People literally crying in space calls, throwing out tantrums, and resorting to ad hominem because they can't stand the difference of opinions - caring more they are in the right than being proved potentially wrong.
(Part 2)
The stock market doesn't give two cents about personal circumstances or feelings. There isn't a place to be emotional in this world - it's either dealing with greed or fear. Multi-billion firms capitalize on that divisiveness to pick investors' bones clean.

(Part 1) In recent weeks, I've noticed a lot of conundrum about what the community should do on meme stocks. It boils down to a severe lack of knowledge how market structure works.
(Part 2) When we're referring to level 2, we're referring to the public list of all pending orders on the exchange (NASDAQ, NYSE). Level 1 information just shows you the best bid / ask according to the NBBO including the last price traded.

AMC - Brazilian Depository Receipts
The BDRs have a certificate system called Paridade which is designed to denominate them into splits of shares based on the share price of an underlying security.
(Part 2)
Consider them like derivatives traded in the OTC or packaged ETFs tracking the performance of a foreign stock that is normally inaccessible.
As an example, AMC has a split of 6 BDR certificates for one single share.

In any chance Congress debates endlessly about the debt ceiling with no settlement in sight while the economy's taking a beating... (Watch the September puts)
...Biden may have to reach for a deal with the Republicans.
(Part 2)
Guess what the Republicans have been criticizing?
Increased capital gain taxes.
Biden may among his list of options to settle with a cancelation of increased capital gain taxes (for > $1M revenue) & taking a hit on credit rating in exchange for increased debt ceiling.

As of August 26th, $239B was left on the U.S Treasury with the opening balance of $1.7T this fiscal year.
On a daily median average, the U.S Treasury is spending roughly $23B/day - which gives us until September 9th to September 17th (if they cut more spending) for the nation defaulting on its debt for the first time in history.
There is a financial paradigm taking place which the institutional side has vastly underestimated the power of retail investors.
(Part 2)
The movements of the underlying shorted securities are indeed cyclical and move on a quarterly basis which settlements are forced by investment banks with short sellers covering some of their debt obligations (the foundation of shorting layers with ETRS).

(Part 1) SR-NSCC-2021-005
Providing some clarity
Every NSCC participant must provide a collateral (Minimum Required Fund Deposit) [i.e., margin] which will be increased from $10k to $250k.
Some of the biggest members have dozens of registered accounts with the NSCC.
(Part 2) Let's suppose Goldman Sachs would have 30 accounts with the NSCC. They would have to provide $7.5M worth of collateral.
As per Clearing Rule 4 and Procedure XV, that collateral is only dealt with cash.

(Part 1) People are wondering as to why I don't monetize anything.
Simple. I don't want to get into trouble.
I respect "The Financial Advisors Association of Canada Act (S.C. 2003, c. 29)" which is the US equivalent of "Investment Advisers Act of 1940".
(Part 2) Quoting: "Investment adviser’’ means any person who, for compensation, engages in the business of advising others, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the value of securities or as to the advisability [...]

(Part 1) With the FUD rising, I just want to point out the rising concern of fake profiles mimicking accounts to mislead people and creating disarray in the community.
(Part 2) For my own protection, I will never send you a DM about luring anyone into anything in exchange for monetary compensation or any weird shenanigans - fugazi involved. My knowledge and insights are free and I'm not asking anything in return.
(Part 1) I want to address community fatigue. I sympathize with critiques of how there hasn't been any signs of enforcement and what not.
There is a time and place for everything. For those who are patient enough, they will be duly rewarded.
(Part 2) If the government and market regulators are still making rules up to this day, it just means that the system is obviously broken and retail investors are the ones pushing for them.

(Part 1) I just find this investigative process initiated by Chad Brewer with Wes Christian to have odd timing.
Wes Christian has been fighting naked short selling for ages. Think about it.
Legal fees are expensive. I think this situation would only profit the retainer.
(Part 2) I don't care how noble the intention is.
No one in his right mind would commit to compete against multi-million legal departments. Multinational corporations would bury you in court fees alone.
A 250k GoFundMe fundraiser? It's gonna get wasted within a few months.

(Part 1) Food for thought
My theory is that the MOASS was a build-up due to many cumulative events, many thanks to the carelessness of market makers and short-selling hedge funds.
(Part 2) Besides the overleveraged economy, I believe the COVID recession, due to the reaction of governing bodies trying to contain the situation, merely facilitated the shorts.

Just a wild guess from a corporate standpoint. $AMC
The FTDs from the NYSE Threshold list - lots of possible ways to circumvent that with the classic wash trading and the dumps into Dark Pools to avoid regulating oversight.
(Part 2)
One of the ways could be repackaging those FTD's into the $IWM ETF and somehow naked short to suppress buying pressure through the Dark Pools.
Also, they are also legitimately shorting the stock because they require liquidity to move the security like a supply chain.

(Part 1) Quietly observing in the distance - noticing disturbance, division, confusion, and tension in the community.
Allow me giving some insight and an anecdote of who you are really facing on Wall Street.
(Part 2) What did I tell you from the beginning?
The closer we are to trigger the MOASS, the FUD will increase dramatically. And the worst ones are between us because people can't handle differences of opinions because data changes every day.

(Part 1) Food for thought
Some companies have been continuously writing options contracts but unsuccessfully delivered shares to their customers as the float is currently being owned by retail investors.
(Part 2) This explains the rising amount of FTD's with $AMC being put into threshold securities.
But, wait there's more! Among these companies writing these contracts involve CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) which is the world's largest financial derivatives exchange.

(Part 1) One of many predatory measures behind algorithmic trading (which makes between 70 to 80% of the U.S stock market) is profiling.
(Part 2) This profiling tactic is initiated by the time members have passed the "Terms of Service / Conditions + Privacy Policy" which nobody reads and somewhat makes this [process "legal" because people have given consent to share their data with affiliated partners.
