    So it looks like the chewy guy who just so happen to invest tens of millions into gamestop under 20 is now a billionaire



    Cohen, a Chewy Inc. co-founder, disclosed an investment in GameStop in August. By December he’d purchased 9 million shares in the retailer for a total cost of $76 million. Earlier this month, GameStop announced that he and two other former Chewy colleagues would be joining the board, triggering a jump in the company’s share price.

    he became a billionaire taking a long position in this stock, how does that make you feel? Do you find that laughable?

    yea if it crashes hard what does it matter though...being up 100%+ on your position is all that matters. buy high sell higher and all that...If you are 100% convinced i dont see the problem.
