1. Stockholders tend to dislike conglomerates, which Skydance very much is as a videogame/comicbook/cable/news/movie/etc. company. There have been more than a few case studies of how firms that spin off parts of itself (I believe the most famous one is one where a biosciences firm spun off a pharmaceutical wing) and the resulting market cap of the two firms is greater than the market cap of the original firm. 2. Zaslav was already able to get the Ellisons (and Netflix earlier on) to pay a LOT for the firm at a higher multiple than Warner had enjoyed for years. There was no guarantee the ParaBros firm would hit the number combined with Paramount's number. 3. Paramount wasn't exactly a basket of roses before the merger and Warner has been passed around like a hot potato for a while, so merging two problematic companies that both already had tons of debt in a year where neither had much market success in film (*maybe Dune 3?*) or much of elsewhere means the firm was always going to have a rough start. The question is if it can stabilize into something better, probably by selling off some of its parts, spinning off some of the problematic pieces (which Warner was planning to do *anyway*), and whatever or if the whole thing is going to get sold again- in whole or for parts.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. Sounds simple but A LOT of people ignore this sa land transactions. You can ask every court in the country. Ito talaga yung classic case na "nasa huli ang pagsisisi." Pag andyan na ang issue at kaso, atsaka na lang maiisip na "bakit ba kasi hindi na lang naming ginawang honest at transparent yung transaction dati." Please. If the seller is proposing dishonest schemes like that FOR ANY REASON (idadahilan nila na for tax purposes daw, para makamura, etc.), isipin lagi na "SA ANONG MGA TRANSAKSYON PA SILA WILLING MAGING DISHONEST?" Save yourself the headache and heartache of DECADES of litigation. Just say "honest dealing, or no deal at all, period." Please.

So do you feel that because YOU don't have an answer to these problems, and that maybe nobody does, today, that mankind will NEVER be able to overcome them? I do see that you suggest 100 years to revisit the question, what if we come up with answers next week? Next year? Every major accomplishment in recorded history has a LOT of people that say the same thing right before it happened.

NVDA alone doesn't tell the story. It's up roughly 20% in the last 12 months, sure, but over a ~3-5 year period? Way, way higher. But NVDA is growing revenue AND profit, which is rare right now in the sector. Why? Because it's selling the shovels for the gold rush. Even then, through circular financing, it is under-writing a lot of the companies buying it's GPUs, which is troubling in itself, but can also explain some of their revenue growth. Now to the broader AI play... That's where the bubble is. Put simply, the cost of AI is far, far outstripping the revenue. Not by a bit, by A LOT. Some would argue that (like dotcom or AWS) the capex is to drive revenue growth and will pay back X-fold over the mid-long term. But that's not how the tech works, their main expense items aren't scaling (and likely won't ever) to support revenue growth. - they are pumping billions into DC build outs and stocking them with GPUs that have a very short life (2-3 years), that won't generate the revenue to justify payback - even then, roughly half their computing power goes into model development and training. They try to argue that's R&D and will diminish over time, but it's hard to see how this isn't an operational expense - I.e. if they stop training models, they become less useful or obsolete (model drift)... - then there's inference... What they generally claim they're profitable on. If we discount those first two massive expense items, we are profitable when we offer up our models to users as the cost of their use covers the cost of the compute used to serve them. Sure, but you can't ignore the first two. And, the more people use your models, the more compute you need, I.e. it's not scaling. Don't look at NVDA to be the bellwether for the bubble. There are lots of pets.com examples out there. Last week, in Australia, Firmus pulled an IPO priced in the 10's of billions for a company making $50m in revenue and no profit that had two DC leases and a bunch of ambitious plans, nothing more. To me that's an early indicator that the bubble is starting to deflate as people start to realise the math isn't mathing.

thats just some usual anti-ai bullshit you can be a LOT faster and still retain high quailty whats happening in the article is separate from what AI can or cant do and it can definitely speed up work significantly when used correctly

**October 16, 2026 | Insider Buying Deep Dive** YO WHAT UP EVERYBODY!!! 🍻 Okay, so we’ve been digging through some GameStop SEC filings. You know, the exciting stuff. Spreadsheets, insider transactions, ownership percentages. Real Friday afternoon entertainment. 😂 And we noticed something. Actually, a few things… We all KNOW Ryan Cohen has been buying GME aggressively. But when I started lining up his purchases, comparing them with the other directors, and looking back at his historical ownership filings… I am over here like “**DUDE. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!”** and need some help from y’all! I spy repeating 11-day patterns, nearly identical purchase quantities, every director buying shares, and an ownership percentage that seems to be moving right back toward its previous level. (Oh, and there’s THAT October 30 deadline approaching) **LET’S DIG IN.** 👀 🚀 **TL;DR FOR THE IMPATIENT** Here’s what I’ve found: Ryan Cohen purchased **4,144,810 GME shares for approximately $97.19 MILLION** between September 10 and October 13. Four of his purchase dates fall exactly **11 calendar days apart**. And the September 29 purchase looks like an interruption until you compare the share quantities.. **ALL FIVE CURRENT GAMESTOP DIRECTORS** purchased shares between September 8 and October 13. Combined purchases total approximately **$99.18 MILLION**. Cohen’s beneficial ownership dropped from **9.3% in January to 8.3% in September**, despite him selling ZERO shares. His October 13 SEC filing shows ownership back up to **9.1%**. Under the current warrant-inclusive calculation, approximately **1.04 MILLION additional shares** would bring him back near 9.3%. GameStop’s **$32 warrants expire October 30**, which could significantly change the ownership math. **MY THEORY: Cohen might be deliberately rebuilding his ownership percentage after dilution.** And MAYBE the timing of his purchases is worth watching too. 🃏 **PART 1: FOLLOW THE MONEY** First, let’s look at Cohen’s actual purchases. These are SEC-reported open-market transactions. **Date** **Shares** **Avg. Price** **Total** Sep 10 1,000,000 $20.3759 $20.38M Sep 21 1,150,680 $22.9375 $26.39M Sep 29 450,000 $23.4751 $10.56M Oct 2 700,000 $24.4061 $17.08M Oct 13 844,130 $26.9801 $22.77M **TOTAL** **4,144,810** **$23.4492 VWAP** **$97.19M** **NINETY-SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.** In 33 calendar days. And notice something about the prices. $20.38. $22.94. $23.48. $24.41. $26.98. **HIGHER AND HIGHER.** Now, Insiders can be wrong too. But when a CEO keeps committing that kind of capital at progressively higher prices, we should want to understand their reasoning. Especially when the purchase dates start looking like this… 🃏 **PART 2: ELEVEN. FREAKING. DAYS.** Look at the dates. **SEPTEMBER 10 → SEPTEMBER 21 → OCTOBER 2 → OCTOBER 13** Count them. Sep 10 to Sep 21 = **11 days** Sep 21 to Oct 2 = **11 days** Oct 2 to Oct 13 = **11 days** Three consecutive intervals. Exactly 11 calendar days each. HAHAHAHA! COME ON! Financial markets are full of patterns that look meaningful in hindsight. But this one was interesting enough that I kept digging. And then I noticed September 29. 👀 **WHAT ABOUT SEPTEMBER 29?** That purchase seemingly disrupts the pattern. Cohen bought 450,000 shares on September 29, eight days after September 21 and three days before October 2. Okay, fine. But look at the NUMBER of shares. **September 21: 1,150,680 shares** Now combine his next two buying dates: September 29: 450,000 shares October 2: 700,000 shares **COMBINED: 1,150,000 SHARES** Difference from September 21? **JUST 680 SHARES.** That’s approximately **0.06%**. HAHA. WHAT?! Two purchase blocks with almost identical totals. Could September 29 and October 2 represent a purchase objective divided between trading sessions? Maybe. Could it be a coincidence? Absolutely… But I found it interesting enough to put on the board. And then I looked at the OTHER INSIDERS. 🐱 **PART 3: IT’S NOT JUST RYAN COHEN** GameStop currently has five directors: Ryan Cohen. Alain Attal. Larry Cheng. Jim Grube. Nat Turner. **EVERY SINGLE ONE PURCHASED SHARES DURING THIS PERIOD.** Here’s the timeline. **Date** **Insider** **Shares** Sep 8 Larry Cheng 55,000 Sep 9 Jim Grube 10,255 Sep 10 Alain Attal 5,000 Sep 10 Ryan Cohen 1,000,000 Sep 21 Alain Attal 17,500 Sep 21 Ryan Cohen 1,150,680 Sep 29 Ryan Cohen 450,000 Oct 1 Nat Turner 10,462 Oct 2 Ryan Cohen 700,000 Oct 13 Ryan Cohen 844,130 **TOTAL: 4,243,027 SHARES PURCHASED.** **APPROXIMATELY $99.18 MILLION.** Now, let’s be fair here. Cohen accounts for almost 98% of that dollar amount. The other directors are making much smaller purchases. But I find the widespread participation intriguing. These are people involved in overseeing the company, making actual purchases rather than simply receiving stock compensation. And look at Attal. **September 10: Cohen AND Attal buy.** **September 21: Cohen AND Attal buy AGAIN.** Exactly 11 days apart. Same dates. Same two insiders. Interesting, right? **AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME.** Let’s rewind. **JANUARY 2026** Jan 20: Cohen buys 500,000 shares. Jan 20: Attal buys 12,000 shares. Jan 21: Cohen buys another 500,000 shares. Jan 21: Attal buys another 12,000 shares. Jan 23: Cheng buys 5,000 shares. **APRIL 2025** Apr 3: Cohen buys 500,000 shares. Apr 3: Cheng buys 5,000 shares. Apr 10: Attal buys 10,000 shares. Multiple periods of clustered insider buying. And yes, GameStop experienced meaningful price increases following those earlier periods. In January 2026, a notable upward move developed over roughly the following week or two. In April 2025, there was a more immediate reaction and then a considerably larger rally by late May. Now, there were other catalysts and the sample is small, but buying AFTER a rally has already begun is different from buying before one starts. And when we combine it with the ownership filings… Now THAT’S where things get SPICY. 🃏 **PART 4: THE 9.3% CONNECTION (THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART)** Okay. Forget the calendar for a minute. Let’s look at something potentially more meaningful. **RYAN COHEN’S OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE.** Here’s what the SEC filings tell us. **JANUARY 21, 2026** Cohen reported **9.3% beneficial ownership**. His beneficial holdings totaled: **42,082,626 shares.** That figure included 3,734,784 shares underlying warrants. Now jump forward to September. **SEPTEMBER 3, 2026** Cohen reported **8.3% beneficial ownership**. But wait. His reported beneficial share count was STILL: **42,082,626 shares.** SAME HOLDINGS. LOWER PERCENTAGE. WHAT HAPPENED?! Well, we don’t have to guess. The September Schedule 13D explicitly explains that the lower percentage resulted from an increase in GameStop’s outstanding share count following convertible-note exchanges. And it confirms something important. **COHEN DID NOT SELL ANY SHARES.** His ownership percentage fell because the total number of outstanding shares increased. Classic dilution, right? But what happens immediately afterward? **THAT’S RIGHT - HE STARTS BUYING AGAIN.** Check this out: **Date** **Cohen’s reported beneficial ownership** Jan 21, 2026 **9.3%** Sep 3, 2026 **8.3%** Oct 13, 2026 **9.1%** From 8.3% to 9.1% in just over a month. And suddenly he’s approaching his earlier percentage. **SO HERE’S MY QUESTION:** **WHAT IF COHEN IS TRYING TO GET BACK TO 9.3%?** Does he want to maintain a particular ownership level in the business he’s running? Here’s where it gets REALLY interesting. **LET’S DO THE MATH.** Cohen’s October 13 Schedule 13D reports: Outstanding common shares: **504,500,990** Common shares directly owned: **42,492,652** Shares underlying Cohen’s warrants: **3,734,784** Total beneficial ownership: **46,227,436** Reported ownership: **9.1%** Using the filing’s warrant-inclusive ownership methodology: **9.3% × (504,500,990 + 3,734,784)** Equals approximately: **47,265,927 beneficial shares.** Subtract his current 46,227,436. And we get: 👀 **APPROXIMATELY 1,038,491 MORE SHARES.** About **1.04 MILLION SHARES**. Now compare that with Cohen’s recent purchases. 1,000,000. 1,150,680. 700,000. 844,130. ***DUDE. ONE MORE PURCHASE AROUND A MILLION SHARES COULD PUT HIM NEAR 9.3%.*** 🃏 **PART 5: OCTOBER 30. THE WARRANT WILDCARD.** GameStop’s outstanding warrants are scheduled to expire: **OCTOBER 30, 2026, AT 5:00 P.M. NEW YORK CITY TIME.** Exercise price? **$32 PER SHARE.** Full exercise of approximately 59 million warrants could provide GameStop with up to **$1.9 BILLION in gross proceeds**. Remember those 3,734,784 warrant shares included in Cohen’s reported beneficial ownership? Because if his warrants expire unexercised, they no longer count as shares he has the right to acquire. Assuming no other relevant changes, his common-share ownership would then be: **42,492,652 ÷ 504,500,990 = approximately 8.42%.** So if those warrants lapse and Cohen still wants to hold 9.3% of the outstanding common stock, he would need approximately: **4.43 MILLION ADDITIONAL SHARES.** Not 1.04 million. BIG DIFFERENCE. Now, suppose instead Cohen exercises his warrants. He would receive additional common shares in exchange for paying the exercise price. But if other warrant holders exercise too, the total outstanding share count increases. And that affects everybody’s ownership percentages. See how complicated this is getting? 😵‍💫 **THE OCTOBER 30 WARRANT DEADLINE COULD CHANGE THE ENTIRE OWNERSHIP EQUATION** Warrants can expire worthless. They can also be exercised when the underlying stock is below the strike, although that might not be economically attractive compared with simply purchasing common shares. And exercise increases the share count, which can create dilution. But look at everything happening around it. **1. Cohen buys almost $100 million in shares.** **2. All five board members participate in the buying wave.** **3. Cohen’s beneficial ownership rises from 8.3% to 9.1%.** **4. Warrants affecting the ownership calculation expire October 30.** And maybe the most important question isn’t whether he buys again. Maybe it’s **what ownership percentage he ultimately wants AFTER the warrant situation is resolved.** 🐱 **PART 6: WHAT ABOUT THE ACTUAL BUSINESS?** Okay, before somebody says we’re just counting dates and staring at charts… Fair criticism. 😂 Let’s talk about what GameStop is doing. The company released second-quarter results on September 8, 2026. **Operating income: $160.2 MILLION.** **Collectibles revenue: $356.3 MILLION, UP 57% YEAR OVER YEAR.** **Collectibles now represent 45.1% of quarterly net sales.** And management increased its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook to **more than $650 MILLION**. NOT BAD for a “dying brick-and-mortar video game retailer!” But let us also need to acknowledge the other side: Total quarterly revenue declined from **$972.2 million to $790.2 million**. The legacy business still faces challenges. GameStop’s investment holdings, including its eBay stake, introduce additional valuation complexity and market risk. Bottom Line? GameStop is becoming a very different business from what it used to be. So the investment thesis directly includes management’s ability to allocate capital, generate sustainable cash flows, and build something valuable from the company’s existing assets and evolving operations. The insider buying is interesting. But the business still needs to justify the valuation. **A GOOD STORY ISN’T AUTOMATICALLY A GOOD INVESTMENT AT EVERY PRICE.** That’s why I’m watching both. The filings AND the fundamentals. 🃏 **PART 7: TIME TO PLAY THE UNO CARD.** ALRIGHT. HERE WE GO. The four anchor purchase dates: **SEP 10 → SEP 21 → OCT 2 → OCT 13** If that sequence continued, the next date would be: **OCTOBER 24.** Except October 24 is a Saturday. Markets are closed. So the nearby trading days are: **FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23.** **MONDAY, OCTOBER 26.** Just days before the October 30 warrant expiration. Does that guarantee Cohen buys on either date? NO. Does it guarantee a rally? ALSO NO. But I’ll make a prediction anyway. 🃏 **MY SPECULATIVE CALL** **I think there’s a reasonable possibility that Cohen makes another substantial purchase before the October 30 warrant deadline.** And if he buys approximately another million shares, that would be consistent with both his recent purchase sizes and the possibility of returning to 9.3% under the current beneficial-ownership methodology. If the purchase also happens around October 23 to 26? *Well… WE’RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER SPREADSHEET.* 😂 As for the stock price? My speculative bull scenario is a **test of $30 before October 30**. And if momentum continues, $32 becomes an obvious level to watch given the warrant strike. And remember, if the data changes, the thesis changes. Simple as that. 🐱 **FINAL THOUGHTS: PRESSURE, TIME, AND A WHOLE LOT OF SEC FILINGS.** We’re watching several unusual things unfold simultaneously: An enormous accumulation of shares by the CEO… Participation from every current board member… A repeated calendar pattern.. A possible ownership-restoration objective.. And an approaching financial deadline that directly affects ownership math… September earnings revealed RC’s percentage declined. And then he committed almost **$100 million** buying more shares. The 11-day pattern? Interesting. The nearly identical share quantities? Interesting. The October 30 warrant expiration? Definitely interesting. But the strongest part of this thesis is much simpler. **THE PEOPLE RUNNING GAMESTOP ARE BUYING SHARES WHILE THE BUSINESS AND ITS CAPITAL STRUCTURE ARE CHANGING.** **PRESSURE AND TIME, BABY.** And maybe a big goddamn spreadsheet. 😂 📚 **RECEIPTS.

Woulda been nice to get the $27/28 options in for next week, but still got a LOT that were in play. Pressure still on

I’ve lost a LOT of money from my ATH 5 months ago. Multi 6 figures from the high just holding shares, nothing in options. I’m trying to be self aware and realize that greed can make you feel invincible when things are going your way. It feels awful, but we just had a meeting with my autistic kid’s fifth grade teacher and she shared a note with me that he wrote “about my dad” and he wrote “my dad makes me feel better and safe when I’m not feeling good”. I wana cry

I just calculated that I would’ve made $8 MILLION today had I held my spy 0dte puts to the very bottom. Instead I made 467k, objectively a lot but I’ve lost A LOT more than that in the past couple of weeks plus this was a crazy high risk degen bet in a highly volatile position. I actually chose the right direction for once and I guess my account is big enough that it’s not exactly the end of the world but after learning this of course I’m pissed, especially for the amount of risk I took. Like what do you even do in situations like this? The one time I was right I missed out on an absolutely MASSIVE gain.

THATS A LOT

We have A LOT of 5 year old minded adults. Have you seen the sheer amount of cyber dumpsters on the road?

I've only heard "sell as soon as it vest vests and diversify into voo" for RSUs. Maybe it makes sense here but it makes A LOT more sense there.

*slightly faster* is an understatement. It's A LOT faster... As in, if I was to 100% trust AI, not audit much and just vibe code everything away, I could tackle a few months long project in 2-3 days. And that's not even talking about automating maintenance. For example: monitor errors logs, if more than X users encounter an error, have an agent analyze it against the code base and submit a pull request with a patch and a detailed bug report. Only need an experience person to review the PR and approve it if it's valid. There are definitely real massive avantage to AI. The problems are mainly: - the cost for the business using AI - the AI companies needs to be profitable - losing a human understanding of your code base. (AI slop is real and as it adds up, it tend to overcomplicate implementations) - I could foresee some liability concerns as well when something goes wrong and everyone blame the AI.

omg. when I first started investing, I was working a min wage job and finally saved up enough money to buy ONE chipotle stock. I was so excited lol. then the e-coli outbreak happened and the stock tanked. It was honestly devastating because that was a LOT of money to me at the time LOL luckily I had read a couple of investing books before that, that prepared me for the ups and downs of the market. so instead of giving up, I just kept going. but that loss was hard emotionally !! I think one of the biggest things beginners don't realize is that trading and investing are two very different things. buying individual stocks hoping to make a quick profit is very different from consistently investing in a diversified portfolio over the long term. that experience taught me a lot. but I'm so glad I didn't let it scare me away from investing altogether!

>Nearly 300lbs of dead weight is A LOT when it comes to pushing track records. The weight matters for acceleration and cornering. The thrusters far more than make up for the extra weight. People said electric cars could never be fast around a track because of the vastly increased weight, and here they are setting all kinds of records. >Cold gas thrusters have existed for a long time. Not on cars. >They are a brief, one-time slight acceleration boost followed by permanent decreased performance for the rest of the lap. There's no performance decrease. The drive motors don't power the compressor, so there's no leaching. There's only a range decrease. >It's not going to be some small thing like an air compressor for tires. It's certainly going to be powerful. But as it is, it's 1.6 seconds 0-60 fully loaded without the jets. So obviously that isn't an issue.

Nearly 300lbs of dead weight is A LOT when it comes to pushing track records. Cold gas thrusters have existed for a long time. There's a reason professional drivers haven't been modifying their track cars with compressed air thrusters to try to push records. They are a brief, one-time slight acceleration boost followed by permanent decreased performance for the rest of the lap. Worse acceleration, worse handling, and slower braking with more wear. And you aren't factoring in the weight of the compressor to refill the tanks. It's not going to be some small thing like an air compressor for tires. Compressing 2,600 cubic feet of air to fill the tanks in any reasonable amount of time (say, less than 20 minutes) is going to take some fairly significant machinery.

you need to start by maxing out your 401k and HSA accounts and also continue maxing out your Roth. do you really need a new house? the rate environment is a LOT different from when you bought your house. if you are comfortable where you are then take advantage of that rate and put every extra dollar to your investment portfolio. there is no need to pay down a 3% mortgage early.
