They’ll be fine. Not only do they have a massive increase in their equity base (though at a high cost), they’ve also had a record number of downloads the last week, and the entire episode has grown their client base significantly. Most peop

What I’m curious about is whether the SEC is going to sue DeepFuckingValue and require him to disgorge all of his gains. He’s not just a Joe Schmoe on Reddit, he’s a licensed broker with like four active Securities licenses which prohibit p

Psychology, monitoring long term investments closely is a bad idea. Very seldom is price information actionable, and can easily lead to frustration or boredom induced action. 99.99% of investors should buy and hold and forget. If you have t

At least 126 technicians and cosmonauts were killed by accidents during the Soviet space program. It’s rumored that additional cosmonauts died on missions that the Soviets covered up.

That’s a type of bull case, the one that ends in ..it, not fundamentals. There is almost nothing in Chewys business model applicable to GameStop. Games can be delivered digitally and increasingly are and will be. GME can only be an expensiv

They were net sellers on Tuesday and Wednesday, before the restrictions. While GME was vaulting to the moon.

Robinhood is now allowing 100 share purchases. GME continues to suck air. And last weeks trading reports showed retail investors were net sellers of GME after Monday.

Because the examples on Google play are even worse?

And Robinhood has opened up GME buying to 30 shares per account. Looks like their restrictions weren’t that significant in the grand scheme after all. You know what was significant? Options expirations day was Friday. GME has lost virtually

They do, but in these cases the binary never changed. A value returned to it from a web API changed, or a date passed, or the users are outside of Cupertino, etc.

The only reason Apple spends huge sums on app review is because they believe it’s important to maintaining brand value. Do you think they believe so without any substantial marketing research?

Do people buy alcohol for teenagers? Of course, but a few highly publicized cases of people prosecuted for procuring drugs for an unlicensed friend will help keep it to a minimum.

Go back to prohibition, liquor was quite expensive compared to legal liquor post prohibition. And again, bootleg cigarette markets are almost devoid of violence compared to illegal drugs.

The measured approach is a problem too. You see it in marijuana legalization, where some state’s are so restrictive about licensing sakes outlets that legal weed costs more than illegal. How can that kill off a dangerous black market? Someo

Not disagree that Apple should work on a solution, but what app store already does this? We can ask that Apple do better but don’t forget it already does far more then any other store.

I think there is a solution and Apple should implement it. But even code we know how to write doesn’t appear overnight, doesn’t work perfectly, and doesn’t suffer from high levels of false positives.

So basically you agree that Robinhood stopped purchases of GME, despite the massive reputational risk it entailed, because they faced a very real risk of insolvency. Nearly destroying your firms Brand as a favor for an easily replaceable ma

You can build an app that only serves an extremely narrow market niche to improve functionality that is incredibly important to the platform owner, but then you shouldn’t complain about being sherlocked or how tough competition is.
