@PyjamaTrader HF and brokers are like that kid that disconnects the xbox once he’s losing. **** @RobinhoodApp @IBKR

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They have been bought out by the big banks/hedge funds. These hedge funds had a decision to make: close their short positions at a major loss or buy out robinhood and restrict purchase of these stocks and double down on their shorts. It’s clear what they chose to do

@meckimac @GerberKawasaki @IBKR I wonder if RH or TDA will shut down $TSLA and $AAPL tomorrow if hedge funds paid a fee?

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It’s amazing that when the big guys screw over the retail traders with the amount of manipulation they do it’s ok. But when reversed it’s now an issue? People are now locked out from buying in a supposedly free market.Ya not liquidity issues it’s manipulation

@IBKR This is Canada and the market is meant to be a FREE market. Why are you not allowing purchase of the stock GME? I thought you cared about your customer's financial freedom. Empty words.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Trading platforms are supporting HF by limiting trades to only sells, thus manipulating stock price down. This is BS.

Manipulating trading platforms to only liquidate stocks that retail investors are targeting to beat hedge funds. @RobinhoodApp @TDAmeritrade @IBKR retail investors make you stupid greedy companies money. STOP LETTING "men in suits" from deciding companies fate.

@IBKR **** you for trying to control the “free” market. Until the SEC decide to halt trading you have no authority to limit what people buy

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Citadel, who owns Robinhood, provided the capital to Melvin for the short that started this event. RH would rather risk a class action for market manipulation than let down their owner.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR ..and where the bubble will end with their own portfolios at risk. Of note: $TSLA is more overpriced than $AMC or $BB but it's a slow gain so that's perfectly fine /s

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Citadel and SAC were part of the backstop for Melvin-Plotkin's losses: they can either keep throwing $$ down that black hole or shut down trading in the name... easy call

@IBKR You should be ashamed of yourselves @IBKR freaking market manipulators. Shutting down trading only to those who want to buy while letting your HF friends close their short positions is #MarketManipulation #Criminals #InteractiveBrokers

@IBKR Sean Original @SOriginalMusic This is conclusive proof that retail has hedge funds on their heels. Once again they need bailed out and go crying to their friends. The free market making a decision to support a stock they like is NOT a "Situation". Pathetic. #GameStop #GME #WSB

@IBKR Why should you manage anything when @IBKR can just stop you from trading and shut down the free market to serve their agenda? Market manipulation at its finest! I hope you all go to jail!

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Too bad we can’t get an immediate injunction. They are manipulating the market because the funds had over leveraged naked short positions that need an exit.

(@HHaines15) reported
@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I'm assuming it's a margin issue. Most RH accounts are margin, and IBKR has just increased requirements to 100% for long 300 for short. My guess is they don't want to hold the risk if it goes to 0 and people just dump the accounts while owing them thousands of dollars

@JSeyff @RobinhoodApp @IBKR i have some meme stocks to sell you if you believe that its because their app somehow has trouble with buys but not sells

It's legit to raise margin requirements (especially for shorts) in times of high volatility. Shutting off access to markets, though (buying options!) is ******* bullshit, though. **** @IBKR

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR When TSLA runs up 2000% in 9 months and Wall Street makes a fortune, no problem. When retail traders make a little they shut them down? How is that legal?

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Bottom line from Mark "They set the rules and need to live but the consequences". The second the rules didn't benefit them they shut down the ability to play by the rules. I am no economist/lawyer but it seems like total BS to allow selling but not buying of a stock.

@GerberKawasaki Of course they can, they're private companies but is it the right thing to do? It's not just RobinHood. Brokerage companies for professional traders like @IBKR shut it down, too. This is very concerning IMO.
