Barnes and Noble Education Inc (BNED) Quote

Up nice today.

I have a question to the professional bashers. Have you walked into a physical store and spoke with the employees and management about the restructuring of the company? I would if I were you.

Keep it going ~!

Keep it going UP~!

But on the flipside, we've seen the smaller hedgefunds go UNDER these past few years

True that...... but hedge funds were not carrying SRTs (Synthetic Risk Transfers) from big banks like JPM and Citi back then. Commercial real estate is a massive black swan that has not hit yet. Many of these too big to fail banks made these loan transfers over to hedge funds to avoid being hit with defaults on loans. Now the hedge funds carry them.

Oh..... it's coming and when it comes there will be big bank survivors until loans are due again. Hedge funds will go the way of the dinosaur....... so long as banks make it through.
That is just one of many black swans lurking in these CraZy times ahead.

Just get $BNED up to $25 or so. A partnership with a big name may bring even more. Someone knows something about $BNED.

Lol nice analogies and observations. I agree...

I'm just not sure how much they're bleeding. And we know the extent they're willing to go to continue this fraud... But on the flipside, we've seen the smaller hedgefunds go UNDER these past few years LOL

Looking good the last couple of days. From the article I read, this looks very bullish.

added more. New average $10.50. Looking good today

Still here, waiting patiently.
Want pretty nurse....... must be patient.

Naked shorts are trapped in $GME. Just allowing it to maintain its current price.
They get clobbered by whales buying if they send $GME down and get clobbered by Ryan Cohen doing another ATM
if they let it run.

We'll see what is in store for this ticker. Barnes and Noble is a well known store like Toys R Us and Sears........ we'll see.

Patient as the jackel who waits for the lions and hyenas to clear from the carcass.

Returned to HOD

One day of 50-150 million volume.... Is all it will take... When you least expect BOOM & we're back to 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s.... 100? Lol 100 is Far off stretch, but i think it's fair to get back anywhere between $30 & $50 range.

It can even dump back to $7-$8... even though it seems more probable for this scenario given the market conditions, Liquidity, high interest rates, recession... I doubt the likelihood of it going back down and instead continuing to rise until some big piece of news drops

Still here bro? Patience is hard pill to swallow in these times lol....

This management has to force a short squeeze somehow to keep the vultures away.

Moving up on 100k volume from $9.80s to $10.50s

Nice baby move

Soon will be 11-12 range

Still tanked from $35 to $6 in like 2 days... piece of sh!ts couldn't save their company from getting shorted then? And now what... goes up and down .50 cents a day for almost 2 months now lol...

Actually down from $200 to $6 if you zoom out a few months... that's a big drop... even from $100 to $10 is a 90% drop LOL...

I am invested here, but i would exercise caution.. I'm just waiting for the next pump and dump to get out, straight up

Yeah or Ryan Cohen lol

Something may be in the works here. There are those who are buying and buying. Gotta be a reason.

Unfortunately I didn’t see Bned till a short while ago. I grabbed just under the 10 buck mark. Seems to runs in a 9.50 to 10.30 trough. What is in the future here? Don’t hear much of what is going on behind the scenes. Would be nice if Elon or some deep pockets would buy this struggling company.

Should have taken a starter at $6-7 brother... let's hope this continues upward many of us are sitting at higher averages than $10 as it is, so expect a lot of selling for those trying to recover along the way

Took a starter @ $10.00

Looking better

Nothing new.

More buying than selling today. Kind of like it. Any new news here?

Good luck. I'm staying away from anything associated with that felon.

MEME stocks are my plays.

I don't care about stocks, and money anymore... it has about as much value as you attribute to it. Without allegiance to the one who blesses you with it, it has absolutely no worth.

To me money is just a means to an end. It doesn't mean happiness, some of the richest people in the world are some of the most miserable people on the planet. Money is a means by which I can do good for others as well as take care of myself.
Give me my fishing reels and rods, a place to stay, and a vehicle by which to reach the beach and I'm as happy as a person can be. Too much to do in this life and so little time.

I think i could manage in a small shack in the Mediterranean isolated away from everyone, picking fruits and herbs and living amongst nature. Lol... I'm living in the wrong country managed by the wrong people, teaching the wrong ideals, chasing money, power, self interest... to what avail? You take nothing when you die, only your good and evil works...

My father's sister before her death told me my father needed very little to keep him happy. Guess the apple doesn't fall from the tree. I'm the same way.
And to your point about material things and money........ there are no pockets in the coffin. Nobody takes a thing with them except what they have experienced and learned in this life. Life is a learning process. Life is about helping others, not just about helping yourself.

Karma also plays a role as each action gets a reaction back. The good people do will follow as will the bad things people do.
Life is funny. Life is like a train station, and we all have a ticket on that final train ride out. What we do while we wait is our path we choose.

Getting back to $BNED, I think you are right. Too many are dumping money into this play. $40 will be a good start. If higher even better. I am reduced to 10 shares, but it can still be rewarding. We'll see.

All the best~!

I think something is a-building for our ticker as well... Once i get out of this, I'm gonna jump into Trumps ticker. I have a feeling, he'll pull an Elon Musk and blow up his ticker crushing all those which short it frequently. And anyone who supports Trump will likely follow suit.

The 3 books are similar in stories and rules because they originated from the same source. People fight over my book is better and yours is inferior... but when you look at the inner workings of each group, you find that there are divisions in beliefs amongst everyone. That is why every faith split. At the time of Jesus, the jews would have been at the correct path. Similarly, at the time of Muhommad, Muslims would have been at the most correct path. And i would even accept that at the time of Muhommad, there would have been Christians closest to the truth compared to today... now i look to Unitarian Christians and Jehovahwitness' and I begin to find appreciation for them. Islam was to receive a Messiah too, the masses believe it is Jesus, i don't quite agree with this. The jews thought Elijah would return, but Jesus told them he indeed did, in the person of John (Yahya). I think the end times Messiah was to follow the same laws of nature. And i further believe that Jesus lived longer than people think he did and left the lands where they were out to kill him. After all, there were only 2 tribes around him, the rest were scattered towards the middle east and Asia. That is why Muslims came to be of these lands, they were once Christians and Jews... my family actually migrated from Palestine to Kashmir and my aunt likes to remind us that we came from one of the 12 tribes. So we are all connected.

And I would argue in favor that even the other religions of the world originated from the same source, only that when a Prophet dies, their message is left to the interpretation of followers and the exploitation through leaders with nefarious-intent. But the core message is always evident between the faiths. Some may begin holding the prophets and scholars as gods... So much division in the world, but it is OKAY, as long as people tolerate and educate one another with peace.

Thus, it is always important to manage and maintain interfaith discussions throughout the world so God's loyalest of servants can affix their beliefs to that which makes the most sense to them. It is a lifelong journey, and lineage is important to acknowledge too sometimes. Where were your ancestors, what path were they on, where did they go.

I find that stories of reverts are my favorite. To hear the personal stories of discoveries of dreams (which can be communication with God, The Most High). Debates, too, are so prescious. They allow the viewer to make contrasts between tenpermants of speakers, facts verses fiction and theories.

I got challenged in my beliefs by my significant other's family. It was a very difficult experience which lasted several months and it seems, it's just getting started. I undertook the decision to study this year and rediscovered the scriptures as well as history. I'm not yet done, i have a long way to go.

Similarly, i applied my ability to contrast during the Scamdemic lol... and i listened to my peers in the Broadcast industry as well as those they upheld as their "pundits" lol... I watched the narrative on television, listened to it on the radio, watched all the liars in Hollywood in government. And came to one conclusion... Evil intent or Mass-Formation Psychosis. And it was then that I realized I'm not a follower... a Servant of God, yes, but not a blind sheep of worldly affairs.

Believe me, i tried to guide thousands away from all the 99 agendas of Globalists, and i haven't yet called it quits... but it is indeed a difficult task to sway people's opinions while being careful of how one governs his words and conduct.

I liken to the story of John in which he isolated himself away from people, away from marriage to maintain his relationship with God. People must have thought him crazy, indeed he was immersed in his love for God. He wanted no distractions. An honorable man, the son of Zakaria, cousin of Mary, uncle of Jesus, Peace Be Upon Them. Sometimes, i feel i want to escape from western society, and go live isolated in a cave or forest and endure the remainder of my life away from distractions of the world, without a smart phone, without internet. Just me my books and God. When my parents had married, my father bumped into his uncle at the Mosque and explained that they were having trouble in having a child. My uncle told my father to give the prayer of Zakaria when he prayed to Allah for a son to carry his name and legacy. A short time later my father gave the news to his uncle that my mother was pregnant with me lol... Both my parents passed away, my father would have been about your age, born in 1951. It brought me a great deal of joy to bump into my uncle at the Mosque a few weeks back and hear this story. I was in tears reading the stories of John and Loot, Jesus, Muhommad, Abraham. Peace be upon them all. Imagine when the angels approached Prophet Loot and the evil people of the town came to question him of his guests and he offered up his daughters to spare his guests. What a horrific feeling to live in such a time.

You know what the Qur'an says about John (Prophet Yahya).

"Peace be upon him the day he was born, the day he died and the day he shall be raised up to life again (the day of Resurrection)."

I don't care about stocks, and money anymore... it has about as much value as you attribute to it. Without allegiance to the one who blesses you with it, it has absolutely no worth.

I think i could manage in a small shack in the Mediterranean isolated away from everyone, picking fruits and herbs and living amongst nature. Lol... I'm living in the wrong country managed by the wrong people, teaching the wrong ideals, chasing money, power, self interest... to what avail? You take nothing when you die, only your good and evil works...

Excellent post. It is funny how the Qur'an, the Bible, and other books of other faiths are similar in what they teach.

And even with the diversity of religion comes a common denominator.

I'm Catholic but have an open mind to other religions as well. Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Judaism, mine........ all kind of interwoven. The American Indians also had some beliefs I gravitate to. All things living have a spirit.

Really enjoyed that. Thanks~!

Getting back to $BNED I see that the share structure looks like this:
From Yahoo (take that with a bag of salt)

Avg Vol (3 month) 3 552.91k
Avg Vol (10 day) 3 645.68k
Shares Outstanding 5 26.21M
Implied Shares Outstanding 6 26.21M
Float 8 12.69M
% Held by Insiders 1 59.58%
% Held by Institutions 1 20.47%

If this is anywhere near accurate then I am pretty confident something is going to happen here. Nice price rise today and volume was decent.

unfortunately, it will take a great suffering to humble everyone and we are at three cusp of that

The "great suffering" to humble people may be the end of the age. That unfortunately may be in the cards if the Heritage Foundation gets their wish.

I think all people must return to faith, whether through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism etc and come back to having interfaith discussions amongst one another to pursue and uphold the laws.

BINGO~! That would be a pleasant happening wouldn't it~?

The Qur'an says, no people are special over another

Another excellent point. 100%~!

Not going to quote any verse or scripture from the bible, but this is a very scary time. 1930s Germany~? IMO very close. We are all of different cultures, religions, races...... but we are all human. 99.8% genetically identical to Chimpanzees. All of us.
Makes one wonder with all that is going on in the world and right here in the States.

Been saying it since 2016 up until 2020....... a clear and present danger to not just the United States but to the world at large. The hate is VERY evident.

The book of revelations is a prophecy~? I dunno....... but it sure looks like people value material goods more than themselves doesn't it~? Ya think population, global warming, climate change, out stripping natural resources and food supply should be issues~? Some people scoff at the idea. They reject science, the news, education, and thrive on conspiracies and natural cycles as being the truth. The experts and scholars are wrong. A dope who couldn't pass his tests and had someone take them for him is the brightest bulb in the package. A failure at everything, yet people believe the opposite because he says so over and over and over. Money and a pure power play is all this is about anymore. Without WallStreet Bets and Reddit blowing the whistle on $GME then on $AMC and other MEME stocks the banks would be doing what they do without anyone being the wiser. CrAzY~!

Yep, buckle up buttercup........ I've lived through the best of times. People are going to have to learn how to survive and do without the latest and greatest just like my parents did and their immigrant parents did before them.
People now-a-days are ill equipped to do so. How to skin wild game may be the order of the day, not looking up how to do it on YouTube.

And you are right as rain........ people need to start going back to church, synagogue, mosque, temple......... and values we held before must be adhered to again. I miss the Leave It To Beaver/Father Knows Best days.

Today anything goes including dismissing Democracy. our Constitution, and people's rights.
Scary times...... I'm older but don't want to see anything more happen. January 6th was enough for me and it wasn't a "dust up" non event. That my friend was an attempted coup against this great nation and all it stands for.
My opinion and I stand firmly behind it as did my father in WWII.

GLTY

Hope $BNED shoots the moon. Could stand to buy some gold before it gets to much higher.

Yes, absolutely, I'm not worried about the young generations, i think societies have regressed enough for change to take place or rather for people to demand change. A revolution is upon us. And i couldn't be happier reflecting upon the past few few years and then diving back a couple of centuries, and then 2 thousand years and just contrasting between. I think all people must return to faith, whether through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism etc and come back to having interfaith discussions amongst one another to pursue and uphold the laws. Then a great blessing will come to the world... unfortunately, it will take a great suffering to humble everyone and we are at three cusp of that lol....

The Qur'an says, no people are special over another in the following verses:

Chapter 2 Verse 62

"Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

Chapter 62 Verse 6

"Say, 'O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are favored by Allah to the exclusion of other people, then wish for death if you should be truthful.'"

It even teaches not to insult other's idols:

Chapter 6 Verses 108/109:

"And revile not those whom they call upon beside Allah, lest they, out of spite, revile Allah, in their ignorance. Thus unto every people have We caused their doing to seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return; and He will inform them of what they used to do."

Then as for the current state of the world of greed and self-interest, as opposed to doing acts of Good and charity etc, while abstaining from gambling, wastefulness and doing evil with money instead of good, I found this:

Ayah al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:268.

The Devil threatens you with ?the prospect of? poverty and bids you to the shameful deed ?of stinginess?, while Allah promises you forgiveness and ?great? bounties from Him. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing. Satan promises you poverty and orders you to commit immoral acts.

People like to take verses out of context, but there is nothing unjust or wrong in the Qur'an which doesn't fit in line with previous scriptures or add contrast to them. Similarly, Jesus came to uphold the previous laws, remind of the covenant, and make some of the harshness easy upon them. Many accepted and Christianity formed in noble persuits. And that is why a certain honor of given to Good, God fearing Christians at the advent of Prophet Muhommad, because they accepted the Messiah and cast aside arrogance and ignorance.

Chapter 5 Verse 82:

You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.

Agree. Was born in the mid 1950s. Have seen it all. A child of a WWII vet wounded in combat.
This corruption has no place in a "free market" system where MMs and banks sit on regulators BoDs.
From FINRA to the DTC, to rule 203 b-2c fill before locate, to Acceptance Waiver and Consent forms for felonies committed
by banks, to the DTC Continuous Net Settlement Program.......... all put in place to help those who do not play by the rules in my opinion.

So happy to hear the younger generations are tired of this BUNKO perpetrated on retail investors, pensions and institutions who play by the rules. I'll be worm food, but you guys will have to keep up the fight. The 1%ers will do anything to maintain power. Anything........... as we are seeing. The only rule of law may soon be their rule of law.

Hoping $BNED does very well in the near term. Very few plays have worked out for me so far, but the night is young.

Patience...........

Yeah agreed... i think this entire ponzi scheme system of fraud which was created in the west with Quantitative Easing, other Nefarious policies, crooked families is being exposed everyday... and the common people are beginning to demand change... everywhere in the world.

The young generation is sick and tired of the fraud which was allowed to continue at the hands of the previous generations.

From bad religious leaders to bad politicians, crooked Hollywood and & Entertainment actors, evil self-proclaimed kings and queens all over the world. And they are not going to put up with it... I was born in the 80s, but i side with those new generations, i have been calling out b.s since my term with the CBC ended and i decided to go upon a different career path rather than remain a prostitute of information for the Government and Advertisers. F. That nonsense.

Lies have been passed off as truth for far too long (since about the mid 1800s) and after 2020 these cockroaches went too far... And now, I will educate people about their fraud until it is reversed and societies move in the direction of equality and justice. Away from greed and self-interest. No more #FreeLunches for greedy evil people exploiting the emotions of the common people.

$10 weeeeeeeee.

Not that this video has anything to do with this play, but as a retail investor, pension, or institution who plays by the rules the amount of market fraud is unbelievable. They just keep pumping new things out there and nobody stops them.

We are over $9 again

I bought .35 cents.... same day sub .30... next day .15-.17... next day .08-.10 cents

Believe me, i know where you're coming from... and I'm still holding.

May God's curse be upon the liars, thieves, and manipulators forever. May their future generations pay for their dirty work.

Not trying to pump this like the other dick did........ but this could be tied to Teddy somehow.
Not saying it is. If 100s of thousands of dollars are being pumped into this....... then someone knows something.

There was/is a method to their madness. Just not a happy camper right now. No apologies to the pumptard even if he was right. That dude is a pumpfest galore.

As Sinatra says "Some people just like stomping on a dream"

One day of 5-20 million volume is all it will take to send this one up $40+... one day... even if i have to hold this bag for 2 years.... I'm gonna get t.f. out Green lol

CEO and insiders buying up 100s of thousands of dollars worth of stock. They are preparing for something for sure...

If true, this is going somewhere in the near term as in days/weeks as well as the long term of they bring further developments into the education industry.

Virtual Schooling perhaps?

Has to go to 35 for me to break even

Lol yeah... who knows... it keeps pressing upward slowly.... maybe the hedgefarts that run this ticker are trying to induce buying

Has to go up to $27 in order for me to recoup. Yes, a buyout or merger to send the SP to $40~? I'd take that in a NY heartbeat.

News of a buyout would be blessed for $40+per share which is where she was trading at before the great dump back to 52 week lows lol...

Buyout by any major corporation who wishes to go into the education industry

50-100 pump and dump coming?

Back in the 8s... once again... anyone who loaded a thousand shares in the 6s is up by a couple of grand lol... not bad...

Any bit of news sends this flying... for another pump and dump... my initial investment was .35 cents... so The only way out was to average down LOL.... thank God i only wagered a small piece of the pie

Of course it doesn't matter, that was the tail end of an era of Quantitative Easing... The Money dried up, and the share prices tanked....

That's what happens when you print and give away trillions of dollars in cash at the expense of tax payers... the wealthy understand and take advantage, the poor just gamble on emotion.

There's no food investments other than in yourself, a business or commodities.

BNED the past doesn’t matter

Great assessment and post. About sums it up totally.

As George Donahue video explains just about all tickers are naked shorted with the exception of Berkshire Hathaway.
Your quote below, same thing.
It looks repetitive as F. In literally every ticker except the ones backed by strong finances...
"They" naked short because they can. If they get caught, they sign an acceptance wavier and consent, pay a small fine, and it's business as usual.

Donahue also posted another video recently about Companies CEOs who complain to the SEC about their companies being attacked and hosed. The CEOs complaining about the attacks on their Companies are now being investigated by the SEC for market manipulation and fraud. Who is FINRA~?
Then banks and MMs are FINRA. Same with the DTCC. The regulators are the BANKS and MMs like Citadel and Virtu.


So, if you are a CEO of MMTLP for instance and we all know the MMTLP story, and you complain to the SEC about your Company being hosed you get investigated by the SEC for trying to manipulate your stock when your stock is being attacked. Does that even make sense~? The SEC knows the market is rife with corruption. They know all stocks are naked shorted with one or two exceptions.

Nvidia, Microsoft, along with other Companies in the Magnificent 7 all cook their books. Can't wait until they get caught doing it. Wonder if anybody will go to jail when all of that is exposed~? Probably not. Company will get fines, and some will get fired taking their golden parachutes with them only to do the same thing at another Company when a buddy hires them in.

Posters like the 🤡 that pops in and out should be found and thrown the hell in jail for what the SEC accuses CEOs of doing.
CEOs are just trying to point out the FACTS the SEC refuses to see because the SEC protects those that naked short. This is not enforcement over reach by the SEC. It's protection for the 1%ers, Companies and retail investors can blow it out their
exhaust pipe.

One silver lining to all of this horse crap is that there are way too many bubbles "they" created coming at them like the commercial real estate crisis, the buy now pay later crisis, the derivatives market (Japan as an example), and many more
somewhat smaller ones...... like $AMC and $GME when they MOASS.

Agree with gold and silver. Fiat is done. They want to go to the CBDC so they can control what we spend our money on and how much we get. Perhaps how long our life expectancy should be as well. Cut out SSI and Medicare, save the money for themselves. Yeah man....... it's so F'd up.

I think they work for the Shorts and double dip by shorting themselves too... You can go long on a low floater and short once the run is over... seems that way...

If i had a bagillion dollars and i was an a$$hole... i would play both sides because my money controls the outcome... so you can make money both ways... just don't want to get trapped either direction and especially if retail aggressively pumps a ticker, (which i don't believe to be true, i think with GME & AMC for instance large entities were playing both sides... then eventually, retail traders would run out of gas... or get scared with a little dip and cash out for losses... but then the pricks pump it again and retail buys in yet again and they pull the plug and short again...

It looks repetitive as F. In literally every ticker except the ones backed by strong finances... IE when Porsche had a financial interest in what was is Volvo? And someone shorted it, so Porsche turned around and bought in heavy and drove the price to $1000+ killing the shorts LOL... i mean it does happen....

But these days, people's financial capabilities are tighter... i see it in my groups, people are quiet because they're stressed or they've lost too much.

Stock market is literally a tool for the rich to convince the middle class & poor to join in so that they can take their money... it's not like decades ago where you could witness slow steady growth.... Quantitative Easing, garbage policies, crooked governments, institutions and CEOs f*d everything up. When QE came around, executives took that free and cheap money and bought the stock UP... Then sold it to others for less on the dollar, then play their reverse Splits and share offering games when QE was over... Stupid system it is...

I say, earn in cash, buy gold and silver or invest in a business... Stock market is only good for 5-10% swings repeatedly over the course of time without leaving anything in over night
