The PPShow

This article has been scrubbed from Bloomberg Markets' website, along with much of the entire internet.

It speaks to the general corruption found throughout much of Wall Street and is an excellent source to be aware of for both for yourself and others - giving staunch credibility to the general theses much of this (and other) communities have been working on.

"In a little-known quirk of Wall Street bookkeeping, when brokerages loan out a customer’s stock to short sellers and those traders sell the stock to someone else, both investors are often able to vote in corporate elections.

With the growth of short sales, which involve the resale of borrowed securities, stocks can be lent repeatedly, allowing three or four owners [or more] to cast votes based on holdings of the same shares.

The Hazlet, New Jersey–based Securities Transfer Association, a trade group for stock transfer agents, reviewed 341 shareholder votes in corporate contests in 2005. It found evidence of overvoting—the submission of too many ballots—in all 341 cases."

Shareholders and the associated corporations/companies can be taken over / misguided / misled / duped by way of sham voting via short-selling and the subsequent counterfeit/phantom shares - where and when elections may result in highly questionable policies/decisions implemented, as well as an installation of corrupt officials & board members, resulting in dubious business-practices wherein ulterior motives are rampant, along with the potential creation of a lobbying, bribing, and (frankly) psychopathic organization.

Indeed, that's what has been happening.

When we hear talk about "corporations having too much power!" - this article speaks to one of the main mechanisms making that possible.

I came across this image from the AMC stock subbreddit regarding an equity swap for (999B) that expires on Dec 15th.

I found it curious that PULTE pushed comraderie with AMC stockholders and the SECRET MILLIONAIRES PARTY is supposed to be on the DEC 14th, the day before the swap expires. The swap start date was 3/3/2021.

UCOPY covered similarities 7 or so months ago talking about similarities in charting of AMC and BBBY. (So mads props to my boy over here you shitheads)

Removing a dash (-) from the Teddy hidden Hebrew נכונ-וסלכו messages it translates to Let's Go - what a cohencidence (:

I know it's on reddit, but I put it on twitter too though and that's the point.

Posted awhile ago.. lost but not forgotten. Teddy should be at the end of this journey by now...

Looking for some discussion about a very intriguing concept. Members of this community commonly refer to this concept as MOASS. It doesn't often get discussed directly, but it looms large behind many discussions.

For posterity's sake, I'd love to get some discussion about it directly. It's November 24, 2023. As the future unfolds, I'd like to be able to look back on a discussion like this and see what the thoughts about this idea were at this time.

Here are a couple of questions that might be worthy of discussion.

• What is MOASS?

• What is the probability of this event occurring over what period of time?

• Is it inevitable?

• Is it controversial? If so, why?

• Are many people aware of the idea?

• Of people that are aware of it, there are those that believe that it is a real thing that will happen, and there are those that believe that it is not a real thing that will ever happen. Why do some people believe that it cannot happen?

• Who benefits if MOASS materializes?

• Who does not benefit / who suffers if MOASS materializes?

• Is MOASS potentially an existential threat to some parties? If yes, which parties?

• If MOASS is an existential threat to some parties, and if those parties had an interest in self-preservation, how would they be feeling? How would they be behaving? What actions would they likely be taking in the interest of self-preservation?

• What are some of the implications if/when MOASS materializes?

You took forever, what were you doing in there?

TLDR:

Information about the state of the teddy.com website over time as well as trademark information provides some clues about what Teddy may eventually become.

Snapshots of teddy.com taken from archive.org provide some interesting information about this website. It is not immediately clear from publicly available information precisely when Ryan Cohen came into possession of the teddy.com domain name.

From 2017 to February 20, 2020:

We are currently working on something awesome. Stay tuned! https://web.archive.org/web/20200220224756/http://www.teddy.com/

teddy.com appears in it's current incarnation, as a web store that sells children's books written by Ryan Cohen.

TEDDY trademark information - Trademarks filed August 12, 2022

This post from r/BBBY provides some info about Teddy trademarks, filed on August 12, 2022 (which happens to be the same day that RC tweeted: "At least her cart is full 🌝", a tweet which became the basis for a subsequent ongoing lawsuit)

https://uspto.report/TM/97546136

TEDDY® trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of furniture; Pillows; Figurines of plaster, plastic, wax, wood; Mirrors; Picture frames.

Because the trademarks were filed in August 2022, during the 2 year period of time when the teddy.com website featured several different products for sale mimicking an online store, and that it wasn't until November that the website changed into its current form, it is likely that the domain was in Ryan Cohen's possession since at least the beginning of that 2 year period period.

Intro: This post started as a small comment to a reddit post of r/edwinbarnesc. https://www.reddit.com/r/edwinbarnesc/s/f3F1YFQ9yx

It got out of hand, now it's a post. :) It even got longer after I copied it here. ;) Grab some fucking crayons and enjoy the foil / future outlook.

My theory about Gmerica & Teddy has been an amazon competitor with metaverse attached to it for some time now.

Look at the huge distribution centers of Gamestop, then look at the rest of Bbby / Butterfly, mix it with some Teddy book tinfoil and Cybercrew easter eggs and you get a metaverse and online shop to buy all the things with the fitting NFTs attached.

Certificate of ownership and Metaverse usability combined.

You buy new shoes? Why not wear them on your cyber clone, Kira or Nate or even your own Avatar custom built for you? Manage all of it with the easy to use Playr wallet. Just register with your email and connect it to your gmerica-Account to use your NFTs in every supported game.

Ready Player one anyone?

Those games are onboarded by ImmutableX right now and will be the next step in the gazillion USD Gaming market over the next months / years. That's also the way to bring NFTs and the metaverse into mainstream. 3.09 Billion gamers worldwide. The next generation of customers won't know any other way to buy stuff. Only the young.

Short delivery times and cheap fees in real life because of a shared distribution network for the brands that partner with Gmerica. Gamestop & Teddy Holdings / Bank provide payment via Fiat and crypto, a marketplace for the NFT assets and provide the infrastructure for a fast delivery for every partnering brand. Loopring red packets allow air drops as gifts for customers with minimal fees.

Just send out your promo-codes as NFTs and bring the customers to your metaverse store.

Welcome to the new world of Onlineshopping. No need for any brand to have their own shop anymore. Just let the customers walk through your 3D Metaverse store and shop digitaly instead of buggy web2 shops with 2D images.

Next steps for the coming years: Look at the Blackpaper of protocol gemini. Wearables to enhance reality with metaverse content and GPS data to create a digital layover in real time. You liked pokemon go? Think about "theming" the buildings of your city in your way to work. Or enter a real life shop, get all the product Infos in an overlay and get a discount because of your Promo-NFTs i your mobile wallet. Pay it on your phone and just take the item with you.

Throw in some Taiko with zkEVM and full Ethereum Blockchain functionality with just a small fraction of the gas fees. Settlement on a stock market has never been faster and smart contracts for financial transactions will be handled with the speed of light and stored forever on the blockchain.

Just one of the above mentioned things would be a several billion dollar entity. Welcome to Gmerica. Tomorrow we ride.

TLDR:

Just read it, it's not that much.

Thought I'd share a post here with a little DD I did looking into business formation documents. It's Thanksgiving so I don't have as much time to rewrite it on here so I hope you don't mind going back to reddit for this one. On the bight side I posted it on r/Teddy <3

Happy Thanksgiving!!

If you click on the WhyDRS link at the top there's where the Supa refugees have been. Your login works on both. AKA https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/

There's some crossover between Fediverse apps, so some posts here can be commented on in Mastodon if you have login over there. And vicee versa.

This is the equivalent of ALL on reddit... https://lemmy.world/ There are buttons at the top to select which i.nstances.

Since the fediverse runs in individual instances, you can have the same account handle on all of them, or different ones, you go to that server and sign up.

A reference for it all is here...this is mostly about Mastodon right now... https://fedi.tips/

The fediverse has its own video sharing at Peertube and there's a photo sharing site at Pixelfed. Both, and others, linked and explained at Fedi.tips.

I'll add more as I think of them.

Bang bang

Hi, I posted a few days ago on Reddit that on trading 212 when searching for bbbyq it was showing byon as a result. I contacted customer support and they said what’s on the screenshots. I still think it’s a bit of too much of a coincidence that they added it on the 21st of November but anyway, time will tell.

Hello friends, i love the ppshow and i Will follow the show until PP grow too big to remember those Who were There from the start 😆 and even than i Will be watching.

I am glad the PP management acts Fast and build up his own stuff. Love you guys and see you on the moon.

While going through X today, somehow this link to an old gamestop post came up, so I started digging. My first and maybe last tinfoil post...

July 26, 2023

Previously on the PP show there was high quality guest Hey_Ross, which felt like a moment where the PP show went from being a small time amateur operation to something a little bit more serious.

Around the time of Bed Bath & Beyond's bankruptcy announcement in April, the show had roughly 300 to 400 viewers per night.

Yesterday Bill Pulte announced on Twitter / X that he would be attending the show, and during Pulte's segment there were over 2000 viewers watching live.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXaH3IaklqU

There were quite a few things that were discussed with Pulte, it was a good segment. There have since been numerous threads in the PP show subreddit discussing the content of that segment.

Some of the takeaways that I got from the conversation:

• Pulte discusses DRS. Pulte says: "my opinion is that, myself included, is that everybody should be open minded with it. We should not, in my opinion, we should not underestimate what executives and what some of the hedge funds and some of the certain actors on Wall Street will -- the lengths that they will go to... when is change actually going to happen, and I think that the more that we can remove friction, and I don't know that DRS is friction, but we just need to keep an open mind. I've gotten to know the process of DRSing, and I hear both sides of it, it is, you know, these systems, they make it, whether it's DRS or otherwise, I think intentionally to make it more difficult.
• Pulte and Ryan Cohen share the same attorney, "a very well known shareholder activist attorney, 2 gentlemen, 2 attorneys"
• Pulte says that "we are all leaders", "the power is in all of us, it's not in Pulte it's not in Cohen, it's literally in fucking everybody here. It's like, next time, how do we get the PP show to get to 10 thousand people". Although this segment wasn't specifically about GME people, throughout the segment Pulte's words sort of conflated the BBBY and GME communities as one and the same, that we share the same fight. I take this claim that we are all leaders to refer to all of us here in this Lemmy instance as well, all of the efforts that everyone has taken to continue pushing forward.
• Guest ABC asks: we are seeing a lot of division, how would you encourage us to bring these communities together? Pulte responds: "you just can't engage it [the divisiveness]... we really are in so many ways on the same team. By leaders like you, because you are a leader, everybody is a leader here, but you're a leader ABC, by you asking that question people are going to think twice about, does it make sense to, really, fight with these people, you know, really spend our time, our energy hating on these people, or should we be focused on, you know, the real enemy, which is the corruption, the greed, the, you know, one of the seven deadly sins is sloth, I think a lot of these executives i think sloth. Think about this: how the hell did this Fortune 500 COO that was going to become the COO of Pulte Group, 18 billion dollar company, how the hell did he have time, how the hell did the CEO let this guy have time for a year and a half to come up with different fake identities to attack me? I mean this stuff is crazy. If you traffic in this kind of stuff it will make you go nuts and in this case, this guy, in my opinion, he's nuts. And I just say you gotta restrain yourself. You really gotta restrain yourself, and we've gotta really restrain ourselves as a movement..."

I share Pulte's view, that the PP show (BBBY people) and the GME people, and the DRS GME movement are all different expressions of the same larger movement and larger community, we are all after the same thing, we are all fighting the same fight, and our opponents are the same opponents. Choose cooperation and positivity and reject hatred and division.

TLDR: Apes together strong.

Additional note: on the subject of the power of the community, and division and positivity, it is kind of ironic that despite that Pulte is a GME shareholder and an advocate of DRS, and does not have any position in BBBYQ, this interview with Pulte and any mention of it was repeatedly removed by the mods of Superstonk for not being explicitly about GME, despite that the community members there clearly were in favor of the discussion, with the posts being highly upvoted and awarded.
Although most everyone here is well aware of such antics that happen in that subreddit, it really says something about how, as Pulte advocates for cooperation and togetherness, but that the mods of superstonk go out of their way to put up walls to deliberately promote the separation of GME and everything else. Despite that we are all fighting the same fight and share common interests, over there it is GME only, no exceptions. I don't think I am alone in believing that this behavior is detrimental to the overall strength of our movement, the movement of retail investors fighting against a cartel of short hedge funds and other Wall St players.

I mention this because I want to use it as a reminder once again that it is imperative that we not allow ourselves to be boxed in by artificial walls that have been put up by moderators that act against the consensus of the community, and that the fediverse and this Lemmy instance are an expression of what Pulte talked about, that as a tenacious community we are all leaders, and we won't let that kind of behavior stop us from marching forward.
