NB: They sold 25M shares at ~$20/share. That's probably much more than what they paid for these shares but it's nowhere near where GME was over the past few days.

GME's 52 week low is $2.57.

Without knowing when they entered their position. It was hovering around $4 for a long time last year.

Even if they bought in at $5, selling at $20 is absolutely a win. Yes, they could have gambled and HODL'd, but there's no reason to gamble after seeing a 4x increase on a stock very few people expected would ever break $10.

Just to clarify from the article - the Ontario Pension Fund was invested and cashed out stock in a commercial real estate company called Macerich that was getting associated with Gamestop on /r/wsb, not Gamestop itself.

Not that they had any way of knowing what would happen. $20 could have been the peak for all anyone knew, and by the end of next week selling at $20 might look like a smart move.
