eBay spent $2.53 billion on marketing in ttm for customer acquisition to remain completely FLAT.
With one budgeting decision the company could retain this cash and regain roughly 20-25% of revenues. Every single eBay shareholder should be screaming for this.
@VigeantF53562 Interesting, I've never heard the argument that generating income from cash on hand makes the income somehow 'tainted'... ๐ค So do you specifically stay away from companies with diversified income, or you just consider those boring investments?
I have an investing buddy who doesn't believe me when I tell him GameStop is severely undervalued. He won't even look at the numbers. It's a block in his brain. He decided years ago it was a meme stock barely holding on for dear life, and hasn't considered it since. I have since increased my exposure to $GME to be 30% of my portfolio. And honestly, I hope it goes even lower, I'll buy even more. It's a value home run. It's a management home run. And the fact that the market hates it, just means the rubber band will wind tighter and snap back more dramatically. If you're reading this, you likely already agree with this sentiment. But if you don't, tell me why. Convince me I'm wrong.

Proposal 4 is a shareholder proposal on eBayโs 2026 proxy (annual meeting June 17). It asks the board to amend bylaws so holders of just 10% of shares (or the lowest % allowed by state law) can call a special shareholder meeting, with easier online access and fewer restrictions.
eBayโs current threshold is 20% (recently reduced from 25%). The Board recommends voting **AGAINST** it, saying 20% is market-standard, prevents small groups from forcing costly meetings on narrow issues, and that existing rights (proxy access, engagement, annual elections) already give shareholders plenty of voice. Similar proposals previously got >47% support.
$clov Conrad Wai, CEO of Counterpoint Health sold 220,426 shares yesterday at $3.99, which likely contributed to the pullback. If it helps anyone, it seems this sale was part of a pre-established sell agreement and not a spontaneous dump of shares. ๐คท
