So apparently the SP 500 had a pretty good day today....

I used to be all over those yahoo message boards. One of the first places to talk stocks was yahoo finance stock message boards. Lots of penny stock pushers on there, just like today, the same garbage.

They didn't hold congressional meetings nor called in Yahoo / moderators / pushers of those stock message boards back then.

Yet, they did such for GME because institutional traders (Wall Street hedge funds) lost a lot of money...most likely constituents of some of those in congress.

I think that's the difference between Yahoo stock message boards from back in the day versus something like Reddit and Wall Street Bets today. Plus today, live streaming and better technology to get a ton of retail traders together (fast) to fight the big boys...that wasn't possible back in the day.

Any link to the news? It seems we may see a big pullback on ES on Monday.
