Like when the major stock brokers disabled the options to buy GME, BB and other meme stocks back in January(?). With the current stupid state of the stock market(jesus christ just look at it), do you think the Sec will make a move to fuck with it again?

Imagine making 9 cents from the S&P500 and celebrating

I think I read at the time that it was beginning to turn into not just a short squeeze, but a gamma squeeze. That means the brokerages would have had to participate in buying Gamestop shares in order to hedge against the risks of selling options, which would have pushed the price up even further and the whole thing would have been even more fucked, and could have lead to entire brokerages getting wiped out. So they just said “no” and stopped trading.

“I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating - partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400 and, now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes demands on one’s time, and it’s worth while running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money.”
