   it’s the free market, people should be able to buy and sell as they please. seems like M1’s hand was forced here though, so can’t put any blame on them

   Here is a simple and honest explanation of the facts.
   CNBC, Bloomberg and other MSM are trying to spin the facts and confuse the viewers.

   Can high trade in one stock really cause liquidity problem or is it just one more excuse to protect the short sellers?

     Yes, it really can, and Robinhood is in the midst of a meltdown right now. The list of restricted stocks on that platform isn’t just limited to WSB-targeted, heavily shorted stocks anymore. It now includes everything from Starbucks to General Motors, with market caps far too big for the kind of dramatic price action seen in GME. Ripple effects from this ridiculous fiasco. Clients leaving them by the thousands doesn’t help their capitalization problems.

     Robinhood deserves to fail as a result of this. Gamestop stock has been a topic for a while now. If RH could foresee this issue and did nothing about it, then they were in on it, and if they couldn’t foresee it, they’re too oblivious to be in business.

     @Doctor Poopypantz no one could foresee this event.

     He isn’t though. Clearing houses are a necessary backend component.

     @Kyle Zawacki but say i had gamestop stock… And their decision to restrict allowing buying of Gamestop stock cost me money, because that decision led to 58% crash in the value of Gamestop stock….

     Are these platforms going to pay me the loses I incurred due to their decision? Are they?

     If not, doesn’t that constitute financial fraud???

   There’s a huge gap in the market for a brokerage that doesn’t screw its own customers

     Schwab restricted some stuff, mostly margin stuff, and other option stuff. But there was no restriction on cash buys.

    All of a sudden its due to the market dynamics that there are now concerns in margins and options because they didnt have the funds to cover. Sounds like a flaw in the system – screw the short sellers. Even out the DECADES of the greedy rich. Power to the people!

    So who pays the people who lost money due to Robinhood decision to restrict buying of Gamestop stock?? It lost 58% after Robinhood’s move…

    Doesn’t that constitute fraud??

    I just want to know who is going to jail.

    Started interview off strong but then stumbled at the end there. Either way I actually like M1.

    Built for long term investing which, generally speaking, will remain relatively unaffected but the market frenzy. Yet I still got an email from them explaining what’s going in the market and their decisions. They seem to have better communication with their users

    So when the wrong people win, we can’t let that happen?
