Time ticks for everyone... One day some company will be buying the remains of Amazon.

> GameStop, which had a market value of around $11 billion [...] EBay is several times GameStop’s size, with a market value around $45 billion as of Friday’s close.

> Details of the potential offer for eBay couldn’t be learned.

This appears to be an attention stunt, of which Cohen has done a few since GME became a meme stock.

Esophagus4•59m ago
I’ve searched the net to find the example, but I remember this happening during the dot com era too…

Some unknown tiny company made an offer to takeover Yahoo (or some similar company)… the tiny company made headlines for a moment then disappeared again.

It was an example of dot com silliness.

Can’t for the life of me remember, and Google can’t seem to either.

Similar to when koenigsegg attempted to purchase saab, it can be a great way to get publicity.

Maybe but we have a recent sample of Paramount ($12b) acquiring WB ($62b).
applfanboysbgon•53m ago
That would be more accurately described as Larry Ellison (~$200b) acquiring WB.
sanswork•50m ago
In that case though Paramount offloaded 25% to foreign wealth funds and had Larry Ellison willing to provide guarantee on(according to google) almost $50b of debt.

Ryan Cohen is rich but he's not that rich.

aurareturn•16m ago
Besides the Larry Ellison, Trump, and Middle East backing, Paramount and WB's businesses have synergy.

Gamestop and eBay have no synergy. Gamestop can't possibly run eBay better than eBay's current management. It's a meme stock looking to make noise so they can get a higher stock price, and then unload their shares onto the public market to raise cash.

GME has 3x'ed their shares outstanding since Covid.

What would be these few attention stunts he did?

Forgeties79•38m ago
NFT’s and crypto nonsense, for starters. Go look him up and what he has done at GameStop. He’s not exactly shy about his plans and likes to make dramatic statements.
v4dm•14m ago
GameStop has no crypto, are you trolling?

They did have an NFT marketplace but it was shut.

What dramatic statements are you on about? Have you read/listened to him at all?

v4dm•49m ago
Ryan Cohen rarely does interviews & Lauren Thomas is one of the few journalists he agreed to speak to, they had an interview earlier this year - https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/gamestop-ceo-plans-e8440c...

If you check eBay & GME's stock prices after the announcement, the market seems to think there are at least serious discussions here if not more.

surgical_fire•26m ago
GME stock price is not really a reliable metric for measuring the seriousness of anything.
v4dm•14m ago
...because you decided so?
surgical_fire•2m ago
Apologies. Maybe you just came out of a coma that spans half a decade and is unaware of the event surrounding GME stock.

A good place to start: https://youtu.be/5pYeoZaoWrA?si=3YZ1SpRxOB9sglVG

afavour•25m ago
Does “the market” not mean meme stock investors in this instance though?
v4dm•12m ago
Headline-driven market is a thing, not sure why meme stock investors are part of this? How are they connected to this news?

Also, what's a meme stock? How would you define that?
