After this is all said and done, there will be Congressional hearings regarding this....the dog & pony show will be attended by representatives from Melvin, Point72, Robinhood, WSB and others.
The issue at hand is whether it is legal for small retail traders to "collude" to drive shareprices beyond the stratosphere....a practice which is as old as the bucketshops, by the way.
I tend to side with the brokerages on this one....greed is a powerful, powerful emotion, and I don't want to see my mom get sucked into logging onto her Schwab account and buying $50,000 GME at $425 a share because some idiot she knows on facebook made a post saying it was "risk-free money".
