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.
Unfortunately it does. Has hampered quite a few of our plans today
Itās not suspended forever
Iām sorry but just because a few retail brokers are restricting buying of a stock, does not mean it will definitely fall. On these stocks in particular, there is a lot of buying volume from hedge funds and HFTs.
I get your point though, Iām glad I sold out most of mine yesterday but it took me the entire day until I could get an order in. At least this way you should be free to sell whenever you like (fingers crossed!)
Its not investing. Everyone putting money into game stop is doing it for 2 reasons.
A)WE KNOW the price has to go up since short positions have yet to be closed. The short interest is still above 100, so this is free money right now.
B) Its a way to stick it to big money. The higher game stop climbs the more money they lose. Theyre very likely to end up going bankrupt at this rate.
This is a movement where retail investors can bankrupt big money. They were the ones manipulating the market. We just caught on

Stopped again. Iām allowed to sell but not buy. That seems like market manipulation to me.
Is this legal? Should I be complaining to the FCA?

Can we short it? Actually a great chance to get it on way down on dips
I know for sure Iāll be moving my money to another platform once this is over.
I just canāt rely on Trading 212 to be on my side or reliably work in times like these.
Too bad, I quite liked it too

They arenāt forcing you to sell though thatās the point. They are giving you the option that you can sell if you wish but you just canāt buy anymore. Thereās a big difference and people are losing their minds not understanding this.
Do I want to buy? Absolutely it was my whole game plan for today and itās scrubbed. No point me throwing the towel in. Plenty of other plays available

Of course they do! If they give you only one option(sell), whatās the message? Buy? Of course I will hold to squeeze the bears but you canāt ignore that the system is rigged for the poor retailers!

The message is simple. You canāt buy yet. You can hold as long as you wish to as high as you like and sell when you like.
Itās 2 stocks only that itās happening to one of which is down premarket the other has exploded. Both I hold
Do they restrict hedge funds as well? I mean not permanentlyā¦as you said just a temporary to give them chillsā¦to force them pay a bit more interestā¦rightā¦!

Mate you need to chill out and stop stressing over something you nor we have no control over. Itās not a conspiracy nor would they be backing Hedge Funds as the more trades opened the more fees earned for them. Iām not happy about it but this is life, shit happens. Iām holding all the and 
in this puppy as well as others and individuals
