I dont think anyone believes this is revolutionary

Just a fun factoid, not disagreeing or needling, but The Mooch himself referred to it as "the French Revolution of the stock market" yesterday. He was very troubled. XD

I take it you have no idea about finance, and how much power the retail investor has gained in the last couple years. They were already accounting for 25% of the daily trades in September this year, I bet they are well over 50% of trades in GME right now.

you are likely incorrect that the small-time retail investor group is driving this bus.

Doom really showing his true colors here...

You of all people I would expect to support this

Clearly I was wrong

---

You guys know that the SEC goes after institutional investors for shit all the time right

And there are a lot of rules and regulations around the stock market

Just because you never paid attention to the finance industry before yesterday doesnt mean this is a conspriacy to 'get' retail investors*

*except robinhood, im not sure why they got involved stopping gme trades

It's absolutely moronic how people assume that the little guy is making this happen

Like look how much money other hedge funds and companies have been making off this. Bunch of useful idiots.

and go figure, not once have you supported you low effort trolling. just jumping from one failed point to another because you can't actually support anything you say. Just doing a poorman's unfairgimmicks alot swing at it.

please inform us the regulations you support that politicians only want to pass in response to the wrong people making money and not at all in response to people shorting over 100% of their stocks. I mean you actually support what you post right? not just trying to get a rise out of CE because there's nothing else for you to do?

This. The problem is the hypocrisy. Market manipulation is a daily occurrence on Wall Street, but it was all rich white people who are on a first name basis with politicians like Warren so no one cared. Now these people from Reddit get involved and suddenly it's a problem that needs to be rectified immediately, and most likely in a way that will only harm small traders and allow investment banks and hedge funds to keep doing what they're doing.

That.

Its only a problem cause a noticeable number of the dirty poors manage to make some money for a change.

Anything they do legislation wise will change nothing for the big boys and merely ensure its even less likely for anyone else to play the game like those big boys.

They do. You are correct. But they get a slap on the wrist

Like illegally making millions. Fined 100K. Oh noes.

Shorting the stock so the hedge funds could profit wasn't exactly helping the workers either, was it?

Do you think shes in favor of that?

Supporting regulation and supporting regulation that prevents retail investors from doing what the suits have been doing all along are not the same thing. Warren wants the latter

She wasn't concerned enough to tweet about it.

The amount of wild information going around is crazy.

Just get some popcorn and watch the fucking show.

I will bet 4,500 shares of GME stock that no one in this topic has even half the picture of whats going on.

But by all means continue trading blows with each other. This is CE where people will die on a hill one thousand times and still not admit they are wrong.

Interesting how she only got interested in asking the SEC to look into this after retail sellers started to win. It was both sides, but only once the side that almost always loses was winning did she become concerned.

Her both sides rhetoric is just to keep the rich white people who self-identity as "progressive" she was so popular with during her presidential run in her camp. It's so obvious. This is like the dog whistles Trumpers always do with their both sides shit. You know whose side she is actually on.

Is it that interesting? Not sure why a fund being overextended on a short position would be a priority for her, but i can see how the news frenzy glamorizing reddit's pumping scheme might catch her attention

He's always been a transparent shill that shits on progressives any chance he gets.

So all of her bluster about holding Wall Street accountable was bullshit? Its blatantly clear that theyre more in the wrong here than the investors.

1/1024th

She sucks.

Lets not forget she was the chairperson of the congressional oversight panel that oversaw the bailout of the big banks in 2008.

The government should bail out retail investors like they did to banks in 2008

Imagine supporting 1/1024th Elizabeth Warren

Meanwhile Bernie Sanders

I wish it was hard to believe that so called progressives even like her...

never trust white boomers who only joined the dems after they got more right wing and who used to be republicans.

People don't understand that you can be rich by the time you retire if you invest in the stock market safely and consistently over your career.

yeah because over half of the population does not accrue any money with which to invest in the stock market so they don't pay attention to anything having to do with investing. and this isn't hyporbole, polling over the years consistently shows like 40-60 something percent of the country could not cover an unexpected 500 dollar expense. people are living paycheck to paycheck and do not have money to invest.

That's not the only reason people ignore this, though. There are plenty of people who could have invested or could be investing in the stock market, but they didn't/don't

I dont think anyones star fell as hard as Liz Warrens did last year. In the case of Mayor Pete and Beto they at least went down swinging and holding to their guns but Warren turned from a bunch of peoples ideal compromise between leftist and liberalist position into this weird petty bitter figure that was willing to metamorphosize into whatever she needed to be at the time to make the party happy

This just shows how much of a joke/game the stock market is. They're just playing the game.

I wish we could just get rid of these manipulative practices and invest in companies without gaming the system ruining everything.

If most people were actually that close to being financial ruined this country would have collapsed in 2008, and 2020 respectively.

All the money people waste on miscellaneous trash and luxery garbage in our consumer based society and nobody has can spare a dime to invest in stocks, 401ks or IRAs their entire life? I doubt it.

To most if they cant get rich quick off of it it's not worth it. That's all there is to it.

What happens to the economy if people arent spending money on that stuff? Thered be a massive supply with no demand. Countless people would lose their jobs.

I can't believe there are Dems who are supporting her here. The Pols board it was so bad the topic was closed talking about it. Wall St. have been taking the little guy for a ride for years, and getting bailed out when they fucked up. But now for once the little guy gets a tiny win. And Warren is leading the pack to go after them .
