Oligarchs Shut Down Trading to Save Their Money
This is not America. This is a corrupt oligarchy.
29 The hedge funds fought back. Gamestop only 17 percent shorted now. They blocked retail investors from buying and drove the price down as they can only sell now.
Posted by: brak
@El_Kabong81 10,000 National Guard to Wall Street by 1Monday.So now that they're driving the price down to zero, and costing retail investors billions of dollars-- are they shutting down the machines to protect them? No? Just the rich and powerful on Wall Street get to have the rules changed to keep them from losing money? The machines only get shut down to protect the people that pay Janet Yellin $800,000 for a single speech? I see.
All of them must have their stock portfolios vetted for ties to white nationalists.
@JackPosobiec US Congress must subpoena Robinhood, Ameritrade, and Janet Yellen Today Do your jobs!
JackPosobiec If you are upset about Robinhood wait til you hear about the election.

@DanFosterType The US stock market has made anyone who parked a dollar in it over the last 30 years more rich, more safely than any other asset. Instead of saying "thank you", everyone is like "but that guy is *more* more rich! Let’s set it on all on fire!"It's weird, I see Conservative, Inc. moving their mouths but the voice I hear is Paul Singer. Update: China Joe Involved?
So the rumor is now that the White House got involed and told RobinHood, Stash, Etrade and Amertrade to stop the buying of GameStop.

226 Best thing the last few years has done is get more right-wingers off of their slavish worship of the "free market". There is no "free market" and there never has been. Stop being a sucker for oligarchs who hate you. Stop clinging to "principles" while getting pummeled. The Right is like a guy who agreed to a fight with no low blows and, even though the other guy keeps kicking him in the nuts, he never responds in kind because that would be against the rules. So all he does is complain to the ref, but whenever he complains to the ref, the ref kicks him in the balls, too. So now he's just lying on the ground and whimpering while consoling himself that, hey, at least he still has his principles.

The rubes are important. They provide a shit-ton of liquidity. What happens when you ice them out or they take their ball and go home and quit playing? What do these people think will happen when there are only big, slow-moving institutional investors? Do they really want to play with confidence in what is, in essence, a confidence game?

You can't complain about Apple, because Tim Cook is gay and that would be homophobic. You can't complain about Google or Microsoft because they're both run by Indians now and that would be racist. You can't complain about Goldman Sachs because that would be anti-semitic.
And it worked. Other industries copied them. The big defense companies now mostly have female CEOs. So now you can't complain about them because that would be sexist, plus they painted the Gay Pride flag on the bombs they dropped on Syria so it would also be homophobic.

I'm interested in learning if Robinhood disclosed to customers in their User/Account Agreements that Robinhood has the ability to stop trading in any stock at any time, EVEN ABSENT REGULATORY ACTION. In other words, even if the SEC permits trading in a stock (and it might be one in your account with us too!), we might capriciously stop trading for our own reasons and stick you, the account holder, with the losses.

I haven't been following it all that closely, but it is only some brokerages that are stopping buying. Even if there wasn't a buyer on the other side, the brokerage or market maker could buy the stock themselves and then go to another market to sell it. The brokerage normally operates like a bookie as an intermediary, but in some contexts they could hold onto the stock for longer periods of time to conduct transactions (market makers regularly have stockpiles of stock for what they make a market in).

I believe I read it in Frederick Allen's Only Yesterday, but it doesn't matter: one big Wall Street investor cashed out his entire portfolio days before the Crash of '29 when he got a shoe shine and the shine boy offered him a stock tip. He said that if someone with his fucking shine box could make money in the market, it was definitely overextended and time to bail.
Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at January 28, 2021 01:10 PM (2JVJo)
Yeah short sellers seek to make money by artificially devaluing the stocks of investors so that they can trim a small portion of that lost value as profit. So F* you they had it coming. And the fact that the oligarchy acted to protect them is going to put the working right and the entire left on the same side. Congrats on having the most unifying call to action against your wealth and privilege ever. Just because you couldn't let some jet setters take it in the shorts for once for making what was an awful decision.

So all he does is complain to the ref, but whenever he complains to the ref, the ref kicks him in the balls, too.

Other than the outrageous, surreal, yet now-routine spectacle of people head-counting GOP votes for conviction of a *former* GOP president for giving a perfectly normal speech to a perfectly legal and even interesting rally, there is nothing from the GOP except meekly approving the horrible cabinet choices. A few basic questions to idiots like Buttengage about the obvious horrible economic consequences of their stupid policies from the likes of Cruz. That's it.
Kind of amazing how no part of the never-ending descent into bizarro world we are living would have been believable, even a short while ago.

LOL. This is all bad for everyone. Retail investors (peons) and institutional investors (globalist Lords) alike.
This is the first time I can remember them being afraid of their peons. It's fun.
Let's say this thing were to spin out of control, and a worst-case scenario happens (a market war between peons and Lords). Well, then it turns into a complete degringolade and ruins me financially. I'm fine with that.

Um yeah no. The same rules these oligarchs use to protect themselves from those laws protect WSB. For instance, as a matter of fact the hedge position was vulnerable and therefore made a counter hedge a risky albeit potentially profitable investment. Making it legal outright, you are simply betting against an overleveraged short sell. Sharing that insight also legal. The fact that by doing so increased the chance the counter hedge would work, incidental. As long as the investment had a reasonable chance to make money by betting against the short sell, sharing that advice is not inofitself collusion even if you openly talk about the greater chance of success and profit with multiple investors because of price pressure.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at January 28, 2021 01:25 PM (R2biG)
It does not. Stock price rarely affects the solvency of a company (counterexample would arguably be Tesla being able to finance itself during cash burn years or other tech stocks).
That sometimes happens but usually companies don't try to game their own stock.

It was a defined contribution plan. I had access to my contributions but not my employer's matching funds. Similar to a 401(k). I am over 59 1/2 so I won't get zapped with the 10% early withdrawal penalty. It will be treated as ordinary income for 2021 taxes. It was only $18k. My other retirement funds are not in the market. Mrs. Sock has about $ 50 k in the same retirement fund. She is still employed by the school district so we can't touch hers. I will still get a minuscule monthly benefit based on my employer's contribution. That is contingent on the State of Washington not going broke.

Check Apmex and JMBullion. Their premiums aren't TOO bad if you pay directly from your checking account via ACH. I always use them as a guide and have even bought some stuff from JMB for a couple extra bucks if I didn't feel like shopping hard. Note that their prices for out-of-stock items aren't updated, only use the in stock stuff to get a feel for going prices.

You contract 50% amount of shares 10 Dollars... Hedge Fund sells off to the point your shares now sell at $1.00 and when the contract is up the shares go up a little bit to $1.25.
Now the other 50% of your shares are now also worth $1.25 and the interest you gained from the contract ain't covering the loss. Congratulations you bankrupted a company.
Except this time the Hedge fund assholes didn't just sell the 50% they bought, the supposedly sold the other 50% and an additional 40% that didn't exist.

It doesn't, what they're carrying on about is destroying the hedge funds that were stupid enough to short more shares than were in circulation.
Extra fun: it appears now that one particular hedge fund positioned themselves to profit greatly from this, and then quite likely spurred on the original short squeeze attempt against the others. In other words, this wasn't even spontaneous.
That fund took advantage of the retail trading halt to unload their shares and clobber half the retail investors.

They get around that by being entertainment. Generally the law recognizes two categories of people, professionals and amateurs & entertainment(more broadly non-professionals).
Professionals have all kinds of liabilities and restrictions regarding how they give advice. Amateurs & entertainment can basically say whatever the hell they want. They could end up dividing categories further or lumping in certain people with professionals.

Except for one small detail: all of this is taking place in the secondary market. The company already has the money from investors when it sold share in the primary market, i.e., when it was a counter party to the sale.
But the secondary market involves transactions between individuals and institutions who previously bought shares from the company; the company is not involved in transactions in the secondary market.
Look at this way: if you buy a car from GM, and wrap it around a phone pole, does that hurt GM?
An even better analogy: if you sell the car, does GM get any money from the sale? That's the secondary market for GM products.
Bottom line: once the transaction with GM is complete, they couldn't care less what you do.

Hey Pop, don't listen to me because I'm a moron, but look at time-based index funds. I think Vanguard has one that goes up to 2045. The year 2045 that is. Forgive any mistakes this is all voice transcription. The farther away they are the more aggressive they'll be at the more money they'll learn. The closer the date the safer. It's easy to set up an account at Vanguard Charles Schwab or any of the rest. I use Vanguard and like them, and they have great customer service. The important thing is to get started now. Time does all the work, even if it's just $50 a month. Starts adding up after 20 years and compound interest is doing his job.
It's an easy way to start saving for a car for the kids to. Put $100 a month away every month and by the time they're old enough to drive you'll have a pretty good chunk of change. Same goes for college, although there might be better vehicles for that like 529s

shorting the stock in the secondary market destroy the company?"
A total devaluation of a company's stock usually precipitates a loss of credit in which if they were operating in the red even with a reasonable outlook to recover profitability can precipitate chapter 11/7. Basically a short sell is like a vulture, it looks for a company undergoing hard times and seeks to kill it by pushing it into bankruptcy, destroying stock value, and then skimming a portion of that lost stock value as profit.

Climate change is the mechanism to to gain a foothold in every major aspect of public and commercial life. Consider it a social credit policy only applied to corporations and board members, including criminal prosecutions for not getting on board. One that ties "social justice" and wealth distribution to solving -- whatever. Basically economic fascism with ties to UN the UN as the ultimate authority. His energy policy (still up at the campaign site) spells this out clearly. Not quite the extent of the Green New Deal, but on the same page.
It also doesn't hurt that creates a brand new market, fully driven by regulation, backstopped through subsidies by the taxpayer, where those on the ground flow can make many billions.

Technically if your stock drops below fair value of assets you open up for hostile take over.. it's a bit more complicated than that, but buying and selling off the pieces could occur.

I don't think it will get through. It's an easy vote against for the GOP, and there will be at least a few dems who oppose it because they are worried about their seat.
But, I suspect that the goal may be to make a reconciliation bill which includes a gun and ammunition tax more appealing.

Gamestop's collateral is probably mostly real estate and to a much much
lesser degree inventory.
Whether they use the stock directly as collateral or not. Stock represents what the market sees as "residual value" once all debts are paid, along with "outlook toward future profitability".
When your stock is 0 the market is telling the whomever you are trying to get money from that the company has neither residual value nor an outlook toward future profitability which will not necessarily outright eliminate your ability to borrow but it can make it practically un-afordable by raising your interest rates for future loans too high, and making it impossible for you to do a bond sale at a reasonable price.

They know. They're afraid of the guards they insist on having. They've already refused to allow them bullets and several prominent voices have raised concerns that some of these guardsmen may have voted for Trump (most did).
Like I said yesterday, they're in a bit of a quandary. They need and want to use the military, but are afraid of and hate it. They see it a powerful tool to get their goals met, but despise and fear guns and realize most military don't like them, either.

Can you point to an example of this occurring? The banks doing the lending lend against real collateral and in consideration of expected cash flows. Frequently bond pricing and stock pricing don't reflect similar outlooks for the same company.

Or, if we really want to flex, we'd all need about 10k each to take over google. Realistically though, it'd probably be a lot more, because there's a lot of Trump voters who likely don't have that kind of equity. But.... I wonder what percentage of Google is owned by conservatives already? I suspect its a fairly decent percentage already.
Or we could just buy visa, which has a market cap of 466B, we'd only need about 234B, which is $3,300 per Trump voter, and then we could shut down google and apple's app store. Risky business you know. Lots of fraud.
