OT: Stock trading

[Dibbie]

As an older more conservative investor, it feels so good to be a small part of this movement!

I've been trying to sell some of my AAL shares thru Fidelity and it's giving me an error every time.....such BS

When the stock market tanked last March due to Covid, I was looking to shift my Vanguard 401k to aggressive stock funds to take advantageof the drop. Their website system wouldn't let me do it, and when I called I'd wait two hours and then get disconnected. I was only asking to be able to make changes. I complained to my company's HR, and Vanguard made a change without my consent.... Vanguard sucks. I recently closed my account and moved my money elsewhere.

I grabbed NOK and Naked just for kicks

 

[WhereistheDove?]

5 mins ago it was at $2.50. It's now over $3.25.

I got out of half my position yesterday at 2.65. If it spikes to 4, I'm dumping the rest. I'll take my 3-400% one day return and be happy.

Naked seemed too weird, a small position in NOK similarly just to peek into the party

Honestly, NOK doesn't have terrible fundamentals. That's the lowest risk play. They beat analyst expectations a quarter a go. They remain a significant supplier to building out mobile networks.

$nok down 20%. good buying opportunity, or is this the "dump" part of "pump & dump"?

I bought more @ 5$ this more for a longer swing trade

 

[Hi-Low]

Was going to buy AMC this am @19....happy I didn't. It's below 8 now

 

[Jay-Bone]

that have not a clue how this all works.

Nobody does, this has never happened before.

 

[Chin Diesel]

There will be entire college classes built on what has happened this month. This won't be a paragraph, a chapter or a week's worth of lectures.

 

[Deepster]

Was going to buy AMC this am @19....happy I didn't. It's below 11 now

I bought it at 12 and it's at 9 currently. I'm in for the ride now. If they open it up to buy, I am not missing that.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Naked down to 1.78

 

[CTBasketball]

So what are they going to do? Keep delisting them until they go to $0.00 and have to declare bankruptcy?

I don’t get how the media isn’t in an uproar.

 

[aburks41]

My $GME puts are down 95% hahaha kill me

edit: nvm theyre back up. This is funny

 

[methodology]

Stuff is going to hit the fan this week

This move by TDAmeritrade, Robinhood, etc is all very highly illegal.

a buddy of mine lost 20k earlier last year because his account went under $25k and Robinhood wouldn’t let him sell his holding he was irate

You’re still a year out it’s all good

 

[aburks41]

You’re still a year out it’s all good

Yeah i know its funny to watch them go to 0 though. I wish i could buy more but my fidelity isn't options approved so I had to do it through garbo robinhood

Yeah, perfect for me half old school fundamentals yet willing to listen to what the millennials are up to.
My brother is long on ABNB but I just can't strap into that type of rollercoaster.

So what does Robinhood do?

a) Wait until GME and AMC go to $0.00?
b) Wait until Melvin can scramble around and limit their losses (to less billions instead of more billions)?
c) When the next "GME" comes around, they just shut it down when the redditors of the world go after it? Every day, picking and choosing what you can or can't buy?

I know the question was rhetorical, but... Yes. This is what they will do.

I think Robinhood goes out of business, frankly. You can't run your entire brand on bringing investing to the common man and then turn your back on them in favor of the suits. They're down to a 1* rating on both app stores

Apple will unfortunately probably remove those ratings - similar to what google or yelp does when businesses get flooded with 1* reviews for bad PR.

But yeah, they're not gonna recover from this...perfect timing for anyone who can get another free app up and running lol

They're all legitimate reviews. It's a brokerage app that does not allow you to buy or sell stock. It doesn't work.

would you say they defrauded their customers?

I agree, but if I was a betting man, Apple will probably stand on the side of RH and not the people. After all, Apple is technically the worlds biggest hedge fund (aka Braeburn Capital)

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Anyone have an up to date count of the number of trading halts by * checks watch * 11:30?

 

[uconndogs]

Nobody does, this has never happened before.

Markets inflate and bust all the time. This cause may be unique, but the end result will be what it always is........a bunch folks losing lots of money.

 

[huskyinfl]

Citadel is the culprit not Melvin cap. I read citadel accounts for 40% of Robin Hood's business. Citadel sits over Melvin

 

[XLCenterFan]

would you say they defrauded their customers?

We would have to dig in to the precedent of how “defrauded” has been legally interpreted throughout the years and in other instances. Possibly.

 

[UConnSwag11]

It's not only Robinhood. TD, Webull etc
