iOS will soon learn not to autocorrect KOSS to LOSS

It’s at $112 a share right now.

This is the cleverest pump-and-dump scheme I've ever seen. It's a shame it's at the expense of people who probably can't afford to lose money. OK if it's ten bucks, but right now as people see profits in many multiples for their ten bucks, they're thinking how much a few hundred would make them.

Meanwhile, every sharp operator in the world is trying to figure out a way to get people to buy a stock to stick it to the man so he can get in early and dump late. The SEC really needs to step in and protect the sheep now queueing up to be shorn.

Watching that KOSS stock keep going up is getting hard to watch, haha. But id be more pissed if I couldn't sell it.

Is my investment protected if this takes Robinhood down? Sigh.

"You can only sell stocks, you cannot buy them"

Talk about market manipulation.

So Robinhood sent me an email explaining what market volatility is (gee thanks) and then pulls this crap. I'm not in on any of these but it still pisses me off.

Same here. If I would've held on to my KOSS stock and couldn't sell it today (which would've happened), I would be livid and almost seems criminal somehow.

What would Robinhood charge you to say buy 100 shares of GME? And if the answer is zero, I'm wondering how the firm makes money then.

Yep, their bull right out in the open. Hedge funds can manipulate the hell out of the market and steal from the retail investors, but retail investors can't fight back. It's crap. Then to literally restrict people from investing, I'd say unreal, but it isn't that surprising.

Etrade still allowing buying of GME, AMC, etc.

I doubt it. Their companies have booths at the Wall St. carnival for different things: Avenue Capital for distressed debt, and Fortress for more PE and IPO stuff.

I put some fun money into NOK and SNDL, not GME (too pricey for fun money).

Really curious to see how this plays out, this is just a wild series of events. 2020 and 2021 have been the weirdest ****ing years ever.

Blatant abuse of power and they aren't even ashamed about it. Seriously, **** the big guy.

The worst part is it's not even just Robinhood, it's ALL of them. The big guys will never lose.

The abuse of power is so damn obvious here. You know it's a weird **** time when AOC and Ted Cruz agree:
