    Fuck Robinhood, it should be illegal … especially the restrictions on stocks that were not pumped but was limited just in case. This is clear market manipulation, I could not buy those stocks on RH but every other broker allowed trades on them, only RH limited them. It would be fair if all of them did, but that wasn’t the case. The rich could still get their orders in, but the “dumb money” gets screwed. Fuck RH and Fuck the SEC, clearly they are bought and paid for.

    They think they are bad guys? THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS
    they dynamically adjust the limit so that AMC never goes over a specific value, because it is also pretty badly shorted.

    If the FCC looks what the short are doing 6:18 then why can a stock be shorted 140%?

      It’s not illegal to allow hedge funds to short ladder the stock while we are sidelined? Okay buddy we will see what the courts have to say about that.

    You can always tell by the age of the speaker whether they are lying, if they are old enough to have made money off the little guy, they do not side with the young or the little guy

    Probably a reason why he is a former counsel member. He has no authority now and is probably paid millions to say some dumb shit. Courts decide not you buddy. How can it not be illegal to stop our trading meanwhile the hedge fund ducks sit there and short ladder the fuck outta the stock while we are sidelined.

    It is not true that nobody ever fights the shortseller, they almost ALWAYS fight back. Sometimes the stock price goes so low either management or a white knight make a tender offer. This is a rare case where the company will be able to sell shares at a high price to bail itself out.

    This guy is an idiot and discredited himself in the first few minutes.

    #1 – Robinhood knows how many shares their clients own. That’s not secret. It used to be tracked through robintrack. However, they’re obviously not the only broker. I had 2000 shares at one point and I’m not with Robinhood.
    #2 – if it was huge institutional money, they need to disclose any ownership over 5% via a 13g form.

    Why do the billionaires control what stocks and companies make it and what ones don’t. They set the market. That’s why the market doesn’t reflect our economy. It’s all a big game they have locked down where they shovel money into bank accounts and when we figure it out they flip out.

    This squeeze is not done by another hedge fund, if another hedge fund did this they would be putting themselves out of business through regulation rules that will spring up as a result, this guy is obviously lying.
