yeah counter-party risk can verge into systemic risk, none of these moves by brokers are surprising

yeah Robin Hood was a creepy cynical marketing play from the start. good on them for convincing young people that they were a good choice despite being objectively worse than all other brokers. it's the free market at work! go use anot

look at GME today, a lot of late arrivals have just lost a lot of money. they are probably not professional traders

aggregate customer exposure means that massive simultaneous losses by retail traders following the herd can mean losses for RH, which they want to prevent.

there are lots of other ways to trade stocks and they will all limit your ability to trade any old thing depending on the state of the market, the state of your balance sheet, the state of their balance sheet. why do you care about one part

Yes its why Robin hood is "free" but people are ignoring that maybe

Day trading will likely lose a lot of people a lot of money. It's absolutely a zero sum game and for the vast majority, a negative-sum game.

Pump and dump schemes being regulated being framed as a free speech issue? I don't know if it is productive to make this about free speech. The purpose of life isn't just to emit speech, and indeed the purpose of WSB is for people

I think its fine that the SEC attempts to clean up stock manipulation schemes. The reason anyone cares is that you can lose all your money playing around in the market, and the SEC is responsible for trying to keep people from being taken a

This was happening on yahoo finance years ago. Is it sad that the SEC takes an interest in such goings on?

Short interest is reported daily. You don't have to do much guess work to know who is short, in general. And funds have to report beneficial ownership above certain thresholds, so highly concentrated "tactical" managers are s

Why use analogies? This one is wrong. Talk about short lending mechanics.

Robin hood is free because their flow goes to third parties like citadel instead of smart order routers at sell side firms. But that is an edge of a less than a second. It is generally good to be able to ascribe an identity to order flow, b

Man you picked the wrong analogy for this forum! Guns are a form of self expression here, so it's like the 1st and 2nd amendment added together

If you use one of those devices you have to accept what happenes within the limits of the law. I need to carry a phone but would never buy one those listening devices.

Trump was very profitable for the media. But this shit is getting too real, and they know it, so now they go the opposite direction. In the absence of hate speech laws and some guidance to regulate social media to prevent mass psychosis, th

i didnt like the autonomous zone I thought it was terrible. but the decision to let it happen was taken by the Seattle PD and mayor's office. this is a much larger phenomenon, where millions of middle class people are endorsing or join
