lul AMC got rekt, good thing I pulled out end of day yesterday

 

[FunkMiller]

The irony of an app called robinhood fucking the poor in favor of the rich is not lost on me. Is what these redditors were doing illegal? If not then this is some petty garbage.

Robinhood have got to be fucked after this. There will be a mass exodus to other platforms.

I got my $20 in AMC on there. But it was mostly a “fuck it let’s see what happens it’s $20” lol. Did it the other day when it was basically worthless lol

 

[ManofOne]

THANK GOD I DIDN'T STAY IN AMC!!!!!!

 

[sackings]

RH asking for lawsuits if the price craters and their users cant unload the stock...

 

[JORMBO]

I was wondering if I'd be kicking myself today selling AMC slightly above $19. Looks like I did the right thing.

 

[Myths]

Pulled out NOK, I still got my Options to sell off. Yep

 

[infinitys_7th]

THANK GOD I DIDN'T STAY IN AMC!!!!!!

Um. . .yeah. . .

Doesn't look like I lost much overall because I made some early on, at least.

 

[AmuroChan]

Looks like it's game over. Congrats to those who were able to make money.

 

[Myths]

They have a lot of explaining to do on what they’re doing with people’s options.

 

[mortal]

Got my AMC stocks for free, so I'm not worried about that lol.

Also lol at GameStop being delisted.

Oh so when these hedge fund fuckers manipulate the market then it's fine. but when average people have access to that, oh noes shut it all down.

 

[FunkMiller]

WSB heel turning on RH like a mother fucker...

Say it with me:
Fuck the poors

that’s the first lesson of being rich.

I think you have mixed it up. The Heel Turn was from RH not WSB

 

[AmuroChan]

Saw on Twitter that the company that owns Robinhood is the same company that bailed out Melvin Capital. Nuts if true.

 

[FunkMiller]

Mixed up my wrestling slang

 

[ManofOne]

Not just RH

Those stocks and others are “not supported” on Robinhood, according to a note on at least one of its platforms Thursday. On Wednesday, Charles Schwab Corp.’s TD Ameritrade also curtailed transactions on GameStop, AMC and other securities.

GameStop had surged more than 40% earlier, momentarily pushing the stock above $500.

I'm usually a dull as fuck, safe investor (investment trusts are my bag) but all this shady fucking shit is tempting me to get on board when the next one rolls around....

 

[ManofOne]

Holy shit I was right!. Nobody can sell their stock. LOL

I just decided to see what my $20 would do since $20 ain’t gonna break the bank for me lol

 

[Taxexemption]

Doesn’t all of WSB already claim to be retarded?

Being degenerate and retarded are not the same thing. Being retarded is to be mentally slow or just having no idea what you are doing. Being degenerate in the sense they are talking about is more like "I'm taking actions I know are risky and involve an intense high, and that this could lead to riskier behavior over time that will ruin my entire life." They propagate a culture where people get addicted to the thrill of seeing intense highs/lows. Basically hardcore gambling addicts with the stock market.

Holy shit I was right!. Nobody can sell their stock. LOL

They are so getting sued.

 

[ManofOne]

They are so getting sued.

Ppl prob have margin calls before they can sell lol.

 

[Dunki]

Holy shit I was right!. Nobody can sell their stock. LOL

There is NO WAY this is legal. So now WSB will also take down Robinhood?

 

[SpartanN92]

I made $10k profit.
Sold at 8:00am

For reference I am 28 years old, married, have a 1 year old daughter and I work a commission sales job making $70k a year while going to school full time for my MBA.
Last week I had $15k in my checking account.
If they actually let us move the profit from Robinhood without any weirdness I’ll have $25k in my checking acct. I cannot tell you all how huge this was for me.

 

[finowns]

I’ve made 1 dollar on doge coin lol. Keep buying

 

[Dunki]

Doge to the moon

 

[FunkMiller]

Wonder how many of them are going to have the stones to hold now...

 

[CrankyJay™]

Surprised about NOK and AMC so far...

 

[Cravis]

Sucks. Shows that when the big guys manipulate the market, it’s a-ok. Let the little guys manipulate the market and all hell breaks loose. A big no-no.

Lesson learned. All the little guys should pull every dime out of the market and invest in Bitcoin. See what happens to the market then.

 

[Dunki]

I dont understand this

At 9:30 it was down to 300 now 10 minutes later its back at 351

 

[ManofOne]

Hold the line ................hold the line!!!!!

 

[Dunki]

lol

Throughout social media, angry users reported the inability to buy the stock — only to sell. As of Thursday morning, searching for the GME ticker will not yield GameStop as a result.

Furious users took to Twitter to bash the company, including Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy, who became a popular trader as the pandemic shuttered sports and fans turned to the markets.

“Either @RobinhoodApp allows free trading like they say they do or they die. It’s really that simple,” Portnoy tweeted. Robinhood also stopped customers from purchasing shares of AMC Entertainment (AMC) and Nokia (NOK), two other stocks that have gotten huge boosts from the Reddit forum.

Robinhood and others halt buying of GameStop and other hot stocks, infuriating users

After GameStop stock became red hot and a mainstream news story, thanks to a Reddit investing community, brokerage Robinhood pulled the plug on buying, infuriating users.

Well, I'm certainly done with Robinhood after all of this. Just beyond unacceptable.

Transfers from robinhood to your bank account are easy it might take 2-3 days to show up in your account though.

 

[ManofOne]

GME!!! AMC AND EXPR ARE HALTED.

It takes several days to settle first before you can deposit to the bank.
I’m worried next they will start confiscating or placing holds on GME earnings

So how are the history books going to record this? A bunch of autists posted for a game stock before the civil war?

[Deleted member 17706]

GME still rocketing back up past $400 even with this insane blockage from Robinhood.

 

[SpartanN92]

Wow. Congrats, dude. That's so cool

Thank you! Honestly I would have held on longer but the next step will be the government puts an end to this and people lose everything.
I might have just pissed away way more profit but I still made an amazing amount. If I didn’t have my daughter I’d have ridden it out. I’ve got a buddy who is riding or dying and he won’t accept the possibility that the government WILL stop this.

 

[Nester99]

Broker apps are all owned by hedge funds.... you will need new tools. Robinhood about to commit some serious fraud to bail out its owners

This would piss people off even more. Espically with Biden. There is no way they can do that without causing riots XD

Holy crap they won’t let me buy doge coin on rh!!
