Same manipulation and naked shorting on AMC and GME is still happening under the nose of SEC, but The APE community is galvanised, they donāt care about the FUD, they have seen it all before, they buy the dips and they buy the peaks, they will keep on buying till they 've achieved their objective.

We need some one brave enough to make some radical changes to level the playing field and provide fair trade for everyone.
Thank you all for your advises.

The market is full of manipulation. Itās not fair but the world isnāt fair. No amount of regulation will stop it. But it doesnāt greatly affect you if youāre a long term investor. Sure they can sink a stock or pump it, but either way is good for you as a long term investor, and you canāt deny that the price will always revert to the ācorrectā price at some point. It canāt be manipulated forever.
If you want to trade, manipulation is just part of the game and you have to work with it. As a long term investor, you can essentially ignore it keep buying. Only time you have to worry about it is when youāre ready to sell.
Best of luck to you anyway, I wouldnāt get caught up in it all. Youāll only stress yourself out and risk making bad decisions.

When we click on the buy or sell button ,we do it with our own risk ,I understand that ,itās my choice ,any loss or profit is mine, but when somebody else using my shares and making millions and causing me loosing money , do you think this fair?
Does anyone know a good gif for blowing my own brains out or maybe something that accurately describes regurgitating something dead and old or best yet both happening at the same time?

After reading a couple of posts, I decide not finish reading the rest of the posts, as it seems iliteracy + too much social media, have created a distorted reality.
I congratulate the communityās fellows that continued answering to help clarify the cloudy minds. You still have patience for the same soap opera. Crooks, hedge funds are evil, shorters are the devil. I wonder what are the age for some people, or at least their mental age.

No concerns regards share lending. Itās something I read about in financial journals, years ago, to try and understand market dynamics. The sophisticated market participant will seek to take advantage, as we all would.
I suggest, knowledge is power! Not a novel idea but a good one to remember.

Don and Doug, cut me a slack here, we are fellow investors, I am not picking a fight here, just expressing my view and concern about the unfair trading practices.
Dmert hope you realise I was taking the piss out of Don, and some others on here are just having a bit of a light hearted joke because your opinion is very one sided.
Not to say itās wrong or any one of us is right as everyone is entitled to their own.
A good example of why anyone should not believe anything they read online from any source and DYOR. Especially when it comes to WSB/Reddit and so on.
Your post on RLX, I get what you mean can be seen to take it too far.
I disagree with your post about GME being fair play. Iām not saying the shorters in that instance were good, but back to what I was saying earlier, if you truly believed that GME was a good investment, then on the flip side they allowed you to get in cheaper.
The reason they shorted the company was because it was in distress and had been mismanaged for years, so it was a reasonably good bet that itās performance was likely to be abysmal. What took place was a whole new level of manipulation so to speak that took things in the other direction and people thought that was a good thing as a result. Lots of retail investors that joined in lost money not getting out quick enough. It was a gamble that paid off for some.
Both the crooks as you call them and the Reddit crew for lack of a better phrase, in the current market can back for or against the company. That is freedom of the markets to put your money where your mouth is.
Similarly I ask you to look at any company that offers leveraged shares or inverse views.
There are lots, and a popular one on this forum that does up to 3x either way. No one is jumping up and down about them.

Please read the recent SEC report on the events that happened earlier this year or look for Patrick Boyles channel. It will teach you a lot. Itās very sad to watch another person this delusional. Investing is unfortunately one of those fields where non professionals can participate and so that brings a lot of irrational opinions, Iām trying to imagine the same spirit at a medical conference where a clear non professional is telling everyone how the heart works, disaster. I donāt mean to be judgemental but some of us studying years, work in the industry on prop desks and other positions, to be told how bad things are by somebody who clearly does not know anything technical about how brokers, clearing houses, funds, settlement systems etc works is simply offensive. Get an education first mate. And Iām not saying retail investors canāt be knowledgeable because they are but you are not one of those.

Looks like my wording hit a nerve in you, Mr know it all, if you are not judgemental ,I wonder who is?
SEC Report in complete denial of what has happened in January and your recommended friend Patrick defends every word of it and sweeps it under the carpet, what a waste !!
Us Retail investors want transparency, no dark pools, no naked shortings, no short ladder attacks, no D- Limit orders , All we want is better regulations, more transparency and level playing field for everyone.
