Robin Hood - Men In Shorts

Gamestop drama - the little guys ganged up on the hedge funds.

The next Gamestop is probably on this January 13 (?) list of Highly Shorted stocks. IIRC short sale data is released every other week, so we should get an update by Monday.

Agree completely Stephen, albeit I am highly biased, but open outcry not only would have nipped this issue in the bud long before it started but would have ensured natural price discovery remains. I, as I am sure many, miss time in the pit. It should have never ended.

Replying to @renegadestyle
The public has no idea that the whole idea of removing the centralized human element was to allow the big firms to internalize order flow away from actual price discovery.

Reddit Trading 🚀
@reddittrading
If you didn't know..

Brokers like robin hood & others sell our retail trade information (order flow) to firms for around 15-17 cents on the dollar.

Ex: robin hood & citadel 👀

Firms then program ALGO's or make decisions based off of what we do.

Not investment advice 🐸

Well I did say yesterday that it was like the Animal House credo "only we can do that to our pledges."

[Tom R]

Robin Hood is owned by the Citadel hedge fund so that explains why they sided with the hedge funds to prevent the deplorables from buying more Gamestop, AMC, and Nokia stock.

How hard would it be for Gab or some other free speech/free market company to create a replacement stock trading app?

Twitter just removed Peter Navarro, one of the most genteel, respected & intelligent members of the Trump administration, for no reason. Proof this is all about destroying conservatives & has nothing to do with "violating" bogus community standards.

[Pinandpuller]

Learn to Dollar Cost Average:

Listening to irate New York hedge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman on CNBC right now lamenting people "sitting at home getting their checks from the government, trading their stocks."

“This fair share is a bullshit concept," he shouts. "It’s a way of attacking wealthy people."

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Relinking David Marcus's Federalist column because it's very good;

Conservatives aren’t supposed to fight. We are supposed to go gently into that dark night of leftist hegemony and just hope our Norman Rockwell prints aren’t confiscated and cancelled. No. David French and Jonah Goldberg can keep doing that for whoever reads them anymore, but conservatives will not. We will keep up Trump’s fight.

When William F. Buckley annunciated movement conservatism, he said things like “Nominate the most electable conservative” and “Stand athwart history yelling stop!” These were incredibly defensive positions. In retrospect, maybe making George Will’s bow tie the avatar for a conservatism that ceded cultural ground at every turn was a mistake.

Trump invited the American people to fight back. We can argue over whether he was a carnival clown, but as the examples above show, it was wildly successful. There is no going back. Biden’s cavalcade of leftist wish list executive orders shows exactly where we are. Democrats don’t desire a détente, they desire domination. Over you, over your kids, over your community.

Unlike Buckley, Trump appeals to working-class and minority voters, and makes an effort to earn their votes. Unlike Buckley, Trump does not simply assume we are losing and trying to slow it down. He wants to win. And, yeah, he lost. He fought, but he lost.

Now it’s our fight. Now it is our responsibility to save the country. Who’s with me?

[Pinandpuller]

What are the implications if a platform clears out your position and you get stuck with a 30% capital gains reap you didn’t want or authorize? Are they going to pull other government divisions into the maelstrom?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

You know after I read the thing about wearing two or three or more masks I felt inspired.
It dawned on me that rather than get a new prescription for my vision I could just layer two or three of my glasses over each other.
I'm going to go drive to town and see how it works.

[jimmyk]

Hmm, speaking of UI fraud, I just got an e-mail from my employer:

Our unemployment insurance has informed us that you have applied for unemployment. Please confirm whether or not you have applied for unemployment.

Obviously I had not, but now I need to be concerned about ID theft. Wouldn't someone need by SS number to put in a fraudulent UI claim?

[Melinda]

Depends on the language used in the new account form that they signed to open the account in the first place. Usually this is quite legal , and only subject to arbitration. Industry practice has everyone sign away the right to sue on the account opening. Totally normal. The Risk Officer would make the call, in coordination with legal counsel.

[Jane]

My neighbor just stopped over. He’s a conservative married to a liberal and boy did he have a lot of steam to blow off - until his wife texted him - and I qu9ote: “WTF”.

It’s getting crazy out there.

[Jane]

Mel,

Can you explain to me what the whistleblower is reporting on?

[Pinandpuller]

If you hear a rustle in your hedge fund, don’t be alarmed now

It’s just the raping of the crime ring

[Old Lurker]

About that moral hazard of forcing my legal nail salons to close:

Free Beacon "...Power the Future founder and executive director Daniel Turner told the Free Beacon that a climate emergency declaration would permit Biden to "abolish whole industries."

"The environmental movement has wanted this for some time now, but nobody has ever claimed it," Turner said. "Now that politicians have had a taste of how much power they can wield by declaring a national emergency, there's no reason why they wouldn't do it with climate."

Well duh!

Once they got away with last March so easily, it was just like letting Lois Lerner laugh at the Rule of Law.

The Perils of Editing History

[Old Lurker]

After digesting the Gold thing, ponder exactly how the fall of the value of a dollar has been 80% since Nixon delinked it to gold, and how the Feds came to spy on everything about every American in spite of the FISC "protections".

In both cases, even dolts knew that eliminating safeguards and fences could lead to really bad outcomes. But in both cases the Sheeple were told by government "Yes, we know the dangers, but we are grownups and we will not let those bad things happen. Trust us."

We all know what Jake from State Farm sitting in his cubicle at the NSA did to Carter Page and Donald Trump.

It was known that the link between gold and dollars limited inflation, deficit spending, and National Debt. But the Grownups said "those bad things cannot ever happen because we have a Budget Process and a Debt Ceiling written into law that only Congress and the President can change...and that can NEVER happen.

Law of nature.
