@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.

@IBKR Please. Limiting customers' ability to purchase certain securities is a bad look.

@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

@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

@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

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.

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

@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 They want to ensure the price falls so they can make money and help their primary customers.

@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.

@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

(@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

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 Robinhood users have become a threat to market stability. The Fed and SEC could regulate their business model in response.

@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

(@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...

@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.

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.

@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

(@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

(@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

(@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.

@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.
