Yes Game may or may not have gone over the top but the idea of short selling should be banned. So if the hedge funds experience loss like we do, all is goodâŚlet the GAME begin 
Why do you believe short selling is wrong? I get that a bunch of greedy hedge funds shorting more than 140% of shares is mental but there is a lot of âpositive short sellingâ.
There are good activist short sellers that expose hidden fraud, whether that be in dodgy foreign companies listed on US exchanges defrauding investors by manipulating accounts, falsifying revenue etc. Or it be a company like Nikola that lied about their product and misrepresented its capabilities. I encourage you read some of such reports from activist short sellers. An awful lot of work goes into them (most good ones are 20+ pages of financial analysis, on-the-ground evidence from factories, âoffice buildingsâ etc.) and without the ability for those researchers to profit, it wouldnât take place and the fraud would continue right under everyoneâs noses.
Look what they did just now to:
Well Iâm sat here at 23.49 and itâs been a crazy day - I was sat there working and watching Bloomberg - I stayed well away from the markets today, just concentrated on Forex (had a crazy day one of my best ever) I donât think this carnage and outage was unique to T212 there seemed to be many other institutions having issues. However T212 need to do better, just too many issues of late e.g my 2 Factor Auth just stopped working todayâŚwhy!
This was the day the little guy stuck it on the big guy and watching some financial news feeds today I can tell you they donât like it one bit. The Nasdaq and TD Ameritrade both restricted trading todayâŚand the regulators are already making noises about how they can stop this happening in the future.
They can manipulate the market, but the small guy gets shut downâŚirrespective of what they do next, something changed today, you can smell the fear - I look forward to the next instalment.
Oh and I donât hold a position in GameStop.
bitcoin is the single best investment anyone could have made over the last ten years, hardly comparable
Saw this on twitter, donât know where they got it from and canât see it myself but it makes sense. The mods have temporarily set the community to private before to clean up after an influx of new accounts, I guess if this screenshot is real then theyâre just trying to make sure Reddit donât have an excuse to ban them.
I just made a post 
WHY AMC IS DOWN AFTERHOURS: Hedge fund managers, Short sellers, and Market Makers are using their extended hour trading to scare retail traders (You) off. Most retail traders (You) lack the ability to trade before and after the market opens/closes. This is why it is currently down. Once retail traders (You) are able to get back in at market open tomorrow, this will again go up. This is an attempt to scare ppl away from the stock. It will happen every single evening for the next several days so be prepared for this. If it is to stressful for you, please put away your phone/computer and check again

No your right, for those that bought in 10 years ago, theyâve seen some magical returns. For those people that bought in at the 20k high in 2017 and saw the value drop 80%, it wasnt such a great investment. I suspect we are in a similar bubble here and will see a similar or worse drop, hence the comparison. Whether itâs a good comparison or not thatâs down to opinion.
Hereâs another example from 2008

This was driven more by market makers than retail user demand, so didnât see it as quite the same.
Definitely not a bubble supply and demand

Do you really believe crypto is a bubble market?
I donât know is an honest answer. Itâs high volatility, and with multiple variations out there, how do you place value in a single unit denomination of any.
We could even create a trading212 coin today - how much would that be worth?
All boils down to liquidity really. If T212 had a token (which Iâve suggested before) to trade against shares and stocks instead of using cash bypassing the FX fees we incur, fixed supply of tokens and people using it rather than cash the skyâs the limit.
On average there is around $140 billion plus transacted in cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the main crypto used to trade against those with a 62% dominance in market.
Itâs a safer, faster, cheaper way to transact cross borders and internationally.
Governments/Central Banks across the world just print money out of thin air with nothing to back it and more people are starting to realise it canât go on forever. Thatâs the real bubble
So you censored the community? What a champs
Just seen that Trading212 restricted GME only to Sell. So you canât buy but âforce youâ to sell. I never believed the conspiracy crap but this here we are. I have bought a big chunk of GME so guess how this feels like.
Iâve backed them up throughout this sort of crap before but itâs now evident that they are only allowing normal slow trading, anything out of the ordinary and they stop you from making any money
Iâm already checking othwr brokers/apps. This is so disgracefull!
does this mean my pending orders wont go through when the market opens?
You donât have to sell. You just canât buy more.
Nobody is being forced to sell. If you read the message it says no new positions can be opened. You are free to sell what you have, or hold it, just not buy more.
The restriction will be lifted when the crazy stops.
