    All of a sudden there is concern about market manipulation while the big players have been at the same game for decades.

    As some have pointed out, Warren has been a silent conspirator with the Globalists all along.
    If it were not for her, Bernie Sanders would have been the Democrat nominee.

    Nothing quite like a crony Socialist who is really just a blue nosed elitist.

    Biden and Harris are both puppets for the Hedge Fund Lobby and now we can factually add Warren to the list.

    Warren wants the ties between RH and hedge funds to be investigated:

    Seems like the exact opposite of what the title of your thread claims.

    Hope that she did not get that idea from QANON.

    The OP's posting history isn't exactly the bastion of Truth. :cynic:

    First off, you're WRONG!

    Secondly, look who's not producing ANY sort of argument to the OP, which is something YOU hold others to so, so ardently? (Like you did in a post less than 10 minutes ago re. THE SAME DAMN THING.)

    If they’re going to start regulating the stock market, it’d better effect everyone equally.

    Manipulating short stocks is nothing new, but I find it quite telling that everybody was kind of ok with it right until it cost the big players billions of dollars.

    Is there a point in providing legitimacy to a dishonest thread by arguing with them on their level? I’d say what needs to be said has been said at this point.

    The first three replies more than debunked the OP's claim. That and the fact that Elizabeth Warren has been arguing for regulation of hedge funds for over a decade. It's like arguing that Mitch McConnell is completely open to judicial nominees from Democrat Presidents.

    So no, it is not at all like your nonsense reply in the other thread.

    I don't know if anyone really truly understood short selling before. And in this case the regulations that do exist allowed the hedge funds to purely over gamble enough to the point that it caused collateral economic damage in the billions on a stock that wasn't even worth that.

    Most of the right wingers who were dumb enough to think this is a little guy beats the system story don’t even know what a short sale is.

    But they’ll be back next week wailing crocodile tears for all the other suckers who bought high, and are shortly going to face the reality that the only option they have is to sell low and suck up the loss.

    Which is the fate of every digital mob.

    He refuted the OP’s misleading claim. And documented it.

    We all know that the sort of folks who think MeWe is a news source get angry when confronted with actual facts.

    Her first post (Post #6) in this thread didn't refute ANYTHING let alone argue/debate/discuss the OP.

    Yet s/he EXPECTS others to do so.

    All I see is her calling for a complete investigation into the entire thing: hedge funds, possible pump/dumpers in the the WallstreetBets subreddit, Robinhood et al stopping buying of stocks, etc. There's absolutely nothing in that letter that "sides with the hedge funds." I've seen multiple people on this board try to claim that she's suddenly backing hedge funds, but no one has any quotes or evidence to support that other than her calling for a full investigation.

    Back-dated option, the corporation by name.

    Hey this is kinda fun!

    BTW, "SEC" stands for "Securities and Exchange Commission".

    Yeah, the forum gods should increase the available edit time on posts.
