I've received upwards of 30 for short periods in hard to borrow issues (we're talking american certificates of canadian mining stocks, etc). I've never heard of 80.

Depends on the broker. They publish their fees and the amount of those fees they share with the stock owner. Not all have loan fee share programs mind you.

I doubt any defense will be needed. Capital for this kind of risk will never be available again.

It's far simpler than that. There was no scam, just a long steady accretion around those that pointed out the fundamental mispricing of gme, and the explosive nature of any expected correction given it's extremely high short ratio

Well said. And these people under forty (to reduce everything to simple terms) divide themselves into roughly equal camps. Some see the problems as fatcats/gov not doing enough to help the poor. The other side sees the fatcats/gov

If you're comfortable with democracy, why not also be comfortable with other people making their own employment choices, rather than assuming you know better or that they don't have a choice?

Yes, something else. A reasonable education system, a reasonable regulatory framework that let's business success (we have both of these things), and repairing the hole in the bucket that is causing wages at the bottom to be stagnant -

On this we agree. I dropped in when I felt like reading/engaging in some shitposting. That said, WSB is a good alternate stock screen.

Regarding the second point, I read it as nothing but a fairly artful simile. Let me know if you need a pointer to where this is taught as well.

I suspect overall you are correct. But it's really a function of what you pay in price, or tax. One of the reasons why contractors make more/hr is that healthcare and other benefits are factored in, at least in theory. Couples tha

If only you could come reasonably close to proving that. Let's say you were correct. Want to stop it? Regulation is just a wall with holes. The only way to stop it is to reduce the labor force. If this is actually a plan, it's con

Perhaps. But also, given the regulation, you remove opportunity for those that are looking for the type of employment you discredit from accepting it from employers that want to offer it. I very much appreciate the ability to step into the

I expect that you are correct. However, allowing an org to act as a publisher by heavily curating who is allowed to use their 'forum' is having wide-ranging consequences for our society. As they are occupying a spot in the regulat

They are a public company (private in the sense I know you mean it) and should be treated as such. They are a public company that publishes certain opinions by allowing individuals who are willing to espouse those opinions access, while not

I wholly agree with you. They do, however, own the obligations of a public forum if that is how they ask to be regulated. They are playing cute with political speech. They aren't publishing in the traditional sense. But heavy curation

Twitter also has the right to avoid scrutiny as a publisher by being a public forum. They are not acting as a public forum, however. This isn't going to be straightforward. Laws (or regullations), or Twitter's behavior, will have

It also matters in the sense that one can't avoid certain regulation by claiming to be a public forum rather than a publisher while not being a public forum at all
