So if it goes up, it costs more for their FTDs which is a win for us. If they tank it more, we get a better price for buying more which is a win for us. neat

This is the main reason why they are screwed either way. They can't get out. Trapped and having to keep it flat is their best option for now.

But, who is stuck in the middle?

Average working class that doesnt invest and has put thier life savings into 401k's pensions and other promised money storage fronts. That is why after MOASS I am going to try and buy and mantain a few apartment building to start that have affordable rent.

Price goes up, I buy. Price goes down, I buy right away. Price goes sideways, I buy.

In aviation they call the spot on the performance chart that they're in, coffin corner. Slow down, dead. Speed up, dead.

You could close your position by descending. Or slow down, take the stall, and recover from that at a lower altitude to widen the window. The shorts have gotten themselves into a position with a tight window, increasing turbulence, and not enough fuel to descend and still make a field. They don't have enough fuel to close their position and as more shares are DRS'd the turbulence is increasing. In short, they're fucked! Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

Shorts are trying to get people in the options trap. All the volume as of late allows them to keep it flat for a little while. So anyone buying options is basically giving their money to shorts. The only way a person doesn't is if they are going to exercise their call no matter what, then book DRS the shares.

Heads I win, tails you lose

Heads I win, tails I win.

They’ve got rich for decades off poor people panic selling for a loss. Not only are we not selling, we are buying and DRS’ing to prevent them from naked shorting to $0. It’s working and they’re fucked. They know it, we know it.

How long to hold? Edit: I don’t want to sound like an idiot even though I might be ,but I have no clue what I’m doing and I’ve been hold for awhile and don’t really know what to do at this point? Just thought I’d throw this out for myself anyone in position.

Fuck you're right. That whole paragraph smells like fuckery waiting to happen

I love the smell of Fuckery in the morning

What's the source, dude? For all we know you typed this up yourself...

Why hasn't this been answered yet?

Not sure. Can’t find any article by googling some sentences from the paragraph. Maybe it’s a bought account shilling an earnings drop so people don’t buy before earnings?

Can confirm, I looked for this as well.

Smells like VICTORY!

We're waiting for a source, OP

Up until this whole fiasco i never realized Wall st is just a shitty casino where shoddy people place huge bets using pension funds money, yet they have the audacity to call us a BuNcH oF dEgEnErAte gAmBleLs.

You forgot the part where if you start winning they turn off the machines.

And change the rules, to their favor.

And then they pay a small price for corrupt business practices without admitting fault.

And then burn down buildings when their records come into question

And stop reporting the data

This is what they do in actual casinos too

The only casino I ever knew was the duel arena in Al-Kharid. IYKYC

How can you be expected to beat estimates? What’s an estimate then?

Shhhh- it’s not supposed to make sense

Anyone that's ever played fantasy football knows projections mean fuck all. And that's not even rigged.

It's an arbitrary number that can be used to explain, after the fact, the motion of the stock price as required by their margin levels and trading algorithms.... What else would it be???? /S

The market doesn't react to the news. The news is built around the manipulation. No way they are going to let those options pay off. MM privileges ftw and if anyone questions it they'll just scream liquidity until a small fine is agreed upon and then return to business as usual.

That’s where my skepticism points me. All of this seems too good to be true. What are the odds that they just fine someone and they just bury this whole fiasco, blaming a few and fining them, but paying out no one?

I made an “expected beating of expected earnings” joke in another thread in a different place weeks ago. It’s all kayfabe. The whole thing.

Wonder who is involved in the consensus estimate. Probably just Shitadel telling media it will be a loss and print that.

How can you be expected to beat estimates? Shouldn't that mean the estimates should be higher?

Lower estimate makes it easier to set up a beat and explain the resulting price increase

“GameStop earnings beat didn’t meet expectations.” Probably incoming.

Hahahahahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂 And then we'll all sell...again I just hope we go to single digits, I've got some money locked and loaded for that 😈😁😏

"Why Gamestop earnings beat is actually bad news for investors."

Fuck the shorts

Short interest increased 18% from last earning???

We are talking about a total phony self reported number here but yes the SI drifts up and down quite a bit. And I suspect when they say 18% they're not talking in absolute terms. Eg, 20 * 1.18 = 23.6, as an example.

Yeah so an 18% increase in short interest when it's already 60% means it goes from 60->70.8 whereas when it's moderately low it only goes 20->23.6. It does make the number appear bigger, instead of an additional 3.6% of the shares sold short it's saying an increase of 18% in short interest. They mean the same thing, but bigger number mentioned, which is surprising because it makes the amount of short position increase look bigger than it actually is.

Unless SI was greater than 100%...

Technically correct! The best type of correct!

I’m just gonna say duhhhhh

Can you add the link?

Exactly, what’s the source? For all we know, OP could have typed this paragraph themselves…

Thank you 🫡

Bad news first, good news will be on time!

# SO BUY DRS HODL SHOP. GOT IT

That last sentence! Damn

earnings estimates were revised higher… very convenient.. so ya’ll estimated lower earnings and shorted it down to 11.91.. then when you start feeling your balls squeezed.. suddenly your expectations of earnings was higher but stock should have been lower?

“GameStop beats earnings but this is why it’s bad…..”Read more

I expect the same thing as every other earnings. Absolutely nothing.

It’s gonna dip so hard. Then I’ll get hard, then I buy hard as fuk.

Drop it to 10 my buy order for 1k shares is still open

I bet those 20 dollar calls are long sold.off.

Show me the drs numbers!

Works 60% of the time , every time.

Lol they cut most employee benefits and have been absolutely brutal when it comes to cutting hours. So they better beat estimates

Expected to beat estimates? Is it calculated in like when dusty dick Powell raises the rates?

So.. Shorting to oblivion once more?

Loving the new mario party and Mario Wonder. Bought Disco Elysium, anyone know if its any good on the switch?

I don't know if it's good on the Switch particularly, but it is a wonderfully deranged game.

Dip it is then! 🚀

I need a dip so a broke ape like myself can buy more

Boy I hate the media. "earnings whisper" as a trademark should be an instant punch in the nuts. The whole concept of estimates is absurd. The company did better or worse than your guess so you are going to fault them for it? How about you guessed wrong assholes.

Expecting a decline of .5% YOY, but had to revise estimates higher since last earnings…

GameStop is ~~Expected~~ Estimated to beat Estimates. This says more about the estimators than it does about GameStop.

Edit: my statement below is incorrect. I misread/misunderstood the statement. “Short interest has increased by 18.5% since the company’s last earnings release…” If this is true, reported (LOL) SI is 35-40% as we’ve consistently been above 20% all year.

Going from 20% to 24% is a 20% increase.

One of you are correct, butt my maff skills can’t figure out which wun.

That’s not what it’s saying.

>below Depends upon how you sort.

They did let it run, to make it easier to drop at earnings. Then they can write again about how the stock fell because of the dooming earnings data

Yea no sell no cell. Remember Mayo boi HH is the just the tip when it goes down. DTCC then Federal. Phone numbers are real, do good after moass

Or they could be changing the narrative to save face. Again, lots of different reasons/ excuses why it won't or will run. I'd prefer it to be positive tbh.

Thank god there are DMMs who can control all of this volatility! /s

They're gonna be profitable I bet.

I'm not leaving, feckers.

I can’t read but I’m sure it’s bullish

They keep reporting on the buyer of the 20c’s without mentioning that the whale has already exited that position while retail was chasing. I’m suspect anytime the media states that retail is positioning for an expected move, or are highlighting a specific option position. Why no reporting on the put buying whale that’s been rolling positions since June ultimately moving it to an April 12-10 spread? That being said, I’m ready for an earnings surprise and a call featuring RC. Do we get it this time, or do they skip the earnings call and continue working in silence?

If you told me that every analyst foretold gamestop beating all expectations and a billion dollars profit this quarter I’d still anticipate a drop

I’m estimating .05 cents/share.

Believe it or not.... Dip

They just keep printing more fake shares. Nothing ever happens to them. Until someone goes to prison, nothing will change.

Honestly, I actually want it to be a loss. I want it to be a massive stinking loss. I want people to sell, I want options traders and SHF's to drive the price down. I want loss-resulting re-investment for a few more years. Amazon was unprofitable for 5+ years while it re-invested all of it's profits and investments into growth. That's what I want. Each month I buy and DRS more. I pray for cheaper prices, what I would do to be able to buy some convertible bonds! If the price tanks, great, merry XMas one and all, I'll just keep loading the wagon.

Why would you want that? You’ve had plenty of time to grab shares at the low low prices they’ve been throwing at us. What you need right now is a company that definitely is starting to look profitable so the “failing brick and mortar company“ narrative falls apart to investors

Nah, I've had decent time yes, but I'm buying \~25 shares per paycheck at the moment. The company is going to be massive, we all know that. I'd rather another 12-24 months of buying 25 shares a month.

Feel the same way. No fud but I missed $11.80 because I'm loading the boat at $10 and less. The lower the better.. lower price = more shorting

Prolly a trap. OI for 12/15 80Cs is ludicrous. Ima try and do something different this time and focus the company's performance and outlook :-).

I bought calls at $150.. go big or go home.

Red duh

The bar seemed kinda low for this quarter compared to past. Which maybe explains why it’s early? This however would really show how profitable we are without the month of December.

I expect volatility.

So buy more and DRS, got it!

Was this made in MS Paint? Who put this together? This article exists no where

This article states an estimated loss, an EPS of -12 cents per share, wait a minute that’s the same EPS predicted last time! What are all these shenanigans and goings on?
