That’s crazy. Wall Street has always been criminal. 2008 proved that without any jail time for anyone.
Microsec day trading is not what the market was intended to do either.

I don't understand what happened behind the scenes and how they're gonna cover the paper trail. Robinhood - a company on the verge of IPO for billions of dollars - is completely toast after today. So why did they make that choice? Was it a threat from Ken Griffin? Was it a payoff? Seems fishy.
According to this, Robinhood was worth ~12B in 2020. It's worth essentially nothing now since who would use it now? WTF. https://www.coindesk.com/robinhood-6...ound-valuation
Not too often do you see 12 weigh in on current events, but even he shared Portnoy's tweets.

Well if the rationale was preventing over speculative bets - they can do that. It’s just shady as fuck how they did it.
For example - I use fidelity. They have flags when I have to call in if I’m betting on a penny or otc stock.
And in crypto - Coinbase makes you prove identify and income for the super speculative crypto market.
Rich people have rich lawyers... but they pissed off the consumer and hopefully will fix it or suffer from the cancel culture.
I really don't think what they did was legal. I'm sure there is some EULA terms in there to cover their ass. Here's what I think happened:
Citadel securities processes the orders for all of the major brokerages that shut down (allegedly). Citadel also in invested in companies with a short position and they have a hefty one themselves (allegedly). To me, where there's smoke, there's generally fire. Kinda seems like Big Bad Ken shut down trading our said he'd stop doing business with the brokers and processing their trades.

what's everybody considering ? Any views of the EV charging stocks ? I won SBE for a profit. But I'm thinking of taking the profits out of this one. Thoughts ?
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

I seem to be killing it as well, But I'm not in options or ETF's; only long term stocks.
Recent buys in past months have been many and include PLUG, GRWG, SPCE, INSG (only went up modestly so far but expecting more), APHA, and SBE
I am torn on SBE; see great upside but I can see this one going down too. I feel least confortable with the EV stocks. They are the future, but they can't all go to the moon and they are very high risk.

I'm just playing with side cash, got the main retirement with a real professional but man it's fun. I took a flier on GHSI and ZOM and have made a ton. NIO was my major play, in at $11.

Got my ass kicked by UWMC, PIR and PG&E but NIO brought it all back DOGE has been fun too.

NIO and Workhorse. NIO is fully backed by the Chicoms and should do amazing things this year, most think it will hit $100, good cars, increased production and they have battery as a service which will bring in cash for the life of the cars. Workhorse should get a big chunk of the USPS contract which should send it to the moon.

You like any of the EV charging stocks or do you veer away from those ?

1. I do not know a lot about them. 2. I think they would be ripe for either takeover, which is good, or these EV companies will do BAAS, Batteries as a Service, to pad their bottom line and add another revenue stream. If they do this in house I think that will be REALLY bad for the EV Charging Companies.

What is a SPAC? I want to invest in Chamath's fund but I dunno how to do it or exactly what it is. Can I buy stock in it?

That's because I dumped the shares in CCIV before the rise but its VERY speculative.
