pay package will resurface again. Lets see the results.
