CEO of IBKR openly admitted that they halted GME trading "because stock was too expensive" and will open it again once "it would cost 17$". And laughs in between.
In what world this is "ethical"?
- rtlfe 6y agoHow is it not ethical? They're stopping people from losing money buying something that is overpriced.
- sideshowb 6y agoBut causing people to lose money who already bought it and couldn't sell, presumably
- capableweb 6y agoIsn't the whole purpose of a free market with stock trading that people make those decisions themselves? I've certainly made bad trades in the past, but no one stopped me. Shouldn't I have been stopped as well then? And if everyone is protected from losing money, we should just disable buying stocks at all for everyone, because you can always lose money.
