For years now, I have been very bearish on a company that I personally have many fond memories of and wish all of the success to. I remember the days when I used to line up outside of my local GameStop ( GME ) location, waiting for the release of the latest in the Call of Duty franchise. But those days are long gone.

The good news is that the company has a tremendous amount of cash on hand. We are also seeing some signs of stability from a profit and cash flow perspective.
