"Thanks Mark, and hi everyone. I will speak briefly. My father always told me: ‘talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words.’ My responsibility is to make sure GameStop is run by managers who treat company money like their own. In corporate America, the people in charge, the professional directors and management teams, are not aligned with shareholders. They are always the recipients of stock grants, however they rarely purchase company shares with their own savings. There is a big difference between risk-free compensation for showing up, and putting a meaningful amount of your own money at risk. As a result, money is wasted, work is relegated, and a lot of time is spent managing to short expectations and pandering to Wall Street. I like people who roll up their sleeves and do real work. People guided by principles. Not robots who seek to rest and invest. In corporate America, there’s no shortage of overpaid executives, bad capital allocation and chronic waste, and serial delegators. Much of this behavior is both predictable and reprehensible. It is precisely what creates opportunities. Thank you for being a shareholder."

Thanks for this. Just finished reading Naked Short and Greedy by Dr. Susanne Trimbath - if anyone needs a reminder of how fucked up the markets are... I highly suggest it!
