Did anyone watch the GME thing on netflix? I forgot all about robinhood shutting off trading. Still insane to me that wasn't considered market manipulation.
Did the SEC say it wasn’t? Cause otherwise I’m guessing they’re leisurely investigating and will be for some time.

it wasn't market manipulation or anything akin to it. there were some pretty good explanations of it posted at the time, in this thread afaik.

I misread the post. I meant the WallStreetBets guys, not Robinhood.

Those AMC and GME people are some of the more annoying people on the planet

Its almost like making the money machine go BRRRRRTTTTT for 10 years might lead to things being over valued.

That's why I'm glad I have tangible goods like marginal farmland in western KS that's running out of water and like 20 boxes of shotgun shells to go along with my STONKS.

I have cash and also one bass viola da gamba (good condition) to barter if things get hairy.

I'm going to go live with my brother, he's got tons of barter-able items.

Plus more guns than I do. Problem is, they're all hunting weapons, so we can't really go tactical and all that stuff. So we'll probably just barricade ourselves in.

This exact scenario is why I bought an inflation-proof asset like crypto.

I bought some AMZN this morning. I'll probably continue to buy it for a while.

We have a ways to go on rates...and it's premature to talk about a pause

Any thoughts on how much shelter cost and petroleum inputs are driving inflation? I get the fed only has one lever to pull but it feels like their lever isn’t going to do much against those.

steve dave · « **Reply #4295 on:** November 02, 2022, 02:14:12 PM »

I think as long as we are at essentially full employment they will just keep whipping asses, inflation be damned.

Did you know, I bought AMZN stock at $12 once. Obv very little or I would be on a beach permanently w/o internets.

I bought and sold a bunch of MRNA before the pandemic when it was below $20. The only thing that makes me feel better is I know I would have sold at $28-$40.

why do you use both td and ib? out of curiousity.

One for holding long positions and one for trading options.

I also prefer the charting on TOS (TD owned platform) over IB. Better fill rates in high volatility on IB though.
