My bet is that the “Rules” will be changed if necessary to extinguish these short squeezes ... and rather soon.
This is what happened when 2 Hunt brothers had seemingly cornered the silver market in 1980.
Rules were changed (at the COMEX if I recall), costing them huge chunks of their fortunes.
Warning shot across the bow was Thursday when RH and others changed the rules for a few hours.
Word to the wise ...
Not quite; I didn’t know it at first, but I read that RH is by default a margin account.
Rules for margin purchases are different from cash-up-front purchases, and forced sell of stocks bought on margin because of changes in the risk profile are legit.
only play with what you can afford to lose...
