Good Morning Superstonk!
To ease the pain
So, itâs Monday morning, the market opens in a few hours, youâve got your coffee (or your beer for you Europoors) and youâre ready to sit down and have a read of Rensoleâs daily DDâŚ.
Then you remember. And suddenly you feel worse than when your spouse asked you what happened to the Disneyland money youâd saved (YOLO, amirite?). Rensoleâs DD is no more, and a chapter in the GME saga has closed. HODL me đđđ
This is a note to Rensole. Feel free to scroll down to Dr. Trimbathâs picture if youâre just looking for the Daily DDÂ đ
Before I begin, Iâm going to tell you that without Rensole and his daily posts, Pink Cats- and a lot of the comradery of this sub- would probably not be here. After reading about GME since December on WSB, I bought my first share on January 18, 2021. And Iâve been buying and HODLing ever since. But for any of you apes from the jungles of January, you know that the dip after January 28th felt like a punch in the gut. February was brutal. I questioned my sanity, I cried in the shower, I mentally punished myself daily for continuing to hodl instead of just selling. I just threw my familyâs savings into something Iâve been reading about on reddit FFS!!
But then we migrated to r/GME, and our favorite Anchorman began showing up on our screens right on time every day.
And he never relented. I remember days when he was sick or didnât feel good. He still posted that beacon of hope, shining forever brighter, to lead all the apes into a new day of trading. How badly did you need that shit mid-to-late February? And Rensole was there to deliver rock steady words of stonkiness. It was like a hit of Hopium straight to the brain every morning. Friendships were built in those comments.
Although I know he would never admit it himself, this community would NOT be where we are today without Ren. The gratitude I owe him for getting me through the slumps and shrugs in this GME saga is infinite. I never felt like I was HODLing alone. Thank you for all youâve done for the apes. Though all you can hear sometimes are the haters, you have always been loved and appreciated by this community. Thank you for teaching us the power of being excellent to each other. We all owe you a beer on the moon. Cheers, Rensole and stay classy. :salute:
đ¨BREAKING NEWSđ¨
AMA Confirmed with Dr. Susanne Trimbath, PhD Economist, to Livestream on Superstonk Live YouTube* April 29 at 3pm EST, With Questions curated and presented by u/Atobitt
Dr. Susanne Trimbath, PhD Economist
*NON-MONETIZED CHANNEL
So the first time I heard about Dr. Susanne Trimbath (bio)was when I watched this documentary. (Skip to 16:50 if youâre just looking for the Dr. T bits but I suggest you watch this whole video when you have time.) This legend first discovered Naked Short Selling in 1993. And what was the response from officials when she told them about this activity? âYou canât balance the world.â
Well I donât know about you apes but Iâm ready to balance the damn world.
So that brings us to Brick Tamland (u/Bye_Triangle) with more info on this developing storyâŚ
Brick Tamland (u/Bye_Triangle)
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programing for some Breaking news
Queue News-like music sting Susanne Trimbath⌠Now this AMA is going to be a heavy-hitter.
Trimbath has a history that is very applicable to our current situation. Once the manager of the DTC, specifically working in Settlement and Clearing, Trimbath spent much of her career trying to destroy the corruption of Wall Street, with regards to Naked Short selling.
Authoring two books on the subject of Wall Street corruption, Trimbath is eager to take this opportunity to speak to us apes about this very topic as it relates to the GME situation, but also the markets as a whole.
Please, check out her books on the topic, they are extremely relevant:
-Naked, Short and Greedy: Wall Streetâs Failure to Deliver
-Lessons Not Learned: 10 Steps to Stable Financial Markets
But Apes, Guess what! We saved the most exciting announcements for last. Not only are we having Susanne Trimbath on for an AMA⌠but it is going to be a livestream on our new NON-MONETIZED Superstonk Live YouTube Channel! Mods have been working through the night to build a platform that apes can trust to host interviews such as this. (Stay tuned for more details on the channel.)
Though, unlike the Domo Capital AMA, we will have one of our very own apes hosting the Q & A, with questions sourced from the AMA post as well as drawing from their own expertise. This person recently wrote a certain DD called âHouse of Cardsâ âŚÂ Thatâs right folks, your very own u/Atobitt is our host! Atobitt has been hard at work preparing for this interview, so you are going to want to stay tuned so you donât miss this.
Tuesday, April 27th The AMA post will go up (for you to submit questions!)
Thursday, April 29th, 3:00 PM EDT the AMA will be LIVE! Link to YouTube Channel
Back to you, u/PinkCatsonAcid
GME wants YOU to VOTE (no, REALLY!)
Vote!
So our friend u/StonkU2 did an awesome writeup here about the upcoming GME Proxy Vote. Essentially you need to make sure that you understand the following:
Your broker should contact you with proxy voting info and your Shareholder Control Number. This will likely show up in your broker inbox on your main dashboard sometime this week, if it hasnât already. But if you havenât gotten it yet today, donât freak out yet. I know Iâm going to wait until at least Tuesday or Wednesday before calling to retrieve my Control Number because most brokers should have this info out by mid-late this week. Of course, itâs ultimately best for you to check with your broker yourself if you ever have questions.
DO NOT LET GO OF THIS CONTROL NUMBER WHEN YOU GET IT. APE PROTECC TICKET TO ROCKET SHIP LIKE IT WAS GOLDEN BANANA. GOT IT? That means donât go clicking phishy looking links around Twitter or reddit or ANYWHERE that isnât sent directly from your broker! I can however verify that the correct link is:Â https://news.gamestop.com/proxy-online-0Â . This is the only place you should be sharing the Control Number!!!
Did you hear me? DO NOT CLICK ANY LINK TO VOTE THAT DOESNâT COME DIRECTLY FROM YOUR BROKER. Pretend itâs 2001 and youâre downloading sketchy âmusic videosâ on Limewire on the family computer. Just be vigilant.
Now that Iâve made that point clear, I want you to understand how important it is that every shareholder exercises their right to vote. And thatâs not anyoneâs personal opinion, and donât let Shilly FUD tell you that youâre somehow orchestrating something by exercising your right to vote.
Gamestop is asking shareholders directly to VOTE ASAP!!!
Allow me to read you this excerpt from the 2021Â Gamestop Proxy Statement:
âYour vote is important. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we request that you vote your shares as soon as possible by following the voting instructions contained in this proxy statement.â
as well as:
âWe are planning for the possibility that the ANNUAL MEETING MAY BE HELD SOLELY BY MEANS OF REMOTE COMMUNICATION. If we take this step we will announce the decision to do so in advance of the Annual Meeting, and detail on how to access, participate in, and VOTE at such meeting will be set forth in a press releaseâ
So not only are they SCREAMING AT US TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (after your broker contacts you about it), theyâre also telling us that theyâre discussing a way to livestream it and let us apes in on the action in real time. Of course we will keep you updated here on the Daily, but also stay on top of your broker situation. Looks like something should be officially released by April 28, 2021 as far as details from Gamestop.

A note from your friendly local Pink Cat
If this is your first time reading my material, Hi! Iâm u/PinkCatsOnAcid and Iâve been here in the GME Jungles of r/wallstreetbets, then r/GME, and now my lovely home of r/Superstonk. Iâve been memeing and vibing with my apes from the first drop of the Tendieman. I love this place. I am legitimately honored that I have been entrusted to help steer this rocket. I am going to echo what u/redchessqueen99 has said and swear to you this right nowâŚ
I WILL NEVER SELL OUT OR SELL ALL MY GME
If you ever see me posting something totally not PinkCats-like, Iâve been compromised. Yâall know Iâm just a trippy cat that likes to meme and sometimes I hack up word-balls. And you know how much I like the stock. Iâm not interested in money, Iâm interested in GME Tendies.
I will never sell all my GME and I will never sell out this reddit account. You have my word.
I love you crazy mf-ers and I ainât going anywhere. Youâre stuck with me. đđ đ
Committed to you like Kenny to his shorts
Also, if I didnât get to you in yesterdayâs Flair Megathread, I will! I promise! And I will be doing another one very soon. That was fun and I had to cut it short to do boring mod stuff and fight some shills. đŤ But we will resume on another weekend!
More Notes on FUD tactics
If you havenât yet, please read our Reigning Queen Redâs post. She said it beautifully so I wonât rehash here. Just beware of the new age psy-ops happening in this sub. And the mod team is taking extensive measures to crack down and clean up the page without limiting the free flow of conversation. I can tell you this- I certainly wonât use the ban hammer with a heavy hand, but I think yâall know by now I have a nose for bullshit and wonât tolerate any nonsense in here. The mod team is not afraid to ban an obvious shill. And remember⌠if you look and talk like a shill, we are probably going to mistake you for one. Weâre working very hard to clean house around the sub before our guest arrives. Bring facts and research with your posts, especially if requested to provide proof of claims. Iâve lost 2 subs. Iâm not letting you take my Superstonk, shills.
In the words of RensoleâŚ
Be excellent to each other!!!
Be friendly, help others!
as always we are here from all different walks of life and all different countries.
This doesnât matter as we are all apes in here, and apes are friends.
Doesnât matter if youâre a silverback a chimp or a bonobo.
We help each other, we care for each other.
Ape donât fight ape, apes help other apes
This helps us weed out the shills really fast, as if everyone is helpful, the ones who arenât stand out
remember the fundamentals of this company are great, so for the love of god if someone starts with trying to spread FUD, remind yourself of the fundamentals.
There is no sense of urgency, this will come when it comes, be a week, be it a month be it six.
We donât care, just be nice and lets make this community as Excellent as we can!
