I’m interested in buying some calls for either AMC or GME next week. My only worry is that the institutions are once and for all going to stop this somehow, get the SEC to initiate some kind of emergency shit, whatever.

Seems like a legitimate worry. I'm not going to fuck with the meme stocks anymore at this point. It feels like taking a bunch of money to Vegas but the casinos might change the rules while you're gambling.

I certainly won’t go in hard like I did this week.

Maybe put a couple grand on Feb 12th calls, depending on how things look Monday.

I just feel like more bad news is coming from the manipulators, especially off the news of European buys being shut down also.

People are selling out of good investments to do it. I'm just redoubling my effort to gather up good stonks/etfs while the price is down. I'm not the gambling sort, and I'm way ahead of schedule on retirement in late 40s, so no need to play it fast and loose.

Smart. I'm learning I'm not too disciplined though lol. Despite what I literally just said I'm probably going to jump on the silver bandwagon while it's still super early. You see the problem was that I made so much money so easily on doge. In my brain I know it was an anomaly, but seeing that account double overnight is making it difficult to not try and replicate that again.

I don't believe this. Fucking RH is ALREADY limiting Silver to 1 share...

If companies aren't completely stupid, it is extremely easy to find out "what's hot" or "what's trending" in basically any corner of the internet. We know they are a shit company with a shit CEO and connected to all the funds so this isn't surprising. RH needs to burn

Tried to sign up for Fidelity yesterday but they didn't like one of the "identify yourself" questions I guess and locked me out. Called customer service, but of course the wait time was like 6 hours. Anyone know if they can just transfer my holdings from RH, or am I going to have to sell (which would be bad) in order to move my stuff over?

Also, btw, what kind of brokerage searches for "what's hot" in order to prevent their customers from buying it. That is literally the antithesis of their point as a brokerage.

When log into fidelity through the web on the start page is a list of fast/big movers up and down of stocks. And in the comments for them a news story and for many of them just says "restricted by robinhood". lol.

I'm still in with 500 AMC. Hoping the weekend allows some things to happen where maybe buying is allowed again on Monday. I'm just riding the public sentiment/anger for now.

I'm at a loss for words. He is asking for the free share back.

Is there any other source for this?

It's def sad and hilarious if true but I didn't get any such email and I don't see anyone else running the story.

Edit: Oh the whole website is kind of like a shitty version of TheOnion.
