To that end, the 57% drop in its stock price since November 2021 may be a clear indication that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">GameStop</a> is offering up a sight that isn't suitable for a younger investor audience.</p><p>GameStop stock has been the poster boy for the meme stock phenomenon and it has benefitted from it greatly over the past two years. Outsized investor interest has helped push the stock price to levels at which the company's board felt it could justify a stock split.

They generated buzz online that induced buyers to counter these shorts, taking the stock from below $2 per share at one point to just above $120 per share at its peak.</p><p>Though GameStop could not sustain its high, it has not lost the backing of meme investors who have remained faithful amid the recent sell-off. The higher stock price allowed it to sell shares and attract funding, helping GameStop to keep its doors open.</p><h2>GameStop's evolving strategy</h2><p>While the stock has sustained itself somewhat, the business side of GameStop's recovery still lacks sustainability as the company really doesn't have a competitive advantage that investors like to see from a stock. The popularity of game downloads has hurt GameStop's core business. GameStop has tried to evolve by switching its business model from one dependent on stores selling physical copies of games to a more robust online presence. It set up a one-stop online shop where consumers can find games from multiple manufacturers, potentially aiding the consumer. Instead of going to a manufacturer's site, which only features games made by one developer, GameStop offers a much more extensive selection. The problem is, video game platform operators like <b>Sony</b>'s PlayStation, <b>Nintendo</b>'s Switch, and <b>Microsoft</b>'s Xbox offered competing sales sites that weren't all that different. For instance, GameStop wasn't able to gain a price advantage over these rivals online.</p><p>In another effort to revive itself (as well as give customers a reason to visit the physical stores), GameStop expanded its alternate revenue streams, like collectibles. Similarly, another segment heavily promoted by GameStop is its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, which it launched on July 11. It has marketed it heavily, claiming that its first-ever NFT collection, Gmerica 1, gives off "some serious summer in the city vibes." Gmerica 1 claims almost $600,000 in trading volume as of the time of this writing.</p><p>Nonetheless, overall business performance has been underwhelming. GameStop claimed over $3 million in payment volume in the first three days, but the excitement around the marketplace quickly fizzled. Over the last 30 days, the top 50 collections only generated around $6 million in payment volume. Of that, GameStop takes a 2.25% share, which amounts to just under $140,000 in revenue.</p><p>Additionally, investors should not ignore competition from other marketplaces. With <b>DraftKings </b>and numerous other players competing, GameStop likely has a long way to go before it can become one of the best NFT marketplaces.</p><h2>Consider avoiding GameStop stock</h2><p>Given a lackluster business performance, investors should expect a low tide to bring some indecent exposure to GameStop stock. Indeed, meme stock momentum is a powerful, but unpredictable, force. The rising stock price breathed new life into GameStop, and the company rightly changed strategies to revive itself.</p><p>However, investors tend to reward success, not survival, and its new business lines appear not to offer any meaningful competitive advantages. Hence, do not expect GameStop's recent moves to excite more than a small group of meme stockholders.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Is Still \"Swimming Naked,\" Despite the Passion of Meme-Stock Investors</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGameStop Is Still \"Swimming Naked,\" Despite the Passion of Meme-Stock Investors\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-02 23:04 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/02/gamestop-swimming-naked-passion-meme-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett has famously said, \"you don't find out who's been swimming naked until the tide goes out.\" To that end, the 57% drop in its stock price since November 2021 may be a clear indication ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/02/gamestop-swimming-naked-passion-meme-stock/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GME":"游戏驿站"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/02/gamestop-swimming-naked-passion-meme-stock/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2264204190","content_text":"Warren Buffett has famously said, \"you don't find out who's been swimming naked until the tide goes out.\" To that end, the 57% drop in its stock price since November 2021 may be a clear indication that GameStop is offering up a sight that isn't suitable for a younger investor audience.GameStop stock has been the poster boy for the meme stock phenomenon and it has benefitted from it greatly over the past two years.

Fueled by social media, stimulus checks, and just a little boredom, the “meme stock” came into its own. Two such stocks—GameStop (GME)and AMC Entertainment (AMC)—have seen their share of ups and downs as part of the meme stock movement.However, are these merely flash-in-the-pan inspirations? Here today and gone tomorrow like the memes for which they’re named? Or are these potential long-term opportunities? I’m starting to lean bullish on AMC, though I am bearish on GameStop. AMC is making some baffling and yet thrilling moves, while GameStop is still…well…GameStop.The last 12 months for GameStop have been a wild ride by any standard. Trading in a range between around $78 and $302, GameStop has been the soul of volatility. Meanwhile, AMC saw a massive spike back in May, from which it has been frantically retreating ever since.However, a recent rally has emerged, thanks to one key and highly incongruous move that may have turned the company into a serious play.Sticking to and Breaking from the Old ModelGameStop should, theoretically, be doing better than it is. After all, interest in the video game markets spiked dramatically during the pandemic. Even after the government-required lockdowns began to lift, there was still plenty of interest in staying home and playing games.Reports suggest that the gaming market, worth $198.4 billion in 2021, should reach $339.95 billion by 2027’s arrival. Yet, GameStop’s strong dependence on used, physical video games doesn’t bode well for it, especially in a market increasingly dominated by digital gaming purchases.When customers can download their game of choice and pay for it via credit card, debit card, or even digital transfer, it limits the impact of a used game dealer. Moreover, some consoles—the Xbox Series S in particular—will only work with digital games.However, it’s AMC that really catches the attention here. It was in a similar position to GameStop. It was in an industry that benefited substantially from the lockdowns, but it wasn’t in a position to take advantage of that benefit.AMC’s focus on brick-and-mortar theaters in a market that was increasingly going to streaming hurt it badly. Streaming was already a threat to the brick-and-mortar theater, but the pandemic exacerbated the problem.AMC’s recent move to invest in Hycroft Mining(HYMC)changed the picture. Now, AMC had an industry for boom times—the movies—and a heavy presence in an industry for bust times as well in gold mining.While the two industries aren’t even sort of complementary, it’s not like ticket takers are going out with picks and shovels. No, AMC just has a presence in a company that mines gold.Historically, the value of gold has never gone to zero. Sometimes it’s been less profitable than others, depending on the cost of inputs like fuel and labor to pull it out of the ground, but gold has always had some value to it.So now, AMC has a presence in a market that should lend it some support in bad times. With theaters, in general, coming back into play and Hollywood rolling out the big-name movies again, AMC is in an excellent position to make a comeback here as well.Concluding ViewsIt’s clear that some meme stocks are better than others.GameStop looks increasingly like a bad play, and it never looked all that good, to begin with. Its business model is still very much dependent on used physical titles. That’s bad news in an increasingly digital environment. Its ability to engage in much change is also limited.With a massive downside potential, minimal and declining hedge fund involvement, and no real dividend value to speak of, GameStop continues to look like a bad investment plan.AMC, however, is different. Branching out into precious metals gives it a whole new edge and a perfect market for bad times as well as good. Considering the company is set to find more of these “transformative deals,” this could be the start of something big. Though AMC has its own substantial downside risks, it also has more justification for keeping its current pricing than GameStop does.Both AMC and GameStop are risky right now. However, AMC does seem to have a better chance of paying off on that risk than GameStop does. So I’d be cautious making an investment in either, but of the two, AMC looks like it might be about to start something big.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":351,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575199303759784","authorId":"3575199303759784","name":"Andaroo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/634c9b9f18158d4a4e497249bdbe8fd5","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575199303759784","authorIdStr":"3575199303759784"},"content":"shills

So I’d be cautious making an investment in either, but of the two, AMC looks like it might be about to start something big.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":351,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575199303759784","authorId":"3575199303759784","name":"Andaroo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/634c9b9f18158d4a4e497249bdbe8fd5","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3575199303759784","idStr":"3575199303759784"},"content":"shills will be shills","text":"shills will be shills","html":"shills will be shills"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005368104,"gmtCreate":1642175497737,"gmtModify":1676533689567,"author":{"id":"3560125062457156","authorId":"3560125062457156","name":"MGK","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560125062457156","idStr":"3560125062457156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a>[Spurting] ","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a>[Spurting] ","text":"$GameStop(GME)$[Spurting]","images":[{"img":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/825ed20c70e9ad2867d54e0bab1f77a9","width":"1170","height":"2532"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005368104","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":481,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9939469214,"gmtCreate":1662161835338,"gmtModify":1676537008378,"author":{"id":"3560125062457156","authorId":"3560125062457156","name":"MGK","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560125062457156","idStr":"3560125062457156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok, just bought more.

The popularity of game downloads has hurt GameStop's core business. GameStop has tried to evolve by switching its business model from one dependent on stores selling physical copies of games to a more robust online presence. It set up a one-stop online shop where consumers can find games from multiple manufacturers, potentially aiding the consumer. Instead of going to a manufacturer's site, which only features games made by one developer, GameStop offers a much more extensive selection. The problem is, video game platform operators like <b>Sony</b>'s PlayStation, <b>Nintendo</b>'s Switch, and <b>Microsoft</b>'s Xbox offered competing sales sites that weren't all that different.

Similarly, another segment heavily promoted by GameStop is its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, which it launched on July 11. It has marketed it heavily, claiming that its first-ever NFT collection, Gmerica 1, gives off "some serious summer in the city vibes." Gmerica 1 claims almost $600,000 in trading volume as of the time of this writing.</p><p>Nonetheless, overall business performance has been underwhelming. GameStop claimed over $3 million in payment volume in the first three days, but the excitement around the marketplace quickly fizzled. Over the last 30 days, the top 50 collections only generated around $6 million in payment volume. Of that, GameStop takes a 2.25% share, which amounts to just under $140,000 in revenue.</p><p>Additionally, investors should not ignore competition from other marketplaces.
