What scares me and prevents me from investing more than just play money is that if the platforms can throttle buys so easily, they could eventually do the same for the sell activity.
Absolutely not. They have to let you sell if there is a market. They can stop new positions but cannot stop you from exiting a current one.

One day you'll see the light.

It's a free market. If you want to piss your money away on a shitty stock like gamestop then that's on you. Pumping a shite stock is not manipulation as that stock is not guaranteed to keep going up. People would eventually wise up and sell. Everyone knows that Removing the power to buy is 100% market manipulation as you are capping any future upside and it will 100% go down. GME is down becuase there was no longer any future upside as the stock can no longer be bought. Robinhood and TD ameritrade were just the first dominos. If the rally had continued you know the other retail brokerages would have followed.

Absolutely not. They have to let you sell if there is a market. They can stop new positions but cannot stop you from exiting a current one.
Hell, they already do that.
If the market is tanking, what do they do?
They shut the entire thing down.

We finally got Ja to make sense of all of this.

This is it exactly. As long as “they” keep us divided “they” can maintain control.
The perfect issue to truly see how things work is food stamps. Those of a certain political vent rail about “lazy welfare recipients” filling their buggy with steak and lobster before the drive off in an Escalade.
But when it comes time to vote, other than the occasional smoke and mirrors game, nothing really changes. Why?
Because CitiBank makes billions issuing EBT cards. Wal Mart, McDonalds, Circle K, Chick-fil-a and others have labor models based upon their workers receiving food stamps, Medicaid and section 8 to provide for basic needs. Then those places get a second helping because of the “disposable” income created. Verizon and At&T sell more phones because people don’t have to use money to buy food.
The Dems say “oh we care about you we’ll protect your stamps” and the Reps say “oh we care about you give us a tax cut and we will get rid of welfare abuse which is what hurts you”
Then they both do their corporate overloads bidding.

quote:Citadel is one of the ones that feeds RH. Citadel is the one who threw in 2.5 billion for Melvin to continue on his short on GME. Also all those other stocks, bb, nok, amc, were just distraction stocks to tie up money there instead of GME. Now they dropped the price to them right before 9 am, right when RH users can start buying. Then they stopped them from buying those stocks but only sell, while the stock is lower than what most bought in at.
Class action lawsuit incoming. This is straight up market manipulation by Citadel.
Its just fricking too obvious, but will anything happen? Hopefully they just end up homeless on teh streets from all the money they lost.

It hit $120 and popped back to $230. This is the most bizarre stock market occurrence I’ve ever seen.

Provide a link right here to my thread about someone with balls wearing a dress.
Asking for that specifically because I couldn't care less about it. Wear a garbage can for all I care. Or whatever it is you weirdo A&M fans do. .
I'm far more concerned with pressing issues that matter to OT'rs, such as the possibility of war between suburban parishes. The absolute certainty that Texas will leave the US and fight over Lake Charles. Or thoughtful, intellectual discussions on topics like which trucks are owned by the biggest girly-men.

From WSB
It’s unlikely anyone is selling. This is a short ladder. It only looks like the stock is selling off, ini reality, it’s not. Hedge funds sell back and forth with one another at lower and lower bids in rapid succession, tricking algorithms into thinking there is a mass sell off when there actually isn’t. (They do this to scare off retail investors to engineer a sell off).
Once the attack is over, the stock will normally go back up due to its demand. Then they will rinse and repeat their attack, each time hoping to chip away more and more retail investors. Most people in here know this, so if retail investors are selling, it’s unlikely that it’s anyone at all.
Then Citadel is the one that pays RH for their money order (meaning they skim off the top when you order, why you think you get it for free). Also Melvin is one of the companies that shorted GME and lost 15% in Jan and then got a 2.5 billion loan from Citadel to continue on with the short. Also Citadel is a market maker, who is supposed to be neutral but we see that they delisted these stocks, so far from neutral. This is just the tip too baw. I can insert the rest of it in on ya if you want me too.

But will be crushed by the big money GOBN I'm sure.
Here's what is sickening. Big money shorts a dying company just to watch it die and make a mint. Little retailer played their game, essentially won but the GOBN - that same group who "cares about America and the common man" does anything possible to keep the club in tact. Real people with little money to lose don't matter today. No one is going to help. It's all in now to manipulate the market for the sake of the whales.
Here's your so-called civil war. Wall St. It's not boys playing girl's sports.
Your post inspired me to pawn all my shite and buy call options on ticker symbol GUY: The International Guy Fawkes Mask Conglomerate, GMBH.
