First person most likely, someone dicking with their phone. Best part would be the incredible draw for someone to hack them. Plus shitty H1B visa coders from parts of the world that don't even have cars. Reminds me right after the wall fell friend went to Moscow with Navy brass/diplomats. Was...

Guessing for a while it's going to be like a lot of alternative energy stuff. Experimental and proof of concept stuff that can get gobbled up by someone bigger.

Think of all the stupid shit people do with drones now, imagine them many times larger. Sure there are ways to contain them just as sure there will be ways to get around it.

Shit 25 years ago went to an event near Ocala that was on a national guard training site. Was spring break as well, fuck that. Each night the lows got to below zero. Fun fun. All I heard the entire time "it never does this it never does this"

Goatse comes to FoH graphics card discussion. Nice work.

Etero adds stop loss on gamestop without investors permission. Some people are getting a refund lol. WTF.

Dead people drove upthe price of Gamestop?

Had my A1C done. Other than nurses not being able to take my blood, grrrr. 4 attempts. Came back today, 5.3. My cholesterol was was good and bad cholesterol which was kind of a surprise.

All aboard the blame train.

Till the Chinese get the copy game going.

I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no I've never really understood buying physical silver either. Maybe a small number of coins or a few oz. of bars. But ses some people with a couple thousand oz. on hand, dunno.

You can buy SLV but actual hands on silver is getting pretty short now from the big sellers like APMEX and such. Someone said pawn shops are selling it fast as they can.

Still have the wahl trimmer I got in high school and works fine 33 years later. Of course then it was to trim my musouche and now cut what is left of my hair, rustled.

Ebay putting restrictions on buying silver from some sellers. List it as blocked from that seller.

When log into fidelity through the web on the start page is a list of fast/big movers up and down of stocks. And in the comments for them a news story and for many of them just says "restricted by robinhood". lol.

They first phrased the bailout for banks as companies needing the ability to keep their line of credit function open. Turns out that wasn't even needed for a lot of companies as the economy went to shit. But this time it's "ok".

Call that being lucky.

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Yup the clearinghouse (apparently the same one accounts for 75% of the volume for clearinghouses) got really nervous when the volume was getting close to 1 billion. That's a lot of lot of shit to possibly get stuck with.

They normally won't let you short stock without making sure you can cover it.

Ultimate ballsy great move if you manage to make money shorting GME on the way down.

Yeah they had a news article yesterday about how to open an account and deposit funds clearly geareds at those fleeing other brokers. Had how to enter stuff to track that was held with another broker and such.

Fidelity list of top volume and top ups/downs now notes which ones are Robinhood restricted. Top 3 are and various other ones.

The larger firms like Fidelity and Lynch avoided the increased collateral requirement from the clearinghouses since they self clear. The WeBull CEO said it went from 2-5% to 100% for the smaller firms since they had 1billion shares on the hook suddenly. Should have planned ahead when you let...

Interview with CEO of WeBull. Talks about why the clearning house upped the collateral to 100% on certain stocks. If true whole thing sounds like a clusterfuck that I can't believe it took this long to go off the rails. @30 minutes gets into why some brokers could sell and not buy. Clearning...

Probalby not, haven't slept in 3 days. I don't siri, maybe I should.

Back when phone taps were the thing the mob and other organized crimminals would meet person to person in a public place, sometimes cover their face with a newspaper so they couldn't be filmed talking and such and other extreme measures. Not saying people need to do that, but always amazed at...

Investment thread in grown up stuff. Be very hard to tldr or even tldw.

Noted, put insane high sell order and adjust it as needed will keep a broker from lending it out to shorters through a clearinghouse.

I kind of wondered on Wed. when all the videos were out about the shorts borrowing the stocks from investors where that stock was coming from and who was getting stuck in the middle if things went sideways as they obviously did. Getting paid 25% interest is nothing compared to all the sudden...

Yeah a video I watched earlier. If the parking meter out in front of your house was $25, and the ticket for not paying was $0.25 then you're going to break the law.

So the same companies that shorted to begin with did more shorting right as the broker shut down the ability to buy stocks and only sell and those people were only selling or unloading their stocks and made more money on a short. Seems fair.

Start page at Fidelity even has a fidelity article about how investors took it because of crappy trading sites.

Got involved in a land war in Asia? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Don't know the ownership breakdown of Robinood. But what is to keep a hedge fund or investment firm that's own the hook for billions and billions in a situation like Gamestop shorts just buying or "donating" some serious cash to RH to have it shut down the buying. In the end even a large buyout...

Imagine trying to explain reddit and robinhood to Biden.

Someone said they've been on hold to talk to someone at fidelity for an hour.

GME volme is pretty low. Less today so far than yesterday in the first hour.
