That is some real BS there. Not allowing people to buy certain stocks, but can sell them.
It's absolutely madness my friend.
The rich can pump & dump and go short on the hopes and dreams of the poor, but when the poor decide to show the rich that it isn't just their money that can be used to make a profit, the powers that be swoop on it and try to fuck the poor by restricting their ability to make a profit.
Bill Ackman shorted the market just a while back while practically crying on national television about how the market will crash due to the pandemic. His little antics led to a $2.6 billion gain on a short bet on CDS indexes, but no one came in to save the common man while they lost all their money due to Ackman's crying.
Yet, somehow when the poor (I say poor, but I mean anyone who isn't grossing over $10 million per year), can't have a little fun while making a profit on the sinister deeds of the rich because big brother disguised as Robinhood decides to step in and stop them from making a few coins? Fuck that...
How fucking ironic, that the company that bears the name of a fictional character that would rob the rich for the benefit of the poor is INSTEAD helping to keep the rich rich at the expense of the poor. (Someone let me know if I am the first person to coin this spin on Robinhood, as Reuters nor Bloomberg has shown me any headlines suggesting anyone else using this spin)
