Honestly as a dumbass still holding worthless empty bags labeled GME, I hate Ryan Cohen almost as much as I hate Musk.

I just wish I was paying attention the day it climbed back up to 60$, I would have sold for a small profit in a hurry...

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Same same same same same.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's a bad sign that you know the CEO's name.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You didn't answer my question, just downvoted. Are you retarded? You'd have to be to leave that comment in reply to mine on this thread.

You're on a first name basis, even a parasocial relationship with the CEO of Gamestop despite never having met him. Who here is intellectually deficient?

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

God damn. That's honestly one of the dumbest fucking takes I've seen, and we're living in Trump 2.0. You're impressively unintelligent.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 minutes ago

Says the guy who's passionate and on a first name basis with the CEO of a game store chain.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

So just to be clear, you think it's crazy that I know a name from the article? That's what you're saying? Definitely retarded.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

Are you retarded? Honestly I don't even want to expand on that, are you retarded??

[–] Coldmoon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Damn dude, diamond hands or broken hands?

I was locked into FOMO and sunk cost fallacy, I'm now trying to get these scumbags at Computershare to give me my shares back so I can sell them.

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oof, you went full DRS. Not judging, I probably would've sone the same if I got in late.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it's an embarrassment I have to live with forever. The person who got me and my friends into it doesn't talk to my group anymore and I think it's out of shame. I, in turn, feel shame not only for my part in participation in the market, but for convincing others to buy shares as well.

Fucking thing sucks, I want my money back Ryan, you cock.

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

TBF it was a good idea to buy, just required the caveat that you should've sold in January. I somehow timed my exit well, then proceeded to plough a stupid amount into another meme srock which now sits at -48k, a good reminder that gambling is for idiots. Like me.

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah let me know if you ever figure that out :\

[–] Coldmoon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Man, that really sucks. I’m sorry to hear that. I had it happen to me once with $SLV.

The stock price is not declining, and is up for the year. What's the problem?
