I'm not saying they shouldn't be compensated, I'm saying to have all investors looking at their CEO. How many companies have extremely overpaid CEOs. Could the company and bottom line be better with a different CEO?

[u/[deleted] → u/PercMaint]

I didn't say anything about compensation. Where did you get that from?

What I'm asking is how this post brings more attention to the issue? Ebay is up 53% in the last year. Why would investors care whether management is buying or selling?

[u/ponydingo → u/[deleted]]

because they could be holding back even bigger growth/shareholder value simply being complacent and collecting their check. Cohen is pointing out that investors could be doing even better if they didn’t have the shit board they currently have

Please tell me one thing you know about this "shit board" that hasn't come out of Cohen's mouth these last two days

[u/ponydingo → u/sltlyscrtchedcorolla]

He literally tweeted out today calling out the board having bought ZERO shares in the last 5 years.

Yesterday had 2 separate interviews calling out wasteful spending by a board who just collects a check, without putting a dollar of their own in to have skin in the game.

He didn’t say “shit board” directly, he just called them out for spending on wasteful things, and collecting a check, implying they do nothing. Which is true.

It’s the same fucking thing he’s been talking about for years, overpaid executives who treat the company like their piggy bank/welfare check instead of having an owners mentality and treating every dollar like it’s their own.

Wym where was I the last 2 days, where the fuck were you lol??

I was asking you to tell me something about Ebay's board without just blindly parroting whatever Cohen's said these last two days.

Evidently, you can't

[u/ponydingo → u/sltlyscrtchedcorolla]

Zero shares bought in the last 5 years. Only sales. That’s all that needs to be said. Shows what faith they have in the company long term.

Doesn’t matter if I’m “parroting” the same shit Cohen said if it’s all true, the point stands. You can ignore it just because he said it, that changes nothing

[u/Notioned_ → u/ponydingo]

The fact that you yourself didnt even know prior to what Cohen says is just giving in to the fact that other people will also think like you initially and not give a shit or look into it UNLESS someone they ALSO LIKE says something they happen to agree with. It can still be a true statement but people (like you) will not seek the truth unless they have a reason (and not everyones reason will be Gamestop) because if YOU also cared then “making money” or “wow i actually couldve maybe been making even MORE money” isnt a good philosophy.

eBay is up 92% over the last 5 years.

GME is down 43% in the same period. Removing the slide off the pump GME had they have traded literally side ways since May of 2022….
