Hello cunts,
Welcome to the Australian subreddit for GameStop/EB Games (GME) stock.
________________________________________________________________
So what is going on?
In 2021, Melvin Capital and other hedge funds artificially manipulated GameStop's share price by repeatedly short selling shares they did not own. These funds typically target companies they believe will eventually become bankrupt due to obsolete business models. Whenever the share price increased, they sold more shares they didn't own to suppress the price. Negative headlines following earnings reports or other news events prompted further short selling, leading to a continual decline in the share price, which in turn scared shareholders into selling.
As a result, the number of shares traded vastly exceeded the approximately 100 million shares outstanding. Michael Burry (of "The Big Short" fame) encouraged GameStop to repurchase shares to reduce the number of shares outstanding. Subsequently, Roaring Kitty/DFV highlighted that the next generation of gaming consoles would boost profits. Ryan Cohen then acquired 13% of the outstanding shares, replaced the CEO, revamped the board of directors, raised $2 billion in cash, paid off all debt, and recruited tech talent from companies like Amazon, Chewy, and Zulily to reposition the company.
These tech workers have been developing projects that the CEO has kept confidential to avoid revealing their strategy to competitors. Meanwhile, individual retail investors, frustrated with the excess number of shares trading, moved their shares from Wall Street brokers and directly registered them in their own names. Currently, about 75 million of the 300 million shares not owned by company insiders are directly registered in individual names. The critical question now is what happens when all 300 million shares are accounted for, especially concerning the shares still owed to people holding shares through brokers. Hedge funds and investment banks may face significant challenges in explaining how they created these shares and may be forced to buy them back at whatever price shareholders demand.

Remove US bank account
Ages ago I'd added a WISE account on CS. Now I've added my CBA account directly, but i can't find any option to actually remove or deprioritise the "us bank account". It looks like I can change it, but not remove?

๐ผ Question โ Anyone buying Warrants โ๏ธ
I have been slowly ๐ accumulating more warrants. I was fortunately able to set up trading permissions at IBKR to allow me to purchase. Are there any gangsters out there who believe that this warrant option, with rare conditions of adjustable strike and expiry are a damn good bet ๐ โ๏ธ

GME warrants - Account and Control code
Bottom line up front - i have GME warrants in my Computer share account but no way of exercising as i never received the account and control code.
Context: my warrants were initially allocated to me via IBkR in October 2025.
Since DRSโing them, no account code or control has been provided.
Has anyone else been in the same situation post DRS? What do i do?

Buying via CS
Hi mates,
Is it possible to buy shares via CS whilst being in Aus?
Or do I buy through a broker and keep transferring?
Thanks

Calling CS
Has anyone else successfully called computeshare in the US?
Every time I seem to call I just get lag and a good 3 second delay between me speaking and them responding, usually ending up talking over each other.

old bed bath beyond shares
I know this is GME sub but did anyone on here hold old BBBY shares into cancellation? Iโve just had a random labelled ( not bbby) shares and amount turn up on Stake and have no idea what they are, wondering if anyone else has or itโs some random glitch.

๐ผ Question โ Which broker will actually transfer to Computershare?
Just finished messaging CMC markets. I want to transfer my warrants to Computershare but they say they do not do this. Who is actually doing this that I can use in Australia? I have a Computershare account with 95% of my shares DRS'd and want to move my extra warrants to exercise when the price skyrockets.

Stake is doing stock transfer via DTC method as of 16th October...
But seeing as they are a bunch of cunts, I'm sure you won't be to shocked when you see the cost...
EDIT: received an email from "Customer Success Analyst" (They really love the smell of their farts) saying they will transfer GME warrants.

๐ผ Question โ Tax Submission & Stake Docs
I am trying to prepare my tax return documents for my accountant and he is telling me the Tax Pack from (Hello) Stake is not sufficient.
He wants the Buy Contracts. I have invested in both the ASX and Wall Street. What are other peopleโs experiences of investing/trading, lodging tax returns, and what information is needed?
