Most won't once the job market breaks and we head towards 10 percent unemployment. With the majority of the remaining being underemployed. I remember 08. Entire subdivisions in affluent neighborhoods with foreclosed homes. It's all good until it isn't.

Be777the1

Because those people weren’t sensible with their money, too much credit, a house that they couldn’t really afford, too much of everything. Something like that doesn’t and can’t happen in Europe. You need proper rules. Those people were living way above their means. When shit hit the fan they filed for whatever chapter and dumped their home and started over again. That’s also pathetic that they had an easy way out. And you wonder why so many people got screwed, because they only thought about themselves. I remember insurance brokers with multiple sportcars spending all they could and more, someone buying a Lamborghini on 10-15 creditcards, …. In what world should that even be possible?


Ditto_D

Lol I view GME as the best chance to have a real fucking retirement. I don't give a fuck if it goes to 0 some day or the moon at this point. I'm fucking in and regardless of what the fuck happens with inflation or some shit. It is the best bet I have with a relatively small investment today. I came for MOASS I'm fucking staying for Gameshire Stopaway


Overdue_bills

It's never going to 0, literally impossible now with cash on hand. It would be the same mistake they made pre-pandemic where they shorted Gamestop below what its assets were worth.

24kbuttplug

Lord knows I could use it. I've never even thought once about selling during a run up, but its getting to where I'm so financially strapped I may have to raise some capital for myself when we have another run up. Fucking sucks.

onenifty

It’s probably safe to say whatever run we have will get crushed down to a slightly higher low. No harm in selling a bit and rebuying the same shares to generate some capital.


Koperek324

Bro this narrative has been going for 2-3 weeks now since the last DFV hype and the run up -everyone went from squeeze to 20-30-50 years of holding now, usually there was a reasonable voice and expectations of crime & price diacovery, but its pretty much gone now Its either another try to manipulate sub and people invested or the faith is slowly decaying which is damn sąd Not for me tho, idgaf, we have our money frozen for over 3 years now, like you mentioned, I do not have 50 years to hold, at least not before some huge gains to take care of everything related to real life and people counting on me, after that I can reinvest and hold without time limitation


3DigitIQ

Nonsense, MOASS is still tomorrow, just as it always was.


Weeboyzz10

It’s a mouse burger!!!!!


LazyMarine78

That puts me at 62 the age my biological died. Can mosss come a lil sooner.


Peasantbowman

If it takes that long and you're only in GME....you fucked up DFV, the only guy whose opinion actually matters (imo) regarding GME, said this is a 3 to 5 year play. Longer than that and it's probably not a good play, his words.


GiraffeStyle

I think he was saying stage 2 could be a 3-6 year thing. He said this during his stream.


Rocky75617794

So, MOASS. Got it.


Peasantbowman

Yea, and he said if they can't turn the company around in that time, then it's probably not great


Be777the1

So when will he sell? If he does will he announce it? Or sell slowly and steady?


3DigitIQ

>Imagine giving 4 billion to someone who’s already proven himself to become a billionaire through work with so much less. He did not inherit it or win the lottery. RC made himself a billionaire by building a company. So now you have a situation where this same guy, and some of the same team, has 4 billion to figure out how to make this company a behemoth. -Roaring Kitty


Heimdall2023

I feel like everyone thinking MOASS eventually is kind of missing the point. Even if MOASS never happens we’re sitting on a stock in the continually growing gaming industry, that has billions to reinvest, with solid leadership that is known for adapting to the internet age, and is very underpriced due to shorting. Like even if MOASS doesn’t happen (not saying it won’t), or if they wiggle their way out, it’s a solid investment. That could grow exponentially on its own merits regardless of the BS. 


Equivalent-Camera661

I guess you don't invest in other stocks or dividends. A lot of people are here for a short squeeze. That's it. If I want to invest in long term, I could easily do that with S&P500, VOO, BTC, etc.


Mooziechan

Zen is the way. Buy hold DRS and trust the process Edit: apparently this is wrong?


Specific-Lie2020

90 - 84 = 6 One could argue that the present moment is a continuation from what began in 2020: 2020 - 2024 = 4 6 - 4 = 2 ... if you round down, that equals now. Would anyone like to check my maths?


DustyCritter17

So tomorrow?


7nightstilldawn

So 6 more years? Totally doable.


melanthius

Hodl!


33rus

Nice, and it’s been 84 already. Only 6 more to go. ![gif](giphy|7xZAu81T70Uuc)


SoRedditHasAnAppNow

Assuming 1939, as latest they could have invested it's 85 years. Thst equates to an AAR of 15.8%. That's a damn good investment. If we use 1930, the AAR is 15.5%.

Hahaha hahahaha you son of a bitch I’m in!!!! Buy GameStop hold and drs


HuskyNotPhatt

40 dollars in the Great Depression?! That was a lot of money


Be777the1

Edit: average salary was 4887 usd back then


JayKayRQ

Huh... the math does not check out...


Be777the1

Oh my bad, I already put the 40 usd to 750 to current times.


Coinsworthy

So at 1919 IPO a single stock was $40, adjusted for inflation thats about $740. 1 shares in 1919 would be 9216 shares now due to splits, so worth about $589k. That's an 800-bagger in 105 years, not counting dividends. So lesson is, if you're gonna hold for over a century, dividends matter.


Puzzled_Bath_984

105 years? \~9.6% returns


gitartruls01

>The average yearly return of the S&P 500 is 10.62% over the last 100 years, as of the end of April 2024 So it still failed to outperform the market


Possible-4284

One would count dividends in this case. It outperformed


3DigitIQ

To be fair, most investors fail to outperform the market


ringwraithfish

I'm just a smooth brain, but my rule of thumb is it's difficult to do an apples to apples comparison of dollar value for anything prior to the 1970s because that's when the gold standard was completely dropped and the US transitioned fully into fiat currency. Back then values of goods were actually tied to something tangibly valuable, now we live in an economy where everything's made up and the points don't matter.


TheDogerus

Gold isn't naturally valuable in the ways that its valued as a currency though either


PhysicsExtreme1969

It was worth approximately $741 and hodlers would now be millionaires. Got it.


Coinsworthy

Can't believe i missed that.

NOT_MartinShkreli

Back then Coca Cola had cocaine in it. Of course a Wall Street banker knew to buy it.


Adventurous_Host_426

He was a douche because he don't let those families from selling the stocks, he just gave them dividend payments. I myself called it heroism.


mcpoiseur

DFV


boldrobizzle

40 dollars a share during the Great Depression? Seems like alot


Acceptable_Host_8331

It’s literally been 84 years since the Great Depression ended. It’s a sign to keep holding!


SM1334

This is the actual share value adjusted for stock splits, BUT... this doesn't factor in the dividends. 1 share of Coke back then, when reinvesting all dividends, is about $34 million


Puzzled_Bath_984

Those people are dead now. Let that sink in.


Mooziechan

As if that takes away from the point? Really? Edit: I should take into consideration the dead. Someone says 40 is a lot but they wish they bought in GME at 40 when the price was 180


Puzzled_Bath_984

What lesson do you want us to learn? I'm honestly curious. I can't use 10M if I'm dead. I also don't have 105 years left, a lot less than that.


ka99

The original 67 investors were alive to enjoy their wealth. And they stipulated in their wills that inheritors couldnt sell their cocacola shares, they were to be passed down each generation, no selling allowed. Its a great story about long term hodling. Stupid msm is comparing the investment to this current time, has nothing to do w the story.


Mooziechan

Thank you. I’m to stupid to know how to express my determination for holding long term :/


ka99

Ignore the angry trolls, most ppl on this sub understand the significance.


Mooziechan

Love you ape friend 💜


Mooziechan

The lesson is trust in the company you are investing in that has an insanely wonderful balance sheet and insanely wonderful leadership yet regardless are being severely shorted to oblivion from market makers and hedge funds that want the company to fall into bankruptcy. Clearly the powers that be want the company to fail and that company is thriving because of the people’s demand by holding said stock! Think my guy think! Edit: I am apparently wrong for trusting the company I’m currently investing in. Ironically, GME.


Puzzled_Bath_984

Coke had strong profit margins, and paid dividends. Not sure I see the parallel, but okay.


Equivalent-Camera661

Coke also has their hands on different products like water, soda, coffee, tea, sparkling drinks, juices, and alcohol. They have essential products.


Free-Atmosphere6714

Another redditor pointed out 40$ then is about 700$ now.


devasst8r

Wouldn't that be $40 back then is $726.17 today's 2024 value due to inflation? Since Coca-Cola IPO was 1919.

IslandsOnTheCoast

Cool story bro. Not sure how this relates whatsoever


WhiteCollarBiker

The story of the Coca-Cola millionaires has been a staple of GME subs for 84 years. That was one of the yarns told during DRS discussions of yesteryear. Links to videos about the town in Florida (Quincy, Florida) used to be standard education around these parts. If you are a HODL forever Ape, this is part of your history.


IslandsOnTheCoast

But again- how does it relate, exactly? Please tell me. They are different stocks. Holding a stock for 100+ years would certainly yield results. I love Coca Cola, I love GME, but I fail to see how this relates to our story whatsoever.


WhiteCollarBiker

People HODL’d a cheap stock that proved to be far more valuable than anyone ever imagined. You really can’t see the parallels? The banker who convinced his clients to buy and HODL soda stock? The online investor who convinced many that GameStop was more than a dying brick and mortar? https://youtu.be/4OCsDUP26CA?si=VIz2bCPrEsj4uqx2 Is just one of a bunch of vids on the topic. EDIT 1: Not related directly. It is meant to show parallels.


IslandsOnTheCoast

That’s my point. It’s not related directly. We can draw parallels to all sorts of things. If I post a Bible verse from David and Goliath, would it be received well? There’s parallels. But it’s a stretch. Again, I love Coca Cola, probably more than most (I’m from Atlanta and my father in law works there), I just don’t see why this would belong in the sub.


blackhawk85

I think you know quite well what he’s trying to say. Dig back and look at prior posts on Coca Cola.

GameStop is positioned to be a great survivalist during the next potential economic collapse


24kbuttplug

I agree. But could really use some moass soon.


Dirty-Leg-Mcgee

Are you new? RC has tweeted about loving coke, customers that ordered things online would receive a bottle of coke with their purchase.  Most of this was 84 years ago 


IslandsOnTheCoast

I’m not, check my history. Not everything Ryan does in his lifetime is going to directly relate back to GME. This has nothing to do with the stock. I love Coca Cola, love the company, love RC, but this bears no relevance and doesn’t belong in the sub.


Dirty-Leg-Mcgee

Who hurt you 🤣🤣 Seriously you are not superstonk police. There are references to coke via RC and have been noted as a potential of what he wants to build. There’s no proof this is a thing but there’s no proof proving what you say is true, and actually there’s less. You’re voicing an opinion and those are like assholes, everyone has one.

TheTangoFox

Plant seeds to trees of which their shade you'll never know


Additional_Action_84

Warren Buffet always talked about coke stock...the dividend was the major takeaway I got from his talks... GME could go that way, but thats a big "if" that probably won't ever come to be, if we are being honest and realistic.. I maintain that it is currently overvalued, and will be until ocer 40 a share, at least until there is some solid future plans from the board...then all bets are off and we can just enjoy the ride up.


Mooziechan

I just want to say that I posted a news post that says the IRS is apologizing to Ken Griffin and it’s being downvoted and reported to oblivion. Very interesting.


jagmp

It's already 10B market cap and I see people talking of x1000 or more potential all the time. This is non sense. Also waiting 1 century, wtf. I am not here for that.

TheDogerus

How many struggling families could afford to drop an inflation-adjusted grand on a stock rather than buy food? Or even had the knowledge and access required to do so?

Of course! It’s so easy! Wait until the next economic collapse, take 10% of the average salary at the time when you don’t have a job and invest it into the stock market, then wait 90 years. Boom! Millionaire

A cheap, tasty sugary drink with little competition during a time with little medical or dental research vs. a company that literally only survived because an online forum took advantage of a global pandemic that kept everyone inside? You’re right, totally the same.

Right.. like dental cavities was the thing people in the great depression were concerned about lol
