Event summary
Michael Burry, known from "The Big Short," has sold his entire GameStop (GME) stake after its CEO, Ryan Cohen, made an audacious $55.5 billion offer to acquire eBay (EBAY). Burry stated his "Instant Berkshire" thesis for GameStop was not compatible with the high leverage required for a deal of such magnitude, warning about dangerous debt-to-EBITDA ratios. GameStop shares subsequently fell as investors questioned the feasibility of the proposed acquisition.
