GameStop Still Wants eBay, and Its CEO Is Betting Big on Himself

Ryan Cohen just wrote a personal check for a million shares of his own struggling company, and three directors bought the same week. When a CEO puts tens of millions of his own money in while quarterly sales crater, the question is what he knows that the market hasn’t figured ou…

Twelve Tabs, One Thesis
