GameStop rallies on bullish options activity as Michael Burry teases post
And let’s not sell the artist formerly known as “Best Buy Rilie” short, either.
What’s good for a video game and collectibles retailer?
New and intriguing characters, apparently.
Shares of GameStop are having a strong start to the week, up over 4% on Monday.
Hedge fund manager turned Substacker Michael Burry teased a post on the retailer this weekend, before saying this would be delayed on account of too much information.
My apologies, there is just too much info to organize. Cannot make the Sunday deadline.

(Cheers to Burry, still relatively new to the publishing-for-profit world, as missing deadlines is a key rite of passage.)
Shares are on track for their biggest one-day gain since October, surpassing their 4.2% advance on November 28, the trading day after Burry published tweets that offered some lore into his time spent as a GameStop bull ahead of its ascendance to meme stock status. Despite delivering its sixth consecutive quarter of positive cash flows from operations in Q3, GameStop sank after reporting earnings last week, as revenues fell about 5% year on year.
On Monday, GameStop’s put/call ratio as of 11:46 a.m. ET was about 0.12, or roughly half of its six-month average.
Burry might bring the kind of main character energy back to GameStop that’s been absent since Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, kicked off another meme rally in the stock in the second quarter of 2024.
Also piquing renewed interest in GameStop may be the exact opposite of a graying finance guy: the company’s recent poach of the artist formerly known as “Best Buy Rilie.” Two videos posted to X featuring the goth TikTok creator have received nearly 50 million views combined since December 10.
Hey, Sydney Sweeney worked for American Eagle...
