Even without restrictions on buying, retail losses were always going to happen. Everyone knows that at some point GME is going to peak and then absolutely crater and not come back. There was always going to be plenty of retail holding part of the bag.
Yeah, sure... But I think the theory is that the market is supposed to determine those things, not the platforms.

Glad I closed my cheap positions out yesterday for my little $120 profit, and I'm not touching the market again until next week. Maybe things will settle a bit by then. That said, this whole thing is fucked. Brokers disabling buys while leaving the door open to sell is of course, going to drive the price down which forces you to sell because if you try to hold through that, your going to get fucked. In the end, the hedges get what they want.

But we knew this.

lol protecting you from volatility they created and then dumped napalm on the fire by limiting your ability to buy.

DEMOCRATIZE FINANCE as we remove your ability to participate in the market.
Statement checks out.

Also put "robinhood lawsuit" into twitter search and you'll see that the nerds are ANGRY.

Robinhood is so fucked up right now I can't even transfer money out. Even though I have no money in anything, it says "money available to transfer to your bank: $0"

Oh lawd

Well, people should be going to prison for this, at a minimum.

But, instead it will be the fault of the plebs, and after mommy and daddy have talked they will figure out the appropriate punishment

You earned that money by cheating big Wall street out of it. You have to let them get a do over so they get it back.

So its really not your money.

Doesn't surprise me. They are going to be delaying funds going out. I won't be surprised if Robinhood goes bankrupt and shuts the doors to hold cash and protect itself.
