So can you buy fractional shares through them?
This might be the issue that t212 is trying to prevent ie more trades increased costs for t212?

The answer is simple. They explain clearly why they are doing it when you try to open a trade.
āMitigating risksā. Their choice. You have no right to be able to buy a particular stock.

I donāt think it is a conspiracy theory or any such nonsense but I donāt see how you can deny what I saidā¦if retail investors are restricted in being able to continue certain long trades that helps hedge funds (no matter how misguided you might believe the trading to be - I donāt really disagree with you on that but that isnāt the point).

What is the reason for the choice? Are we using a managed broker firm now?
Risks for who? They donāt mitigate the risks in cfd so why are they concerned about us now?
So long as its a profit maker for them they let it continue

If itās in the interest of your clients then youād let us make our own choice T212, instead of forcing your choice onto us.

The interest of the clients i presume is not about individual shares but trying to stop the whole system grinding to a halt. I completely understand why t212 want to reduce load on their systems even if I think the solution is a poor sticking plaster which doesnāt address the root problem of poor system performance.

This might be a good thing for the FOMO investor to be honest. Both GME and AMC have gone parabolic recently. Yes there may be more room to grow but at this point if you donāt have a position already youāre more likely to lose money.
Edit: Iām going to backtrack and say people should be able to buy. Let the free market decide. Itās your own risk.

Itās not conspiracy if itās true. Regardless of market share, they still have a market share. If itās costing them more money then fine. I myself will be looking for a different broker if itās not protecting their costs. If they are being paid in anyway I hope it comes out and bites them on the ass.
You obviously have no clue as to what is happening in the market right now so pipe down and carry on with your boomer value stocks which are falling right now.

Surely this is market manipulation? How can this be a free market if I cannot choose what to do? I am literally being restricted to buy what I want with MY MONEY! The only option is to short a stock, that is a blatant abuse of power.
Whatās next? Selling my stocks for me because there are restricted shares available?
