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.”

@GameStopHelp I’ve been buying all of my Cardsmiths currency boxes from GameStop and then sending them into PSA through GameStop including the GameStop exclusive boxes. Yet GameStop doesn’t offer to buy or credit any of the high end 8’s, 9’s or 10’s. Why? Thanks!
@alexpardee is there any way to add a few more Junior, Jr, Jr. cards to my existing order? I will send you the order number in an email if this is possible. Got 6 but THERE ARE STILL SOME LEFT 🤤 or do I make a whole new order and pay shipping again? Any advise would be great! 🖤
@PleasrDAO I stack n hodl DRS and class a. Even added #GME to the 👐 final chamberTC.When you guys first dropped this, I was in, had it, but had it on the back burner to listen. Maybe got an NFT version of what you released? Been a minute.. but it seems I’m unable to find and listen to it.
@gamestop@ryancohen Also, s-tier card and auto collection being brought to these stores. Over 1k combination of sports, currency, Pokémon to be slabbed! Started with a trail run at ea store. This works as intended we should all be happy. 🐰
@gamestop@ryancohen the stores in my town are popping off year round. I’d like to nominate them for being knowledgeable, polite, interested, helpful, squared away, to name a few. As a pro member since 2006, I like the stock and that cute book. May I dm you the Location and further details
I’m bringing these 100 new paintings to @DesignerCon. I painted them with genuine eye-blood but I used it all so now I need to sell these for money to buy more blood. It’s a risky cycle. Come visit my booth at Designer Con this weekend.

@alexpardee I’m using my phone a friend right now. I got to the website as soon as the email dropped for the Garfield’s and on 3 different occasions while checking out I got a pop up saying sold out already… with that being said, I had to take a panic dump, is that normal? Thanks in advance
