Naked ShortingThe real problem is Naked Shorting by the "Big Boys" (the brokerage firms and the hedge funds).They sell shares which they haven't borrowed, driving the price down all day long and then they buy back the shares at the end of the day at a much lower price to cover their selling at a much higher price and pocketing a profit. This is not legal but it happens every day!
It happened to BB on Friday. Why was BB down at the end of the day when all the American company's that Robinhood and Reddit were promoting were up?
The answer is Wall Steet doesn't like Candian company's even though BB has better fundamentals than the other American company's that Reddit is promoting to buy.
Am I the only one that finds it odd that there are days when 60-70% of the trading on BB is between a major Canadian brokerage firm and Anonymous? Who is Anonymous?
We the "Little Guys" need more transparency!
