Question:Couldnt the CEO of now large cap gamestop now raise billions and set up dominos pizza like driver delivery from all stores turning gamestop into a massive amazon like online retailer instantly? (while providing many driver jobs)

Wouldn't that sort of instantly turn them into an futuristic online retailer with a huge in place local distribution system with virtually same day delivery?

So suddenly gamestop isn't old "brick and mortar" but now new "online & distribution center'. Also would sort of be a an uber or uber eats as well except they would be "gamerber"

Could they do that?

Didnt tesla when their stock went way up use the opportunity to raise billions to be able to do more?

I mean couldnt such a huge vote of confidence by retail investors actually allow them transform the company?

Definetly do not make them like Amazon.
That would mean half the shipments disappear, get lost, late, never show up at all.

And the other half get literally thrown into your mailbox/open windows, ruining the item inside.

They left clothing in a box outside in the rain (had been raining for two days straight previous) on Christmas Eve.

"Here Dad, wring that water out of the shirt, it will be FINE! Merry Christmas!"

I have an open porch up front and a screened in washer dryer area.
They literally went past the open porch to three feet from the screened area just to set it in the rain. 🥴

Let's not even talk about them parking in the middle of the road in a blind spot. The speed limit is 45 in this area.
(45 is the best #!)

Yeah, if the ceo is really smart, he will invest this capital and turn GameStop into something much bigger than a bunch of physical stores. This is an extremely rare opportunity for them, they’ve got to cash out at the right time like the rest of us though. Otherwise it’s all for nothing, we all know that right now it’s a false evaluation of their current worth.

That's not how stock works.

Gamestop doesn't have any more money that it did yesterday and it's still a shit company destined for bankruptcy.

They don't own any of their stock. That's how stock works. The investors bought a percentage of ownership in GameStop and are trading those percentages amongst themselves.

The big hedge funds thought they could buy it all up cheap and end up in full control of GameStop, make a profit on the side, then sell off GameStop's assets in bankruptcy to earn another profit.

Instead, they are going to have to pay out tens of billions to the people who caught onto their scam.

Meanwhile, GameStop hasn't changed at all and will still go bankrupt.

Knowing how they've operated their stores in the past, i wouldn't want to deal with them in a larger capacity. However, if they propose major changes to their business model i would consider this. Gamefly was or is (i haven't utilized it in a long while) a good system. They should coordinate
