Shorting might be in jeopardyRobin Hood and Reddit etc. might have opened Pandora's box, informed the investing world to something we traders have known for decades---that our brokers have essentially colluded with short sellers to knock our SP down, our SP and any other vulnerable victim they so chose to ruin.
Already I've seen my broker, TD, limit some aspects of shorting. Others as well. Some say this is a flash in the pan, will be big news and then go away. Foolsish---the cat is out of the bag, the ship has sailed, the barn door is open, the genie is out of the bottle---too late, too late.
What can the SEC do, other regulators? Whatever they do, it has to be right in the face of millions and millions of people who will be watching at home, isolated and frustrated by Covid.
They shut Trump down on Twitter because he rocked the boat, threatened the Marxist agenda of his radical left feminist base. Biden is killing jobs in the fossil fuel sector, allowing China and Russia to jump for joy as America weakens and they pollute without guilt or conscience, enlarge their military, open the doors to foreign investors.
America is now ruled by a pack of children, minds thoroughly indoctrinated by far left feminist Marxist doctrine. Shut down the pipeline project, send those rough individuals to the factories that make solar panels---except there are no factories.
Give Iran the green light. Who will take care of that. Israel, without the help of America because Congress is full of people who hate Israel, brainwashed in universities. This could go on and on. In a few months they will be crying for Trump to come back, but it's too late. IMO
