GameStop Earnings Are a Gold Mine

The past five years haven't been kind to investors in GameStop , but the company's recent earnings suggest that the times could be quickly changing. After reporting earnings last week, the company's share price is up nearly 8%, and it's climbed than 100% year to date. These share-price gains are largely a function of the next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft supporting used games, but judging from GameStop's most recent earnings release, the party could just be getting started.
