This shyt all falls on Robinhood... gave a drunk driver his keys and surprised they got into an accident :francis:.

Made trading the market a video game.

“You think it’s going up... buy a call”

“it’s going down.... buy a put”

You want auto margin at the highest industry rate? Sure.

It's sounding like Robinhood and other brokers ran out of shares. That drove the price up parabolic and they had to stop people from buying because the prices would have scaled up to a level they couldn't handle. You better believe if people started getting $5000 a share it would have brought everything down. I doubt they have the liquidity to handle such absurd prices. People would have been scrambling to cash out.

My best WSB impression...


LISTEN UP,

IF YOU GOT GME, AMC, BB, NOK, SNDL

YOU DONT SELL UNTIL YOUR NETLIQ SHOWS MOON OR ROCKET SHIP. IF IT HAS ANYTHING ELSE LIKE NUMBERS THEN HOLD THE fukkING LINE


























I'm not a financial advisor doe...

Whatever happens here this has officially changed the game forever.

Many new ppl will never worry about investing again, but many more new ppl will stick around and find a passion in it.
When this is all said and done whatever comes from this will negatively impact retail investors more than anyone. This might be positive right now but in the future retail is gonna pay for what was done here. The stock market has never been a game designed for retail investors to win and it never will be.

My girl just randomly bought $15 in DOGE this morning and told me to do the same. Only reason I did it.

But now I wish I got more.

My little brother bought $900 worth of DOGE... then bought another $680 :dead:

The $900 turned into $2,000 that he sold off.

The $680 right now has turned into $3,300 :mjlol: he's not touching that, waiting on India and China to go through their Friday

True. But that said, the fact that a group of internet posters did all this its going to spin off into other possibilities.

This is akin to Trumpers breaking into congress and the capitol
