It’s currently not too late. But after Q3 earnings on Dec 8th, it will be. And of course, as always, not financial advice. Just for bragging rights and
entertainment. Here goes:

Oh Elon, sorry to steal your thunder. But GME will make TSLA vol look like TLT. Jeff haunting your every accomplishment yet again.

Here's a comprehensive GME overview for all new and returning WSB-monkeys. Sit down and grab some tea. This is a long one unlike the previous @ reddit
posts.

GME Overview:

The GME story can be broken up into 2 main theses. The first is a deep value play which has credibility all on its own. The second is an infinity short
squeeze like we've never seen before in history, which has credibility all on its own. When combining the two, you get the trade of a lifetime.

A: NO. This is a fundamentally solid deep value play at its core. ‘and trading.

First let's go back a few years. We must give the shorts due credit in order to understand where we are now, GME has been profitably shorted since soppy

2013 when the market correctly bet on the digitization of video games and spread of mobile gaming. Some data here:
* GME sales have plunged from $8.5 billion in fiscal year 2011 to $6.4 billion in fiscal year 2019. oom
+ GME Annual EBITDA has dropped from $839 million in fiscal year 2011 (before the last console cycle) to only $111 million in fiscal year 2019. @
+ Net income has fallen off a cliff from $339 million in fiscal year 2011 to a staggering loss of $470 million in fiscal year 2019. WSB’s Pre-Market
* In the two most recent quarters alone, GME lost another $277 million. Talk has Moved
The shorts are betting on $0.

However, in the last 12 months, GME has shown that their terminal velocity does not lead to bankruptcy. GME has a strong balance sheet. Cash on
hand is worth over $12 a share. Net cash is worth over $5 a share and is FCF positive (nixing the bankruptcy thesis). They also paid off $125M in
debt last month just to show Moody's they are healthy due to their incoming console cycle FCF (which may lead to possible bond upgrade, enticing
more institutional investors).

So give the shorts credit. They had a legitimate case until the last 12 months, when George Sherman (CEO), Reggie Fils-Aime (ex-Nintendo, current
GME board member), and others have been conducting a phenomenally well executed turnaround.

That explains why we currently have ~70M shares short out of ~65M shares outstanding - but they’re all now caught on the wrong side of the trade.

Let's connect.
In case the severity of the short interest hasn’t hit you yet, there is a bigger market for shorting GME than the business of GME itself. This is not Click here to join us on Discord

even taking into account the long holders (Senvest, Ryan Cohen, Burry, Donald Foss, Sherman, Hestia/Permit) which takes ~25M shares out of
circulation. So short interest in reality could be around 180%+ of true float.

A true head-scratcher.
‘And a worthy opponent.
But they're wrong.

Act 2- Avengers, Assemble:

Q: Why am I so sure GME is prime to blow? Isn’t this just another meme stonk hunch driven by WSB and Michael Burry hype? How can a few online
gamblers and a few activist investors turn a dying business into a trade of a lifetime?

Couldn't the shorts be right? Also, hasn't it blown already?
A: NO AGAIN.
Let me show you the ridiculous Avengers team we have. By Avengers team, | mean all the bullish cases:

1) Ryan Cohen Earnings Thread - Daily Thread

MARKET TRADING HOURS
This guy is a crazy entrepreneur. He took on Bez0s with a pet food company (CHWY) and won. Let me repeat - he beat Jeff Amazon without AWS

subsidizing his loss leaders. Exchange Open Gose

Iron Man of the bunch, some call him the Dog-Man.

In other words, he built Markk | (CHWY) in a tiny cave with scraps all by himself with his dad, and now that he has billions, he wants to build S:00AM 8:00PM

nanotech Markk 50 (GME). Read up on this guy. He’s as crazy and as smart as they come. 9330AM 4:00PM
5:00PM 4:15PM

He also wrote a scathing letter to GME leadership, but if you read between the lines, he’s not addressing the existing board, who had only been Sap) Sas

there temporarily. He’s setting this letter up in order to potentially offer a takeover bid (rumor mill - unconfirmed).

9:00AM 3.00PM
Either way, GME leadership needs to address this letter in the Q3 earnings call on Dec 8th - which means they need to either post a good quarter, aml
provide good guidance, or add color to existing developments.

4:00PM

1 Hours respective to their own timezone.
Otherwise George Sherman (Cpt America's ass is out the door and Cohen takes over as the leader of the Avengers through a vote or buyout. Either .

of which requires shares to be recalled.

‘One more thing to note about RC. There has been no 13D/A filling since his initial purchases. Which means he is STILL IN. He has not sold a single
share.

MESSAGE THE MODS

2) GME Leadership and
youngsters:

i rdians of the Galaxy, Dr. Very Strange Burry, and the old Captain trying to fit in with the

Dr. Very Strange Burry - AKA Big Short Man. Supreme numbers aspie who might have a screw loose but is unmatched at spotting contrarian trades.
*Edit 2: BTW for those asking about his holdings drop. He's trimming to stay under 5%, but still has a large position:

* QJ: 3,000,000 shares worth $10,500,000

* Q2: 2,750,000 shares worth $11,935,000

+ Q3: 1,703,400 shares worth $17,375,000
Hestia/Permit/Senvest - Contrarian, activist investors.
Cpt George Sherman - Boomer CEO who knows what he’s doing.
Reggie Fils-Aime - Beloved ex-Nintendo President.
3) Bond repurchase

GME just bought back $125M of debt maturing in 2021. Who cares? Yes - normally this is a nothing burger even for a micro-cap, but if the shorts
are betting on $0 - this is clear evidence against that bet.

Secondly, rumor mill has it that this debt repurchase plus positive Q3 earnings/guidance will allow Moody's to upgrade their 2023 debt to A or
maybe higher.

This is HUGE because it allows institutional investors to long GME without further restrictions. In other words, they may not be allowed to long
companies with B- debt. Once this is upgraded, more buyers are allowed to come in.

Very underplayed story here.
4) TA -- When the stars and crayons align. Here’s an excerpt from our resident astrologist u/JayAreW:

Ignoring the short squeeze element of GME and just looking at chart action, there are two elements that are important to keep track of. The cup
and handle pattern and $15.80.

While my trading style is 90% technical analysis, there are certain elements which | shy away from — mainly chart patterns. However, it is
important to at least recognize the obvious ones because if vou see it. chances are others see it too. The main pattern | keen an eve out for are
Case..1:21:md-02989:CMA Document 567-54 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/07/2023 Pag

The buy signal is traditionally a breakout above the handle, and a good estimate for price target is the distance from the base of the cup to the 1 Wi
handle, added to the breakout point. A recent example of this is $JMIA (daily - figure 2). Notice not one, but two failures to break the top of the
handle and the subsequent parabolic run. Compare SJMIA with SGME and you see almost the same pattern (daily — figure 3). The traditional
buy signal would be a breach above the red line (~$15.80). The difference between $JMIA and $GME is that $JMIA was far more condensed; the
pattern played out over a period of a few months where $GME's cup and handle started in late 2019. Playing this pattern exclusively, | would
expect a price target of roughly $27, stretched out over a period of weeks/months and not as explosive as it’s African counterpart (assuming a
squeeze doesn't happen between now and then). Typically, any chart pattern calls for a retest of the breakout point, so don’t be surprised if
$GME retraces to $15.0 and look for a bounce there as confirmation that the breakout is on. The other important element is the $15.80 price
Not only is it the breakout point for the cup and handle pattern, but it coincides to a price point which | believe was a major short-selling entry
point (fig 4). Notice the nearly 20% gap down on 33 million of volume. This type of action doesn’t just happen with selling alone and | believe
massive short positions were opened on that day.

This $15.80 then represents a breaking even point for those shorts if they have not closed their positions (and we have no real reason to believe
they have). Breaking even is a huge psychological barrier for people when a trade isn’t going their way and often times represents an exit point
for crowded positions. Most of the shorts were already underwater - above $15.80 and that water begins to boil. | believe this position is
becoming borderline untenable for existing short positions and is a crowded and disastrous trade. So to recap, $15.80 not only serves as an
important chart pattern breakout point, but the proverbial “line in the sand” for existing short positions.

JeffAmazon here again: Note Jay and | don’t agree on a few major points, but are nevertheless both seeing bullish action to come very very soon.
5) Product Mix

GameStop is expanding their product mix to include monitors, PC parts, and more. GME is no longer a Disc-Drive only store (which is fine itself), but
an all-things-tech e-commerce growth start up. Or you can at least bet that’s the narrative.

GIVE ME THAT F-ING CHWY SALES MULTIPLE.
6) Three signs of a bubble: leverage, lack of liquidity, and consensus.

This is an inverse bubble - it will rise as quickly as other bubbles drop. KBIO and VW are often quoted as short squeeze examples. Those are wrong
comparisons. The only similarity is the fact that shorts were involved.

Instead, think of any other market bubble. It’s simply about leverage, lack of liquidity, and consensus. We have all 3 in GME. Everyone thinks GME
will go like BlockBuster to $0 and is using leverage to short (by definition and current Si)

So instead, think of Burry’s 2008 MBS trade, Ackman’s 2020 COVID trade, PTJ’s Black Monday Trade, or Chanos’ Enron trade.
Same thing, different direction. Will go up as fast as the others went down.
And oh boy do we lack liquidity. Crowded party, one exit.

7) Phenomenal numbers due to current console cycle.

$GME bull Rod Alzmann (Uberkikz on Stocktwits) has great breakdowns on Q4 EPS/order count due to console cycle. He tracks orders by order
number among a slew of other information here.

Check out his models. In short, we expect over $5 EPS in Q4 base case. Which is bananas.
8) MSFT Partnership gross margin

GME is getting free money from Satya Nadella.

Conservative estimate $180M, 100% margin for 2 years.

9) January and April option O1

1 in option calls for Jan and April are almost 4X that of Decembers. Is GME going to exercise the ITM calls for a squeeze? Why are they so insanely
large? Who are these buyers? WTF are they doing?

No clue. But something is about to go down.
Note put call skew isn’t that low, so no infinity gamma squeeze yet, but it will come as GME obtains meme status.
10) Most importantly, YOU.

CNBC and other misled, egoistic mass media companies and institutional investors continue, time and time again, to look down upon the new
generation of traders and laugh at WSB.

Tell me, which one of them has read all of Moody's credit reports on GME? Which one of them live streams collaborative GME DD 20+ hours a week
for 6+ months straight? Which one of them tracks order flows by the f-ing second based on skimmed CC data? Who scours r/Game
leadership is treating their employees and customers at a testimonial level? Do they even know about the bond repurchase?

p to see how

They don’t know jack s-.
Act 3 - The Trade
What more evidence do you want? Time for action.

First, the PT. u/ronoron summed it up well:

3 billion market cap (not even 0.5x of their revenues) would already leave GME at $46/share.Going back to their 2013 peak at around 6 billion
market cap would leave them at almost $100/share already, not the $56 peak/share. The algos trading still can't appreciate the fact that GME
halved its number of outstanding shares a while ago.

For comparison. Bestbuy is trading at almost ~0.7x of revenues with lower gross margins. Nordstrom is almost at 0.4x of revenues despite the
bigger liability their department stores are having through corona (never mind their uglier balance sheet). GME is still hovering just above 0.2x
revenues because stinky shorts overestimated how bad corona would be for GME (e.g. delayed console cycle, digital consoles becoming widely
popular).”

PT can easily be over $100, The JeffAmazon target is $420 which gives them about ~$25B market cap at a P/S ratio of 5, maybe 4 with console cycle
revenue. That wouldn’t even be considered an euphoric price with today’s growth stocks. For comparison, NVDA is 22, TSLA is 20, and CHWY is 5.

Timing: This all hinges on Dec 8 earnings. If GME misses (it historically has), Cohen will use this opportunity to attack leadership and take over as
CEO, Therefore, GME leadership needs to provide a great earnings report or else Sherman will lose his job.

Here's my responsible trade (do whatever you want): All in calls and shares now. If IV and $GME is sky-high before earnings, sell half to secure
profit. If GME misses and tanks, bet your bottom dollar a takeover bid will be announced shortly.

In all honesty, I'm going to probably hold everything through earnings WSB style.
My positions: 1/15/21 $30Cs, shares
(I would buy April $30Cs too, but I'm all tapped out of cash).

Shorts and longs both have their cases. Alll the cards are on the table. Which side are you on?

If | missed anything, comment and | will update above. I'm aiming to make this the final stop for all high-level GME DD.

*Edit 1: Educate yourself right now on IV crush (in short, we expect a lot of vol now, so option prices are high. After earnings, expected vol normally
decreases, so your option prices will normally drop). GME is the king of IV crush after earnings. if you're playing FDs, prepare to get destroyed like
always. Safer bets are LEAPs or FDs after earnings.

*Edit 2: All these beat earnings recently: SNE, MSFT, BBY, BBBY, NTDOY, ATVI, TTWO, JWN, M, KSS

t Good recap, and all good points.
A few quibbles: | don't view Sherman as being a great CEO... he's got a short term retail mentality, and maybe he was the right guy to at least turn
the boat in the right direction. Cohen knows the boat they're currently on is a pile of shit, though, and wants to trade it in for something a lot sexier
that can do 30 knots and not 8.
Foss is a bit of a wildcard, and I'm not sure he can be counted as a long-term holder.
As for all the rest, | think longer term holders are going to be very rewarded. I'm holding through earnings, too.

te Worth noting that Burry's position in GME is the fourth largest in his whole fund by value. Honestly that dude should be this sub's spirit animal, he

ye This is a good way to lay out the total picture of GME in one spot. But...What if Cohen organizes a takeover and wants to take the company private?
I mean at that point shares would be recalled and cause @ squeeze right?
Just wondering how that would affect the PT if he offered to buy all shares at $x amount. (That would send it to vote right?)
Sorry I'm probably an idiot
500 shares 1/21 5x 15c, 10x 20/c, 40x 30c 4/21 10x 20c, 10x 30c

t Ihave no historical precedent for this. If you find it let me know. Option premiums should exist until expiration though,

t: This guy theorizes about it, obviously he knows jack shit if Cohen will take it private. He basically says the squeeze would be inevitable

“If Ryan Cohen will take GameStop private it will need to be at least $20/share for all the other activist investors (Michael Burry, Hestia Capital and
Permit Capital) to make a good profit. They bought at higher prices than him. Besides, it will be impossible for him to own 50% of the shares and
will require their collaboration along with the board

In June, there was a proxy fight on GameStop and about 10% of shares were recalled. In order to take the company private, all shares will need to
be recalled and a short squeeze will be inevitable.”

t [1 bagel_makers74 Swift with Stock 14 points 2 yes
In reference to number 10 - 100% - if you are trying to be a successful investor and are not comfortable with staying away from the crowd and being

confident; good luck.

CNBC, Schwab, Martketwatch and all those "buy ratings” suddenly start making a WHOLE lot less sense when you've got the stocks story
understood and then look outside for further info and see the conclusion others reached

They either have no idea what they are talking about, or are basically trying to dump/prop the price so they can enter/exit.

| just saw a big bank (JPM?) Recommending that NKLA is a clear buy now; because according to them, without the badger truck and now knowing
the details of the lack-luster GM deal, NKLA can focus on their amazing truck technology and stop wasting their time on personal vehicles; because
that was clearly their problem.

Straight up fraudulent.
