Once the animals figure out that the pigs in charge don’t really think all animals are equal, because some animals are so obviously more equal than others, they tend to get restless.

Then trot out a bunch of the commentators on CNBC to chant "Hedge funds good! Reddit bad!"

Where are the SWAT Raids??

Where are the Perp Walks??

Where are the ASSET FORFEITURE Proceedings??

Robinhood,Ameritrade,.. and all the other trading apps, including the Hedge Funds themselves, and ANY OTHER ENTITY that played a Part in this Massive FRAUD AND THEFT needs to be ARRESTED, PROSECUTED and ASSET STRIPPED Immediately.

These people STOLE 50% of the Little Guy Investors Money IN BROAD DAYLIGHT and No5thing has happened yet. WHY??

Folks,

The stock market is not what it used to be. Profits and management.

It is about as good a a lottery ticket. The only thing it has going for it is inflation. lots of money chasing few stocks.

It is important to understand that Robinhood despite its populist posturing was in collusion with the hedge funds. It sold them important trending data that helped them immensely with their short and long targets. When the users of Robinhood and other platforms dramatically ran up the stock of Gamestock, a stock that the hedge funds had immensely shorted, it literally caused those hedge funds to have monumental losses and go broke. The hedge funds did all they could tapping their paid politicos in the white house and forcing Robinhood to self destruct by preventing buy orders and allowing only sell orders. The hedge funds were desperate and countering any way, however illegal and immoral, that they could. They were successful in mitigating some of their losses but most took a huge hit and some are in fact bankrupt. Yet unless there is real legislation limiting their scams, they will reformulate and return. Given the amount of money they give the politicos, it is highly unlikely that there will be any legislation or criminal prosecutions. Friendly judges will quash the civil suits.

Yeah, they seem to be doing that. Stopping and starting. I hope a lot of billionaires are wiped out ASAP.

O’ by the way you cannot short blood......

Let me check with the local blood bank. If I can borrow a pint, I can drop by the local blood mobile give that and get a couple of cookies and some orange juice...

Closing out the short may be a little difficult if I just bring in a ziplock bag of blood to close out my short position.

I think Yellen has a BIG problem on her hands. The current episode with the Robinhood app may be the tipping point to stop the high-speed trading shenanigans by hedge funds.

My son used to buy games from Gamestop, there is store a couple of miles from our house. Or sometimes he bought some at the Fort Campbell, KY AAFES mall when I took him in.
