However, my favorite momentum indicators are either bearish or neutral on the stock. The <i>Accumulation/Distribution Line</i> and <i>Negative Volume Index</i> are amazingly weak for a stock not in price decline, while <i>On Balance Volume</i> has done nothing positive since March.

However, a price break below $183 (the 200-day moving average) could mean a serious sell-off from its overvaluation plateau may be starting.</p>\n<p>I come up with possible upside of $250 a share in 12 months, to a worst-case scenario well under $100 per share. I rate the shares a<i>Neutral</i>to<i>Avoid</i>selection for rational investors. There are hundreds of other stocks with better risk/reward setups than GameStop. And, I write about the strongest buy propositions I can find on Wall Street in my articles. All told, I would prefer to own any of the five peer companies mentioned in this article over GameStop for buy-and-hold portfolio designs.

Under such a scenario, newbie and weaker-hand owners of the stock could sell en masse, just like they bought during January. If business sales trends fail to meet expectations in a recession next year, valuations may not support the stock until $100 or even $50 a share is reached. At least, that’s how past recessions and stock market busts have affected leading mania picks, opposite of the straight up ride during the boom.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>If The Meme Stock Craze Is Ending, GameStop Isn't Worth Much</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIf The Meme Stock Craze Is Ending, GameStop Isn't Worth Much\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-11-29 16:06 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4472163-meme-stock-craze-ending-gamestop-worth><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nThe meme trading craze looks to have ended, threatening GameStop's share supply/demand balance.\nValuations have overshot any rational financial analysis or backing by the underlying business....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4472163-meme-stock-craze-ending-gamestop-worth\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GME":"游戏驿站"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4472163-meme-stock-craze-ending-gamestop-worth","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1137228068","content_text":"Summary\n\nThe meme trading craze looks to have ended, threatening GameStop's share supply/demand balance.\nValuations have overshot any rational financial analysis or backing by the underlying business.\nGameStop's short squeeze fuel no longer exists.\nPotential downside appears to be far greater than upside for 2022.\n\nEthan Miller/Getty Images News\nI have written a number of articles on GameStop(NYSE:GME) over the years, mostly bullish and one bearish take on the stock.
