Volatility continues with $gme and $amc in the popular uprising against #hedgefunds that shorted these #stonks. Both Game Stop & AMC plummeted after some retail traders were locked out.
Best explanation I’ve seen. Author unknown.
I don''t have hard numbers, which is why I used the word some. It appears to be almost all retail investors, depending on platform. Allowing large funds to sell off at a high price while smaller investors are completely locked out will only make the disparities worse.
Clearer picture of the full-court press to overturn Georgia's presidential election emerges with new pieces of the puzzle. Just 5 days after Jan. 6, GA's General Assembly would meet in regular session. That was the end game if Congress delayed Electoral College certification.

Gov. Kemp had refused Trump supporters' demands to call a special session of the General Assembly. Attempts by Trump to get Secretary of State Raffensperger to 'find' 11,780 votes under threat of prosecution -- and previous cajoling from Sen. Lindsey Graham -- had failed.

BJay Pak, US Attorney in Atlanta, abruptly resigned the Monday after Trump labeled his hand-picked federal prosecutor a 'never Trumper' on the call with Raffensperger. DOJ Inspector General now investigating if Pak was forced out for failing to support claims election fraud.

These are not patriots. An officer crushed by rioters. He was holding the line against a siege mob thrusting in unison to invade the seat of democracy. Shame on all of those who have lied about election fraud, inciting rioters to commit insurrection & murder.
I covered the 1998 murders of Officer Chestnut & Det. Gibson inside the US Capitol. I have always remembered their names & their sacrifice. Their heroism will never be forgotten, but just as Officer Sicknick’s killing during this week’s insurrection, their murders were senseless.
Where were they radicalized?
Pres. Trump: “If I lose, the election was rigged.”
Don Jr: “We’re coming for you.”
Giuliani: “Trial by combat.” @realDonaldTrump: “We are going to have to fight much harder...[let’s] walk down to the Capitol.”
After the assault, this confession:
The body count is currently five including a police officer. Congress was stopped (temporarily) from certifying the electoral college votes. Protective-detail officers had their Glocks drawn as a last line of defense to prevent a takeover of Congress (the invaders succeeded)
When do the Democrats take over the Senate?
Two things have to occur: 1) Kamala Harris has to be sworn in as VP 2) The Georgia election has to be certified
The first happens at Noon on Jan. 20
The second? 159 counties have until Friday of next week, then the state week after that
Could happen sooner. Military & overseas ballots plus curing of absentee ballots have deadlines by close of business Friday. If either candidate concedes (or both), the winner(s) could be sworn in immediately with consent from the Senate, prior to certification.
Two counties, Screven & Wilcox, have already certified because they had no outstanding ballots.
