If a bunch of retail traders buying a stock can jeopardize the entire financial system, something must be seriously wrong with that system.
The US financial depends on people to help process and review financial transactions. Sometimes, the transaction volume gets so large that it runs up against human limitations. Usually, the system adapts, but in a crisis, panic can set in due to fear and greed and the demand for service cannot be met.
Average retail investors nearly bankrupt some major hedge funds, so they shut down the trading until they are able to adjust the result to what they want.
Average Americans vote in to President who is a threat to the deep state, so they shut down the vote counting until they are able to adjust the result to what they want.
Can you see how America works now?
“ If a bunch of retail traders buying a stock can jeopardize the entire financial system, something must be seriously wrong with that system.”
Bingo.
