The Stock Market rebellion has been a recent dynamic that has gone after hedge fund managers who use a technique called the “short-sell.” The short-sell strategy makes money by reducing the price of stocks that they never actually owned. They “borrow” stocks from other people, sell them at a relatively higher price, then buy them back after they’ve tanked, give the stock back to the original owner with a fee, and keep the rest of the profit. They’re basically hyenas. Ben Shapiro made a great video explaining what is happening.
You expect the hedge fund managers who are losing money to all they can to stop this. Citadel LLC, who are major hedge fund managers work directly with the Robinhood app, and they’re making sure that you can’t use the app to join in the rebellion: they’re stopping or severely limiting the ability to purchase their short-sell stock. But the true tragedy is that the Mainstream Media, the people are are supposed to be informing you about what’s going on, is lying to cover for them.

They lie about everything all the time.
Short sellers suck. May every last one of them end up holding a ‘will work for food’ sign, bastards.
Sort of on-topic: Link to an audio update by Mike Adams. Pretty sobering, but not completely without hope:

Yes, that's the idea. Sometimes they lose. But what is usually missing from the conversation and media stories is that they don't really "borrow a share" and sell it. That is just how it is ledgered on the trading desk books. But in fact, if your shares are borrowed by a short, the share never leave your book. What really happens (to put it in general terms) is that your shares are replaced with an IOU for shares; but your statement will still reflect that you own them. You can sell or trade or hedge the IOUs just like regular shares. The impact of this is that the actual supply of "shares" is increased by the number of IOUs.
So in a stock like GME the number of real shares is 100%, and if 100% of those were borrowed the number of shares plus IOUs available to trade is actually 200% of the numbers authorized and sold by the company. It only takes economics 101 to understand that shorting increases the supply of "shares", and that has a depressive effect on the price unless demand increases proportionally to the increase in supply. That is why shorts target particular stocks that seem to be on the rocks, or don't have massive street support, or are going through a difficult business cycle like GE has recently.
Heh. I know, right? They would never, ever, EVER lie. Would they?
The media is enemy #1.
At the very least, they are the tip of the enemy’s spear.
The number one weapon.
They should be dealt with first.
Then should come the corrupt elite rulers and their corrupt election system.
Bttt. Thanks
As I recall Soros was big in the hedge fund business.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Chelsea Clinton work for a hedge fund company?
Chealsea’s husband was a “manager” but got out when Hillary was going to win...
There is no “news” media. There is a massive propaganda arm of the commie democrat party that would make Goebbel’s blush.
Counterparties on bad trades are the best people in the world. They put all new money into the stock market.
Shorting is something you do on a widely held, gamestock through the last year is no longer liquid enough for their play.
To bad some hedge funds gave away money to some apes who figured out a 140% short intrest was a trade to do, it is what they do 4 out 5 years.
The entire wall street bets deal was what they call Loss Porn. You go there for the crowd to abuse and feelz something for a bet gone wrong. Your posting your poker hand being beat by the forth six on river.
The casino is rigged is a common refrain and that disparity is being exposed by poor stupid actions of the less established brokers.
