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. | ||

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? | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

A private company that doesn't need to open up their books doesn't seem smart. 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. | ||

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. | ||
