they shut it down because only billionaires are allowed to trade in a 'free market'
So thats why I had trouble logging in. Wtf.
I’m still curious why my buys didn’t go through. I gave myself 1-2$ buffer above the asking price at the time I pressed buy. Wtf.
This whole situation is amusing, and repulsive at the same time.
The Repulsive/Disgusting Side
The TL;DR for this is: those who have money can rig the system and refuse to play by the rules they set. These boomers got outmaneuvered and have been acting about as well as Trump has. If the system is rigged, we're gonna find out soon; that's the general census on WSB and the internet right now.
I've managed to pull in 3 friends and my fiancee onboard. Initially it was to make a quick buck, now it's because we want to contribute to the cause: do the old rich fucks play by the rules we've agreed to play by set by them? Or are they going to be spineless cowards and do this:
Really Amusing Part
It's ******* amusing, because I've grown up watching the internet act like a hivemind troll. I've even orchestrated, a decade or two ago, a raid on Welcome to Gaia | Gaia Online with a ton of people from World of Warcraft back when there were 12 million something players; couple thousand players went to Gaia Online simply to shitpost. Never did I think there'd be a day where the same childish, offensive, retarded self deprecating humor we've shared would result in the possible ass raping of billionaires.
It's beautiful :')
EDIT: Oh look, the moderators removed the post of why it would take at least a week for the billionaires to cover their short positions lol

I dont think its childish or offensive, just a bunch of young kids who saw an opportunity, and took it
human beings have done some pretty terrible things for money, this doesnt even register on the richter scale
Well, I was originally going in for money but as I started digging....
A friend of mine put it best "this isn't an investment anymore, this is a donation to hit the corrupt where it hurts." There's a pretty high risk of all of us losing money lol
Looks like my BB.TO went in by end of day when the stock went down at $30/each.

Them hedge fund managers want to scare people trying
Hold.... :0
Questrade rejected my BB order this morning. Manipulation!
The brokerages rejecting trades is not going to end well. The wording of your rejection makes it look like the market shut you down not Questrade. Is that spin or reality? Is the market allowed to block trades without an order from the regulator?
There will be some amazing case studies on this mess in the coming years. It will be really interesting to see the timing of when the hedgefunds actually unwound their positions. I have zero faith in anything they say in a press release as that is just more propaganda to attempt to manipulate the market.
I could see the SEC just going with a blanket rule going forward where any person or company is unable to comment on anything they hold (or shorted). If you do comment, there is a 48 hour blackout window before you can take a position. There are still ways around it but it makes it more complicated to profit from blatant market manipulation. I think this should have been done long ago, but the big guys taking it in the teeth may finally be the nudge that was required for action.

WOW
Sells are going through but I can't buy
Sells are going through but I can't buy
Mine went through this morning. As did last night's. BB.TO is around $21 now so it's tanking. Let's see what happens.
fack. that is really bad. Can you see the sizes? Are the completed orders all the same number of shares? Have they switched to whole block trading to block out the little guys?

BB.TO is not halted, Questrade is just helping the banks..
Wow.
Yesterday I bought a block of 75, today 10. No issues. Just confirmed that the trades were executed.
EDIT: I gambled, possibly lost, possibly didn't....time will tell. But it is very interesting to see the manipulation by the big boys. But GME is still climbing. Slower than yesterday but climbing. $370USD right now.
EDIT: I lied....it's $420 now....no wait $411...no wait $400.....$395...$392...$400...
