CYA

Gamestop issued a [statement](https://investor.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-details/2026/GameStop-Reminds-Holders-of-October-30-2026-Warrant-Expiration-Date/default.aspx) reminding everybody that warrants expire on the 30th this month. It says some potentially scary things, such as "will expire... on October 30, 2026", and "will cease trading... on October 30, 2026". It also says this (it's the very last line in the link above): \> Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and GameStop disclaims any obligation to update them. IANAL, but that gives me a little tingle for my little dingle. Maybe it's standard boilerplate legal jargon blah-blah-bob-loblaw, or maybe not. Regardless, this notice is a reiteration of what has already been laid out in the [notice about the issuance](https://investor.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-details/2025/GameStop-Announces-the-Distribution-of-Warrants-to-Shareholders/default.aspx) itself: \> **Expiration:** The Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 30, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”). This is not new information. This is also ***not*** a confirmation that *GS will* ***not*** *modify the terms of the warrants*. Anything beneficial to shareholders can be effectuated at will, like extending the expiration date, lowering the strike price, and stuff about mergers/acquisitions which is also pretty exciting. The main takeaway from that point: **This recent notice is not a binding contract. It is not a promise that the warrants will expire on the 30th. It is simply a notice that those are the terms,** ***as of the time of this notice***. (Here lies the end of objective truth, and the beginning of speculation. Also, a single meme, because that's all I can muster). https://preview.redd.it/gc1gbp5wrowh1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb7624be0ee6643531e3e016a2408a5aa5b568b6 **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** I see this as a CYA which baits the shorts. It acknowledges that the warrants ~~should~~ may expire on the 30th. It paints a seemingly bleak picture. The end result? Warrants are beaten down. Or, in other terms: deeply discounted. NFA, but I am going to buy the shit out of these bad boys. Here's why (and I know this is becoming a long post, so I'll do my best to wrap this shit up): \- RC disdains the hollow men who profit off of a great American company's demise \- RC is tickled by the groundswell of support he has from humble, highly regarded individual invetors like you and me \- RC is ambitious, and likes to work, but here's the key...: I think that work has already been done \- I believe this is a coup de grace several years in the making. I think this was ~~telegraphed~~ tipped to his loyal, and utterly regarded, retail minions months in advance of its implementation \- I think LC alludes to this with [his recent post](https://x.com/larryvc/status/2112378598644670947) \- I think this could look scary as shit for those of us who have gambled on these warrants, expecting shit to blast off in time for us to make some gd $$$ without actually selling any shares \- I think there's much more happening behind the scenes then we understand. I **DO NOT** think this is a test of faith... but I **DO** think that those who hodl faith will be duly rewarded (NFA) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ I'll close this already too-long post with a little human touch. I felt like shit when that statement came out yesterday. But, after a decent night's sleep and a good deal of bacon and strong gin, I'm actually feeling pretty good. So much so that I'm planning on slapping $500 into these warrants tomorrow (or whenever Fidelity clears my funds). \~ With warm regards, Idjek P.S.: A few bonus points: \- [This dude on X has a very interesting and heartening post](https://x.com/JusticeIsComing/status/2112573262299295854). I didn't look into it, but perhaps some of you can corroborate (or even refute) these claims. \- No, I am not the dude in the aforementioned post. (...but even if I was/am, the claims should stand on their own) \- The tease/tingle about the merger and/or acquisition is a big ass fucking rabbit hole that I didn't dive into whatsoever. There's an entire field of DD devoted to this idea, but I won't link that here because it's not exactly palatable to the Supenstonk powers that be

Seems like a CYA
