Here we go. The machine moves in to choke off the little guy and to protect the whales from losses created by their company-killing shorts.

System is rigged all around.

If this NASDAQ is true it can cause retail investors to dump some shares which will lead to price drops and help the big buys who have shorts all around.

Market manipulation that the SEC should look at, but bigger chance the Feds will choke off the Reddit Brigade. #Investing

GM @adenatfriedman. Please confirm or deny the above news.

If it’s true, please give specifics as to when a stock would face such action. Is it a certain price gain? Is it a certain amount of posts on Reddit

BTW, only Bloomberg/CNBC have the right to cause moves?

#Investing

Folks, imagine the day when retail investors start taking a liking to shorting stocks as a retaliation for the machine trying to choke off upswing longs.

Big Tech, publicly-traded Hedge Fund and stock platforms like NASDAQ will sustain deep hits.

VIDEO via @SquawkCNBC: @Nasdaq CEO @adenatfriedman is suggesting to @JoeSquawk that regulators need to correct Reddit “manipulation.”

Ah. When Whales shmooze at dinner that a stock is ripe for a short it’s cool, but when average shmucks schmooze of a long it’s “manipulation.”

NEWS: Considering that the NASDAQ CEO wants to choke of upside in stocks and apparently favors instead falling stocks, I am shorting #NDAQ and other big mouth companies that want to manipulate retail investors from long gains.

If Short is the route, count me in!

#Investing

SHOCKING: @Nasdaq (#NDAQ) basically manipulated the free flow of stocks by suggesting on @JoeSquawk that her company will unitarily halt stocks if there Social Media Chatter isn’t to her liking.

SEC won’t go after @adenatfriedman. They’ll rather move on the Reddit Gang.

#AMC

What if #NDAQ starts crashing because of shorts and then retail investors laugh around about it on Reddit and it then falls more.

Will @Nasdaq halt its own shares to avoid deeper losses? What kind of manipulation is this?

@andrewrsorkin Can you pls ask NASDAQ about this?

All year in 2020 it was perfectly ok for retail investors to chat on Social Media about stocks; plunge their money into it and help the Hedge Funds ballon their gains. But now that the whales placed shorts, oh no. Cant have the schmucks Raddit about stocks.

Got this from a reader. The brokerages are moving on some of the popping stocks. No details as to what the steps are or what is the supposed iron-clad threshold for those moves to be triggered. Maybe it depends what @SquawkCNBC guests whine about. I really don’t know.

In a matter of hours, NASDAQ’s CEO encouraged gov regulation against Reddit surrounding GME; brokerages restricted trades, and some in media package the trades as wrong.

The powers that be want to tank the stock to help the arrogant short sellers.

Manipulation out in the open.

Left: NYT a few hours ago.

Right: My tweet from last night.

This is SOLID: @discord is being taken to town for the weak frauds that they are. Taking down a community of hundreds of thousands of people supposedly because some comments there were bad.

The chaos we saw in the market the last few days is pocket change for what’s coming. 😋

What kind of garbage is THIS?

Brokerage houses and stock exchanges are making up rules on the go regarding socks. This means the system is rigged. Banana Republic garbage. @SEC_News needs to look at emails/records of @RobinhoodApp @Nasdaq to see how those decisions are being made.

Brazen corruption!

Brazen, shameless and corrupt!

Retail investors who are long are being burned down now and short selling Hedge Funds are laughing away as brokerage houses on-the-go decide to suspend activity in certain stocks.

Total LAWLESSNESS!

But the Reds are busy arresting meme makers.

There are SEC-enforced rules and regulations (and exchange system such as circuit breakers) how stocks trade.

Brokerages suspending activity on the fly is not law & order; is not capitalism and is not a free market.

It’s what Mexico would do to protect cartels.

RIGGED!

Remember when Secs of State changed vote submission and vote count rules on their own and last min?

What @RobinhoodApp and others are doing is the turbocharged version of it.

And just as with elections where you were told your eyes are not seeing what it’s seeing, the big

media hands will gaslight you that taking stocks out on the fly is legal, ok, normal and to protect you the little guy.

All the laws, rules and regulations regarding stocks book going back to the 1930s are a joke as they serve to protect the machine; not you and me.

RIGGED!

I placed shorts last night and this AM because if the machine likes shorts and for things go down then I’ll get a slice of the pie too.

Want these daylight robbers to feel their own actions? Short them away!

Plus, their actions will kill trust and implode the marker. So short!

At BEST, @RobinhoodApp could have frozen all action (sell or buy) while awaiting word from @SEC_News if rules are violated. But even that is CORRUPT because this was not done when $TSLA shot-up 10 times in a short period. Being able to only sell is illegal manipulation.

Until 2 weeks ago, half of America cheered on the crushing of rights, freedoms and privliahes because the half tought the issue is Orange Man Bad Trump, but the last 48 hours is showing you amm that it’s about the machine vs the little guy.

Trump was just the vehicle, MORONS!

You are seeing your money being drained as a result of brokerage houses and stock exchanges rigging the rules on the go.

To whom are you going to turn? The Feds (Reds!) who just yesterday arrested a 2016 meme maker for trolling? To Big Media who egged this on?

A free market does not mean a rigged market.

Free means people have the freedom to buy and sell whatever they wish in the economy and to be governed by a universally-applied set of rules or lack thereof.

Forcing you to lose money because another person took a hit is robbery.

NEWS: @TDAmeritrade @TDAmeritradePR choked off margin on many trades and on many accounts which is fine as the company is scared to give credit. This protects the company and traders in a legit way; unlike @RobinhoodApp which sandbagged traders by forcing stocks down.

🚨 🚨 🚨 BREAKING: Leader of Interactive Brokers admits that shutting down buys in #GME #AMC #EXPR was to protect short sellers because a squeeze can keep going and going.

Ban shorting if they don’t know/can’t take the risk of it.

When you short at $100, you can essentially earn only $100 if it goes to $0. But if it rises, you lose another 100% of your position every time it hits another $100 mark ($200, $300 etc).

Say you placed a $100 mm short at $100 each. If the stock goes to $1,000 you lose $1 BILL!
