The little guy starts to win and Wall Street Changes the rules

We've seen this time and time again, and now we have yet another example.

We had GameStop up a ton, we had hedge funds on the ropes, and then what happens?

Out of left field several major brokerages announce they are restricting trading in GameStop.

Robinhood included, which is the most popular trading platform among the youngins.

What happens?

GameStop stock tanks as they can't keep up the buying pressure as they can no longer trade the stock.

Does that sound rigged to you?

It should, because it is.

Now the CEO of the Nasdaq is saying they monitor social media activity and if too much chatter is going on about a stock that is going up, they may suspend trading in that stock.

Are you kidding me?

What about if the stock goes up and causes people to talk about it?

This is all getting so absurd, why don't they just put limits on stocks where they can't go up more than 10% in a day, I mean that is where we are heading.

What happened to free markets and people being able to make decisions for themselves?

It's fine when the little guys loses day after day, but when they get one victory against the establishment, they got smacked down.

Yep, sounds about right, it's time for a change.
