I wish it was that simple, Ally Invest has blocked it too. Unbelievable.

A TOS doesn't make them legally in the clear. They could've wrote in that they own your first born now if they wanted.When you sign up to trade you agree to terms.

How to unite a divided team: Find a common enemy.
Ted Cruz quote retweeting AOC in agreement is something else.
This has to be the weirdest team up ever. Could this be the unity Biden spoke about?!
That makes sense, but doesnt most of these trading platforms require payment upfront for people to do the trading? So if customer lose big, the trading platform (e.g RH) already have that money.Ha!
Think of it this way. Someone that isn't an accredited investor (provides some legal cover and opens up what you can do) trades on margin and dabbles in options that they shouldn't be. Said brokerage allowed this to happen without appropriate risk management in place or approvals. Said person loses $150K. RH now needs to collect that from you. You file for BK or refuse to pay etc.... the other side of the trade is looking for payment. RH says the person can't pay, other side says why and they say they don't have the money. The other side said why were they trading in this manner? RH shrugs? Other side of the trade demands payment from RH or is forced to chase down collection.
There' s no rational reason for them to own your first born. There is plenty of valid reason for them to be able to restrict stock purchases.A TOS doesn't make them legally in the clear. They could've wrote in that they own your first born now if they wanted.
Lol this is surreal.
2021 crazier than 2020.
Anyone who opened an account at just about any broker. They tell you in plain language that they can restrict your account for basically any reason, and can restrict buying and selling of certain securities at their discretion.
Simply incredible
Yeah if your list of common enemies is this varied, you've fucked up in a catastrophic way.

A lot of the shorts would have had to close today or tomorrow. It is blatant market manipulation.They should explain why they allowed stock purchases until today.They must had made crazy money when they were selling millions and millions of orders and seemingly the risk was there as it's now.
Yes, it's likely IMO that the Cohen announcement caused HFs to look at Gamestop stock again and go, "Wait... its short % is WHAT?" and once the stock price went past a certain point realized that it was time to eat Melvin and crew alive for lunch.Likely easiest to do an initial pullback completely and block the stock rather than bifurcating what can be done.
Almost all of the volume has been institutional money the past two weeks. Especially at these price levels. The actual retail trading volumes are incredibly low here.
This always has been HFs trading amongst themselves. When GME peaked at $20B of daily trading value the other day, I assume retail was somewhere less than $1B of that.
That is wonderful to see.

Me too and I bought more nakd
It says that they can restrict trading on anything at their choice.
RH is looking at its potential losses here and I assume they are staggering as most of the people with the highest risk have the lowest ability to pay.
People loved trading on RH because they had almost no risk management procedures. I mean you can literally pay to get access to the riskiest strats.
Anyone remember the RH infinite leverage setup?

Any real brokerage would never have allowed this to exist.
no need to get sassy with me, young man (or woman). I misunderstood the point you were making, no biggie.That's not what I meant. Way to miss the point. I meant the back and forth selling between hedge funds to trick algorthims. Sounds pretty sketchy to me.
Regarding your point: I get that but abusing your own ToS in this case is market manipulation, nothing else.
It happens all the time, at many different brokers. This is not new.True, they have the right to do it when it comes to the T&C that users agree to. But is manipulating a stock price by broadly restricting volume okay for them to do legally? I think that's a different question outside the scope of the T&C. (I don't have anywhere near the kind of financial or legal knowledge to know, personally.)
