Extreme corruption. Robinhood and Citadel directors need to be in prison for the bullcrap they pulled today.

Good on him he's ahead of the curve there. I dont like recommending stocks because I'll feel like absolute crap if they tank! But right now I'm big on any EV stock. Especially since Joe is making the entire federal fleet go EV.

Wall Street Execs know that white collar crimes never really get hard punishment.. Heck, after the 2008 crash and all the bullsh*t they pulled you would think some Execs went to prison, but no.. almost collapsing the financial system doesnt warrant prison time, so why not boldly risk it again? They are rolling the dice that the SEC fines/lawsuit settlements will be less than the hedge funds going belly up... they believe they wont face any real punishment and they're likely right, because our country is corrupt and they always get slaps on the wrist and hundred million dollar fines..
Until some high profile people begin going to prison over market manipulation, these Wall Street Execs will continue acting in this manner.. because the gains far outweigh the fines.

I dunno. RH may not survive this.
If I had money there, I'd probably pull it out right away.

Ya.. the banks we're doing predatory loans, committing foreclosure fraud and no one got in trouble. Crashed the housing market, gotta tax payer bailout, and was even allowed to keep the properties and purchase more at depreciated prices !
Remind me... Who was the Vice President when that happened ?
No one is getting in trouble for this... No matter the market cost from stock runs, no matter the tertiary effects to securities ( now with no glass/stegal!).

They were set to IPO this year I think...I have my doubts now. If only I could bet on their bankruptcy now!
