Did he ask you to post it? Do you have his permission to share it? He is certainly welcome here.

"There is no wrong way to hold GameStop. PERIOD. FULL STOP.

That is such a wrong statement. By now we should agree being record holder is better than a beneficial owner.

I get the pushback on it is wrong to sign up yet again for another place. The only reason I suggested it is so you can read the logs and decide for yourself how good or how bad they are. I didn't want to share my perspective on how I think they are

I am really happy with this. I think there are still some gaps, but overall, I am quite happy.

The video talk was good especially to see the commissioners talk/argue their points. I also must say, I like the staff getting to respond to questions from commissioners.

I'd like to believe SS can get better and improve. I hope the SCC does that, but only time will tell.

Personally, I think there are some big issues that need to be addressed as resolved to splinter some of the groups.

The judge said the record holders would get paid and how beneficial owners were compensated was out of scope. They (beneficial owners) knew the risks of being beneficial owners.

I wanted to show a few examples with pictures to illustrate how inexpensive it can be to buy 100 votes

I am going to show pictures of each ticker with me going long 100 shares, short a call, and long a put. The call and put will be for the same strike and the same expiration. At the very end will be a summary table of upfront costs, losses/gains, and then some additional comments.

Please note:

  • This assumes no early exercise, which is a risk to this.
  • This assumes what is displayed on the ticket can be filled. Technically, it will not fill as optimally, but the gist of this is the key.
  • This is all based on data from thinkorswim pulled around 11:30am on 3/30/2023.

Examples

TLDR Summary

  • GME: for $2.4k, you can buy 100 votes and you’ll lose is $88
  • Robinhood: for $1.1k, you can buy 100 votes and you’ll gain $13
  • AMC: for $0.7k, you can buy 100 votes and you’ll lose $138
  • Apple: for $16.8k, you can buy 100 votes and you’ll gain $194
  • Microsoft: for $27.4k, you can buy 100 votes and you’ll gain $141

For 5 different tickers, this shows how you can shed some or all of your economic risk and have full voting rights. This is empty voting!
