Wall street calls for regulation, beat at their own gaming

Post by Bruenor »

This is kind of humorous.. Not sure if anyone else has been following this story.

Seems the trading apps are now pushing back and restricting trading by the small investors.

This morning I, and millions of other retail investors, were blocked from purchasing (entering new buy orders) on the Robinhood platform, without notice. This clear example of market manipulation has forced the stock down from over $500 in after-hours to less than $300 as of this writing. Meanwhile, hedge fund interests are NOT blocked from buying the shares being traded and the lower price obviously benefits them.

We retail investors have followed all the rules and finally stood to gain a LITTLE bit from Wall St and they suddenly change the rules "to protect" us. I am requesting you use your subpoena power and regulatory authority to examine whether Robinhood colluded illegally with any other actors who may have held short positions on these stocks to reduce the number of buyers for $GME and therefore deflate the price. This is market manipulation.

What took place in the comedy Trading Places was far fetched but not impossible, I've been told for years.

Now that these "non-professional" traders have some seed capital...oh boy, the fun that can be had.

A good history of WSB in video here.

If you want some technical down and dirty video, watch this.

Yes, Yellen is in this very deep.

Even Bernanke is in this deal.

Do you still wonder if there is Justice in the legal system? Pay attention to this story and you'll have your answer.

Equity trading is a game rigged for institutional players. Always has been. Other than buying a low cost fund or stock I companies you research yourself, trying to win, or beat the pros (in a big, or large scale manner) at the game they created the little guy will lose, and the big guy will stomp on your carcass.

Stay in your little 401(k) or investment vehicle while they disgorge big fees for running computers. That’s their plan.
