Sat down with Ryan Cohen, CEO of GameStop, to discuss his early starts in business, why he took a stake in GameStop 5 years ago, and why Ebay deserves a new home.

Thank you to @ryancohen for taking the time!

Your Bell is safe. Your job is here when you get back. See you in February. 🇺🇸🫡

Staying married, a happy household, evidence of the parents working hard, childhood sports and watch all competitions, lots of hugs, reward merit, punish only egregious misbehavior, don't yell, restrict social media, monitor messages through 8th grade, the real expectation is college and academic excellence without pressure from parents, get children reading books early, no pacifiers, respond to needs not wants, babies sleep on their own through the night by 6 months, identify develop and support any talent or aptiude, one sport after age 10 is ok, communicate openly and easily with kids through grade 12, allow mistakes, and leave them alone in college. And then hope.

Ryan Cohen: “Why Does Everyone Want GameStop to Fail?”

$GME CEO @ryancohen:

“The media is an example. Why is it that you've got a ($EBAY) management team with no skin in the game, they're not builders, they haven't built anything themselves before, they've basically just been employees at major companies, they’ve been overpaid, I don't think they've ever broken out a sweat in their entire lives, why does everyone want them to succeed?

But when you have someone that, and by the way, I'm putting $500M of my own money into this transaction, I haven't pulled a penny out of GameStop, and it seems like everyone in the media basically wants us to fail, and wants them to succeed.

And you've got a board that's making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. They don't buy stock with their own money. They end up showing up to a handful of board meetings, and they're making a fortune. You've got a management team that is grossly overpaid, taking zero risk.

There's nothing more American than basically risking your own capital. So why does everyone want us to fail?

@friedberg:

“I do think that the media, in order to give you credibility, they're gonna have to acknowledge that all of their takes on GameStop just being a meme stock were wrong, and that there is actually a business here, and that there is value being created here, and that they missed that, and they got the story completely wrong.”

BREAKING: EBAY insider Boone Cornelius reported an open-market SALE of 31,100 shares of eBay common stock for $3,411,359.

The "Chief People Officer" (🤣🤣) and "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives Officer" now has net $10.7M of common stock sales and a whopping $0 worth of purchases.

PATHETIC. $GME

I just bought $6.98 worth of eBay stock

That's more than the entire eBay board of directors bought in the past 5 years combined

Let that sink in

[Rich Bartuc @Furu_Bartuc]

@obelicks @gamestop I could barely believe it myself

Another 50,000 @ebay shares sold today

Ebay executives selling them as soon as they get them

💥 Did you know that if you spent $1 on $EBAY stock right now, you’d have shown more conviction in that public company than anyone currently serving on their board or as an executive officer has since February 2021?

In over 22 years, a total of 14 eBay insiders have purchased less than 150,000 split-adjusted shares on the open market, according to https://t.co/PdA313KbuD

Only two of those people are still considered insiders:

Paul S. Pressler, Chairman of the Board
+ 5,140 shares at $29.12 on 11/30/2015
+ 4,180 shares at $23.94 on 2/1/2016
= 9,320 shares total; $249,746 invested on the open market

Logan Green, Director
+ 1,000 shares at $28.32 on 11/3/2016
+ 902 shares at $69.23 on 2/9/21
= 1,902 shares total; $90,765.46 invested on the open market

On 5/1/2026, GameStop bought 2.23x more shares than the entire current eBay board has ever purchased with their own money, according to SEC filings.

Your leaders should put their money where their mouth is.

I bought 1 share of $EBAY earlier this month.

That means I’ve bought more shares than the people running the company have in the last 5 years combined.
