  • justo25131233 hh (@justo25131233) reported

    @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

  • kerryt9455 Kerry Tobin (@kerryt9455) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Love that people think the inexperienced investors were going to "WIN" on GME. It was going to crash back to Earth sooner or later and they were all going to lose, Robinhood's decision just sped the process up a bit. My hope is that this isn't the start of a much larger crash...

  • meauho Econ proves Progressivism works (@meauho) reported

    @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

  • equijohn John Equi (@equijohn) reported

    @IBKR This is called selling out your core values to the " To big to fail Banks " Well done selling out the little guy , will be interesting to see how that works out for your bottom line down the road 🤔

  • cspamus2 cspamus2 (@cspamus2) reported

    @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

  • k11pow kp 😷 (@k11pow) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Make the bad men stop mark

  • DJIceMusic DJ Ice (@DJIceMusic) reported

    @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!

  • DJIceMusic DJ Ice (@DJIceMusic) reported

    @IBKR Nope, can’t trade at all when you shut it down in order to save hedge funds!

  • GuillsJon Stinky (@GuillsJon) reported

    @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

  • kknow1888 Kknow (@kknow1888) reported

    Can’t buy, can’t short, wtf man. These brokers can’t be trusted at all @IBKR @RobinhoodApp

  • MadMox20 Crystal Shelton (@MadMox20) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR So who steps in to help at this point? Retail investors jus need to bend the knee and kiss the ring? That seems so wrong

  • stocksentinel 3035 stock sentinel 💹 (@stocksentinel) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Please help us bring a class action lawsuit against them.

  • SOriginalMusic Sean Original (@SOriginalMusic) reported

    @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

  • HHaines15 Hawnk (@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

  • mindsoul mindsoul (@mindsoul) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR robinhood will go down on this, if people are smart will move away from applications that becomes "regulatory" on behalf on hedge funds.

  • c_kuenzel Bryan C Kuenzel (@c_kuenzel) reported

    @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

  • joelouisyancey Dead Tweet Dad (@joelouisyancey) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Technology and low/no commission platforms have made it too easy for “regular people” to band together and make a splash. A HUGE splash. Wall Street was not prepared or equipped for it. They probably felt their only play to slow the train and tilt back to their favor. #BigBrother

  • jglinacre 🤴🏻Jamesie (@jglinacre) reported

    @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

  • _olli_p_ Investingly (@_olli_p_) reported

    @IBKR what's wrong with you?! **** you

  • VladKatanos Victor Kane (@VladKatanos) reported

    @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.

  • maidmmm Michele Maidman (@maidmmm) reported

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

  • StephensShop Stephen (@StephensShop) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Im down big because of the crooks at robinhood. They won’t let the average person win!

  • PRodChicago Paul Rodriguez (@PRodChicago) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It has to do with the firms leverage, ability to locate stock for the shorts, and overall position, they block pros too when they have too big a position as a firm, also, there maybe risk about collecting the customer margin if/when the bottom falls out.

  • Scottie_Ice ScottyTheBody (@Scottie_Ice) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Bailing out the pros? That’s my guess. Just like the exchanges did during the flash crash. So much for a free market—the game is rigged.

  • USversusUS Question Everything (@USversusUS) reported

    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.

  • octal Ryan Lackey (@octal) reported

    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

  • gp_aya Gabriel Ayache (@gp_aya) reported

    @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.

  • jta381 jta38 (@jta381) reported

    @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.

  • samrunta swamps are good, actually (@samrunta) reported

    @IBKR super cool how y’all shut down trades to protect hedge fund managers but still haven’t given me and a few hundred of your other customers access to the money in our own accounts. Cannot believe @SEC_Enforcement hasn’t wrecked your **** yet.

  • StephensShop Stephen (@StephensShop) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Im down big of the crooks at robinhood. They won’t let the average person win!
