Investors/banks get together all the time to squeeze shorts. You’re not allowed to do in on a message board, it needs to be done in private?

I haven't really posted in this thread... kind of like to think of work and money separate from my hobbies. But yeah,, I'm sure they'll regulate it somehow because guys with Robinhood accounts don't have the kind of political lobbying capital hedge funds do, but you're hitting the nail on the head here imo. Market manipulation is market manipulation. Just cause you wear a suit when you do it doesn't mean it should be legal.

The single advantage the little guy has in this situation is the general unpopularity of Wall Street. Regulating retail investors in favor of the big institutional players will have a steep political cost. People already perceive the game to be rigged.

Certainly hope so!

I logged in to TD this morning and got a pop up that GME and AMC were being restricted. I didn't try to buy any but wondered what the restrictions were. If they're not allowing people to trade certain tickers, that's beyond wrong.

Did you bother to read the pop up? The restrictions apply to maintenance requirements and short selling, both of which apply when you are trading on margin, i.e. borrowing money from TD.

Imagine that, fiduciary responsibility and reasonable risk containment.

This whole Reddit/barstool/Twitter movement has been interesting to watch. I have GME and AMC up and watching them like a hawk.

Yes, I did thank you and it said none of that.

I love it. Even without this, people are doing very well investing on their own. Granted the market is detached from reality, but still

Contrary to what the media says, Melvin capitol did not liquidate their short positions. The stock is still well over 100% short.

AAL next? It went from $15 to above $19 in 2 days while other airlines barely moved.

It was a meme in July.

I’d just stay on AMC, GME, NOK, BB, EXPR, and BBBY because the more pressure the better.
