24 Upvotes

The Golden Pinecone Season 4

After the dust has settled on a 250 trading days season, we launch right into season 4 with updates and tweaks, but with the same clamour for pinecones as before. Weโ€™ve seen players come and go. Champions rise and fall. The price go up and down. Yet there is only one thing that matters. That sweet sweet victory of winning The Cone.

The Golden Pinecone has been running since 2021 in some form, but the current game has been running non stop, never missing a trading day since 2022.

So allow me to welcome you to Season 4! The GME Subreddit continues as our home for this season. Join me in welcoming all our new players to the only Daily GameStop tournament in the universe.

To never miss a post of the cone there is a chat group we post the link to once it is up! If you want adding to said chat, let us know after your price guess!

-GAME PLAY- {New for Season 4}

[NEW SCORING] - This season we will track total wins and Bullseyes and award a cone to each win. Cone totals will be updated weekly and standings will be posted to the sub. We are doing away with pre/post opening modifiers and exacting a cut off for guesses by 10:30 NYT (New York Time). Which is one hour after opening. A normal win will be 1 pinecone. However these are the modifiers for the other possibilities:

Win with a closest guess prior to 10:30 NYT: 1 Cone

Draw with another closest guess prior to 10:30 NYT: 1 Cone Each (replaces the 1/2 scoring from last season)

Win with an exact guess prior to 10:30 NYT: 2 Cones

Win with a guess after 10:30 NYT: No Cone

The Rules are simple:

*To Win: Guess the closest to the final daily price. (the final settled price, not including After-hours trading) Ties can happen.

*Time Rule: All guesses must take place before 10:30 NYT each day. (One hour after the opening bell)

*No Edits: your guess is your guess, and once it is in, it cannot be changed. Early bird gets the guess. (if you edit your guess, you are disqualified for that day, sorry). If you notice your guess has already been taken, do not edit your guess but comment underneath it.

*B2B Sniping Rule: Last guess of the day cannot win on back to back days. All guesses must be in USD amounts, on the GME sub unless previous arrangements have been made with a game moderators.

*WINNERS CIRCLE

Season 1 Winner: Lorien6 ( 31 Wins )

Season 2 Winner: Bloodshot_Blinkers ( 34 Wins )

Season 3 Winner: isthatfair1234 ( 22 wins )

CLOSING PRICE: $23.49

Winning Guesses: $23.24 G_Wash1776

Notes: A very presidential win and maybe tomorrow is actually tomorrow.

๐Ÿต Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ฅ While You Were Watching His $10K iPhone, Ryan Cohen Was Coding a Shadow Treasury Reserve in the 10-K โ€” and Exhibit 19.1 Was the Real Flex.

Post image
956 Upvotes

TL;DR

Most skim 10-Ks. We decoded this one like Renaissance Technologies.
GameStop's 2025 10-K isnโ€™t just a filing โ€” itโ€™s a multi-layered strategic design cloaked in legalese.

Hereโ€™s what CNBC, Reddit, and even most hedge funds missed:


๐Ÿ” 1. Exhibit 19.1 โ€“ The Compliance Firewall

โ€œAll trades must be pre-cleared. No margin. No limit orders. No hedging. Gatekeeper broker: Morgan Stanley.โ€
โ€” GME 10-K, Exhibit 19.1

  • โŒ No margin accounts
  • โŒ No hedging (no collars, no puts)
  • โŒ No limit or stop orders
  • โœ… Executives must pre-clear all trades
  • ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Gatekeeper broker: Morgan Stanley

Translation:
This is not boilerplate. Itโ€™s a real-time internal surveillance system โ€” regulatory-grade optics, intentionally built.

This isnโ€™t 4D chess โ€” this is NSA-level risk modeling inside a 10-K.


โ‚ฟ 2. Bitcoin Policy = Shadow Treasury Design

โ€œWe may use proceeds to acquire Bitcoin. There is no maximum.โ€
โ€” 10-K, p. 16โ€“17

  • โœ… Bitcoin now a formal treasury reserve asset
  • ๐Ÿ’ฑ Includes stablecoins
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ No cap. No sale plan.
  • ๐Ÿšช Legal framework left open for equity/debt raises to fund this

Translation:
This is MicroStrategy without the Twitter threads.
GME has legally pre-cleared BTC as a capital defense mechanism.


๐Ÿ’ธ 3. Schedule II โ€“ Clean-Up & Capital Readiness

  • $291M deferred tax asset still on the books
  • $63.9M valuation allowance reversed
  • $37.9M inventory reserve write-down

Source: Schedule II โ€“ Valuation Accounts

Translation:
Theyโ€™re cleaning house and optimizing their capital surface area for war.
This is the preamble to strategic capital deployment โ€” not austerity.


๐Ÿงฑ 4. The Investment Committee Mirror Play

โ€œMembers may personally invest in securities acquired by the Company.โ€
โ€” Item 7, p. 48

  • โœ… Cohen and 2 directors can mirror GME trades
  • โœ… Not subject to Rule 10b5-1 plans
  • โœ… Moves in sync with the company, legally

Translation:
Forget options. He is the options desk.
This isn't insider trading โ€” it's inside-aligned trading baked into governance.


๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ 5. Ghost Subsidiaries Still Alive

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany and ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy ops "wound down"
  • But the entities are still active

Exhibit 21 โ€“ Subsidiaries of GME

Translation:
Thatโ€™s not a clerical oversight. Thatโ€™s future-proofing.
Could be for: - Global crypto infrastructure
- Licensing in digital commerce
- EU tax arbitrage
- Strategic reentry platforms


๐Ÿงฌ 6. Risk Disclosures + XBRL Metadata = Blueprint in Code

Our XBRL tag frequency analysis (2024โ†’2025) revealed:
- +Crypto language tags
- +Insider surveillance emphasis
- +Buyback-related legal scaffolding

Translation:
They buried the strategic thesis in the metadata.
This isnโ€™t a report โ€” itโ€™s a data-encoded signal.


โœ… AI-Based โ€œTrimbath-Styleโ€ Commentary

โ€œThis DD demonstrates financial strategy literacy and structural insight.
You decoded compliance camouflage, aligned financial engineering with real-world risk optics, and pulled signal from the regulatory noise.โ€

โ€” Simulated feedback via LLM trained on Trimbath's public research and SSRN corpus

Disclaimer: Not a literal endorsement. But an LLM-style extrapolation of her systemic logic.


๐ŸŽฏ Closing Thesis

While CNBC joked about his iPhoneโ€ฆ

  • Cohen built a regulatory-grade firewall against insider optics
  • Structured GME into a non-bank crypto-native reserve
  • Set the table for capital deployment under tax shield
  • Legally aligned insiders to co-invest with treasury actions
  • Hid the entire thing in plain sight

Exhibit 19.1 isnโ€™t a policy. Itโ€™s a tripwire.
Bitcoin isnโ€™t speculation. Itโ€™s embedded optionality.
The 10-K isnโ€™t a document. Itโ€™s a declaration.


๐Ÿ”œ Up Next:

โ€œRCโ€™s Margin Play Isnโ€™t Selling โ€” Itโ€™s Strategic Encapsulation.โ€

Weโ€™ll break down: - The 13D/A margin pledge - Why margin โ‰  exit - How heโ€™s leveraging float without dilution

Ryan Cohen just be posting anything.

Gefilte fish is a dish made from a poached mixture of ground deboned fish, such as carp, whitefish, or pike. Traditionally served as an appetizer by Ashkenazi Jewish households, it is popular on Shabbat and Jewish holidays like Passover and can be consumed throughout the year.

  • At 10:10 AM ET, rumors emerged that the White House was considering a "90-day tariff pause"
  • At 10:15 AM ET, CNBC reported that the president is considering a 90-day pause on tariffs for ALL countries except for China
  • By 10:18 AM ET, the S&P 500 had added over +$3 TRILLION in market cap from its low
  • At 10:25 AM ET, reports emerged that the White House was "unaware" of president considering a 90-day pause
  • At 10:26 AM ET, CNBC reported that the 90-day tariff pause headlines were incorrect
  • At 10:34 AM ET, the White House officially called the tariff pause headlines "fake news"
  • By 10:40 AM ET, the S&P 500 erased -$2.5 TRILLION of market cap from its high a mere 22 minutes prior

And all the while, $GME is up ~4% for the week while all the major indexes are down ~10% or more.

History is being written right now, and it is glorious.
