Devout video gamer here. Everything has gone to digital download and micro transactions. 5 year horizon for discs on consoles is unrealistic. GameStop is 2017 version of Blockbuster.

GameStop doesn’t make sense. Where will their revenue growth come from?

@D1. My thought is definitely not that it’ll become a growth business. I think their Collectibles and Technology brands segment is growing strong but GameStop got beaten up by the declining foot traffic. If devout video gamers are sticky consumers (consoles use disks for next 5 years) + console released in November. I can hold 5 Years and I’ve made half the money back in dividends

Used to be a gamer, now investing is the game... No inside knowledge on either but GameStop is a hard no. I’ve been saying what EY 2 has been saying for 3-4 years now. Would likely be dumb to short it. I wouldn’t own FedEx either. I’m not sure FedEx will survive Amazon and automation, and I’m not sure they won’t either but both are very tough businesses. If you like games buy ActivisionBlizzard. If you like moving stuff around maybe buy Brinks. Not pretending to give investing advice and and I have no inside knowledge of any of these companies.

I’ve never understood why so many people recommend funds. They charge you fees, you have little control over it it, they’re no fun unless they’re active and you’re on board with how the management team operates, and ETFs are a total joke.

Appreciate the responses all. I definitely thought a lot about digital downloads. To their credit, aren’t a lot of games now so large they take hours to download though?

If buy GME do it because they are expanding ATT stores and flipping non performing Game Stops into additional ATT/Spring Mobile locations, not because you think there is any sort of future in video game pawn shops.

Just buy funds. Stop obsessing over loser stocks

Less time to download than it takes to drive to a GameStop. Downloads also are background processes while playing. A lot of top games are also packaged / optimized to allow for play while downloads are in progress.

Yeah.... I may not invest in the end. I did more digging and could be a value trap

I’ll likely look more into fedex although it is expensive

P2 this was my original thinking. They’re moving away from traditional revenue sources. My thinking is that it’s a value trap and not cheap enough yet
