Rules for Thee But Not For Me

[recapped]

Shorting in stock market shouldn't be allowed. IMHO

Market needs to stop investors from selling a stock they don’t own. Off you don’t like a stock don’t buy it.

This speaks more to the problem you are referring to - market manipulation without providing any benefit to the parties involved:

The video won't play for me. Try the link?

Anyone else have any success in opening this video or link?

It's Tucker Carlson explaining what happened and then interviewing Dave Portnoy. He lambasts the SEC for interfering with the perfectly legal market move that absolutely burned the hedge funds.

Title of vid on Youtube: "Portnoy calls for people to be jailed over hedge fund scandal in scathing interview"

Our commodity markets need and want fund money including short sellers, etc
This creates volumes, liquidity and yes volatility.
Smart farmers should see the opportunities, if given all the information, that exporters and importers have.

Hedge funds - short selling a stock, little guys decide to buy said stock and stock price increases... hmmm guess Hedge Fund made a bad trade, and others capitalized.

There should be no government action required.

Wall Street should learn a lesson.

You can speculate all you want in the market but you take the risk win or lose.

These reddit guys are probably in trouble. You cant raise a stock just by lots of people buying it. There are stocks that trade in the millions everyday and dont move more than a percent or two a day.

To drive something from $50 to $350 in a few days would require consecutive trades where one buyer agrees to offer it up at higher price and somebody agrees to hit that in a consecutive fashion and the only way to do that is through coordination through an instantaneous platform like social media. All the at the same time they let people who were in early take a little profit on the way up.

They may have bitten off more than they can chew.

When you can make contracts up out of thin air. Nothing good will come of it. If the markets had to trade on the actual amount of a commodity it would be a different story.

Oh indeed, the silly little boys.

They should learn to hide their collu8sion like the big boys do.

This is what happened and they didn't like being on the receiving end -

What's happening.

This will be the scenero after wall street changes the rules regarding trading . . . .

New rules for slow pitch tournament:
All teams must abid by existing rules as stated in the rule book, with the exception of team Hedge Fund.
Their pitcher is a major league player throwing 98 mph fastballs, please be advised to use caution when batting.
We certainly don't want any injuries.
And as always lets have fun.

As Erroll pointed out the stock market hasn't been straight at least since the dive in March.
Just one big pump.
