Elizabeth Warren Urges SEC to Review GameStop Surge,
Breitbart ^ | Jan 29, 2021 | John Binder

Posted on 01/29/2021 4:14:41 PM PST by Chad C. Mulligan

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has long billed herself as an enemy of Wall Street, is urging the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to review the recent surge in stock for video game retail company GameStop that was spurred by an online Reddit community.

*snip*

Warren is asking the SEC to respond by February 5 to a series of questions, including “What were the causes of the recent dramatic shifts in GameStop share prices?” and “Did these shifts represent a ‘fair, orderly, and efficient’ market function?”

Notably, Warren asks the SEC to “what extent did online message boards, such those on Reddit, or broader social media amplification impact the fluctuation of GameStop’s prices?” and if the Redditors’ practices “violate existing securities laws?”

Coming to the aid of the Hedgies after proclaiming herself for years to be "an implacable enemy of Wall Street".

Like FDR, she never tells the truth if a lie will serve

I’m sure GameStop still has a few copies of NCAA Football 2003.

The swamp is really getting exposed. If they crack down on individual investors and force everyone to use brokerage houses the even normies might wake up.

Ha HA HA

Is she going to ask to what extent the hedge fund crooks and their MEDIA conspirators have when they target a stock and go on national TV and tell everyone X company is dead their business model is no longer valid and they are headed for bankruptcy? Is she going to ask about fund managers sending out letters telling all their buddies to short a particular stock then launch a massive negative media campaign against the same company?

Is she going to ask those probing questions?

Pocahontas is coming to the rescue of hedge fund traders. The fake Indian is also a fake enemy of the Wall Street insiders.

She has a talent for choosing the wrong side of every issue. Did she learn this at her wine cave meetings?

She's just looking for facetime on TV.

Though this saga is being cast as a David and Goliath story, it is really hedge funds against hedge funds...and the little day traders just make an interest side show. In other words, though the day traders saw the overage of short sales, some big hedge funds did too and the big funds jump on the squeeze band wagon and that's what drove GameStop so high.

That said, Robinhood is hanging on by the skin of its teeth. And deservedly so IMO.

If Reddit gets into trouble over this it would be their own fault for not donating millions of dollars to Warren’s campaign fund.

Fauxohantas speaks with forked tongue, she claims to be less than 1/1024th American Indian.

She's less than 1/1024th American and 1023/1024ths Marxist Squaw.

Piggly Wiggly was another rigged game. About 100 years ago. Check out the story here.

If they go after anyone it’ll be the reddit guys who bought shares of a publicly traded company, not the hedge fund fat cats.

Dear Ms. Warren:

The stock went up.

People commented anonymously on it.

End of report.

Every now and again, there are excesses in the market place. It happens. It should stand as a cautionary tale to investors and speculators, not as a reason to throw the baby out with the bath water...

Uh oh.The hedge funds who are the financiers of the Democrat Party are facing bankruptcy. They are howling loudly. Imagine the frenzied phone calls. “Did you think we gave you all that money because we love America? Do something now! We’re melting....melting.....melting ....”

Don’t these hedge funds exchange information? How is that different?

Of course. The revolting little people are revolting. Only he approved buddies can play the game to enrich themselves.
