These boys with 💎 🙌

I’m so rooting for y’all. I’m sad I didn’t buy one share when I had the chance just so I can say I was a part of this.

I put in a sell order at 5000 this morning. Wonder if that’s me.

Oof, yeah, rough day, will be interesting to see what comes out of it.

Bought a couple protective puts with earnings yesterday an hour before close from . Looks like I didn't buy enough, sold them at 14.5 today.

Down only 4k because of that (would have been closer to 50k otherwise), which is a relief, but man, I was so bullish on today. Guess I'll hold BB from here, I dunno.

So there is speculation that Citadel reloaded their shorts across the board before Robinhood banned trades on said stocks. If true then they need to head to prison.

What I don't understand is how a PRIVATE company can have that much influence in the market.

If you care about the integrity of the market, how can you have a private company executing 40% of the trades? They could literally cause a cascading recession if they wanted to. Big eye opener for me, hopefully there's a lot of attention put on it.

It's too bad though, because even if there is a lawsuit, they don't have enough equity to cover the cascading effect they caused.

Are you suggesting there should be government interference in the market-making market? Maybe a governmental brokerage firm?
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

You’re not the only one. A lot of people are putting selling orders at $5k.

I’m just over here buying dips through E*TRADE. Although they stopped letting new accounts purchase AMC and GME, etcc.. which is wack.

Is that a bad idea?

Honestly I don't know much about how it works, but keeping the integrity of our markets should be a fundamental right or whatever. Same idea as net neutrality.

I'm not sure how you go about achieving that, but strict regulations on how the middle man can act seem important to me. A private company that doesn't need to open up their books doesn't seem smart.

didn't regulators epicly fail with the 2008 mortgage crisis? Why would it end differently in this situation?

Not saying the current situation is fine and should be kept. But maybe the solution is to not allow this sort of speculative trading to exist in the first place, rather then try to regulate it.

This post from an alleged Robinhood employee is impressive (also available on reddit, worth noting it's locked for being at least partially dubious):

"From the White House" is really quite amazing if true. No surprise about the money men wanting GME shut down, of course.

Smells fake to me. Probably mostly true in terms of what went down but I doubt that a low level tech overheard the founder planning a conspiracy.

I'm inclined to agree. Reading the thread more closely people rightfully point out the story doesn't quite add up. Generated enough noise to be worth acknowledging though.

Ideally you'd have something like a commission which regulates unusual or harmful securities behavior on the major exchanges. Something that would keep people from behaving in a harmful fashion.

Bonus points if such an organization is not also gutted by the direction of the people who would stand to gain from a reduced amount of regulation to make money by playing dirty with market manipulation.

GME almost back to yesterday's close in after-hours trading. Can't stop won't stop!

Though, I hear Friday was the magic day for many calls to expire worthless at $300, so the market manipulators have gotten what they wanted.

There are two people in one of the reddit threads claiming that their partial shares somehow managed to sell at 2,600 for 1 share. (they had about .1 of a share so total profit was about 200 for their partial shares). Not sure if this is true or not, but if that's the case, if trading wasn't shut down today, today might've very well seen the stock skyrocket and been squeezed. It's going to be absolute chaos tomorrow.
