So why is it up 5%

It's interesting that low volume is portrayed as a negative event.  If you look at the majority of the big breakouts with $GME, they usually happen after volume has decreased significantly. 

~$11 per share in cash. Likely $20,000,000/year in accrued interest if that cash sits. The legacy business is shrinking to make certain the balance sheet stays green and then there's $4 billion in cash to find a way to make profits, and likely more pumps by the hedge funds who are under water on their 2016-2021 shorted stocks that have yet to close.  A GME board member has been tweeting about companies that have made big transitions, ie. Berkshire Hathaway started as a textile company.  Cohen actually made a profit on his BBBY investment. BBBY leadership ignored his suggestions to shore up their business, so he exited his position.  Short and distort is what this and every other negative article written about GME, like this are all about.

Why is this even news today? It's over a week old. Something to do with pushing down the price for options....?

So then buy and DRS more then... ok

It's amazing this is only news now. GameStop has been hiring and working at an NFT project for several months. Seems to me that hedge funds and market makers have been shorting the stock heavily for over a month to get the stock price down for their year end reports. I think this was resetting failed to delivered shares that added up from all the naked shorting. Amazing how AMC, BBY, EXPR and KOSS all went up at the same time as GME. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the abusive short selling, swaps and ETFs meme stock ETFs that can add shares and dilute the market to drive down the share price...

They hired a mobile gaming guy. Nothing to do with GameStop. Just an excuse to naked short and drop the price so the short hedge funds can try to get more options ITM before they expire tomorrow.

No one is selling GME shares aside from short hedge funds.

If the company sells it’s 5million shares for an average of $250, it will have $24/share in cash. This is a ridicuous article with an agenda being pushed to try and drive people away from an amazing turaround story because a lot of hedge funds are short and trapped.

Nothing but good news from the company, the price will recover shortly, also it’s up a great deal over the last month.

Profits actually beat expectations, this title of this article is garbage! The company beat all expectations and is being attacked by predatory bearish traders who are trying to push the price down to prevent from being in troubles for not being able to meet margin requirements.

I have a new title here.. GME stock drops in pre-market with a concentrated effort of only a few thousand shares sold short between 4-430 am. I would think that by the market open the price is back in the green. Oh and by the way the entity who publishes this report is also partially owned by the marketmakers who are also short selling the stock.

I like the stock

There is more than $7/share that is just cash in the bank, the institution pushing this rating seems to have an agenda, not suspect at all….
