I tried to get in the game yesterday for 5k when it was 300, they wouldn’t let me play. And you bet your ass it’s a winning strategy, they are powerless to stop it if unleashed

Which corrupt Congress and/or which corrupt regulatory agency do you propose to enact and enforce this?

Policy discussions in a land of zero public integrity are quaint.

After the kleptocrats have their assets stripped and they are in jail (so they can’t bribe anybody)—that is the time for policy ideas.

SEC sets the rules but too your point, that simple rule change will not happen. I was just pointing out how EASILY the problem could be corrected.

Agreed—it would only take a tiny bit of public integrity to solve most of our problems.

As someone aptly stated last night on FR, “Naked shorts are illegal.”

If we had functional SEC, this should never happen. Another bloated, rotted-out FedGov agency.

Dave Portnoy going off on Twitter as well calling for jail sentences.

Jail sentences for Robin Hood or for their clients?

LOL.  If no one went to jail for 2007-2009, you can bet your bippy that no one's going to jail for this.

Well, the people using Robin Hood didn’t realize they are peons, and will be destroyed for trying to use the systems the aristocracy uses.

Free Speech is suffering from the same syndrome. I thought they had taken FR down earlier today, but it turned out my VPN was being finicky.
