so why isnt there some kind of like, variation of a poison pill to prevent this sort of volatility from happening? like when its clear that the increased interest in your stock is not because of confidence in the company but just to spite some d bags that probably deserve it...i dunno it seems like there can and should be a mechanism in place to disincentivize investors from doing that sort of thing?

i neither endorse nor refute the view expressed that this person will or should go to jail, but instead share it because it's very funny.

The SEC is stepping in now.

Little guys, this stuff is only for our most favored (Securities and Exchange Commission)

Hey hey, only the biggest lobbying budgets are allowed to run up worthless IPO's (and similar) and then dump them!! (The SEC)

Dax, I’m not 100% certain the SEC is doing what you think it’s doing....

The stock market craze makes me feel really stupid, because I don't understand the stock market at all and I don't even want to take the time to figure it out. I really enjoyed watching The Big Short, but I was so rough ridin' lost watching that movie. Sigh.

To be honest, I think 90% of americans feels that way about it, and more people have learned about the stock market this week than probably since 1929, cause the way 2007/8 worked is also not exactly straight forward unless you get a good doc to explain it to you. For most people all they care is their 401k's are funded and it's tied to the stock market in some way and you want it to go up and get returns so you can retire, and that is honestly probably as far as most people think about it. It's obviously way more than that, but that doesn't make you any sort of unique in this.

GME was good to me. Wish I had wagered more.

Guys, this kerfuffle got me to buy my first stock today.

TSLA?

No, ActivisionBlizzard. Nothing exciting, but I just wanted to start with a company I'm familiar with.

Also got some AMC for the lols (and I'm rooting for them to survive).

can we team up and cast a wide net on the internet for easy money-making opportunities?

We need some of our young whippersnappers to trawl reddit and deposit the actual golden gems here. TIA.
