In this clip from The Call @ Hedgeye, Retail analyst Brian McGough highlights how GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen took approximately a 10% stake in Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), and why he doesn’t buy into the hype.

“Blood Bath & Beyond is terminal,” explains McGough. “There is nothing that could be done to fix that. I have thought through this a thousand times over. This stock is up here because the short interest has gone from 24% probably to zero.”

McGough elaborates further that, “I’m very much inclined to go heavy short against Ryan Cohen. I’m not part of the Ryan Cohen fan club where I will do blindly anything he does. He’s just an investor who makes big bets and occasionally makes wrong big bets. And he is making a wrong bet right now.”
