Apparently the little guy is winning and the experts don’t like it. Completely false headline. They banned short selling and have instituted 100% margin requirements. I worked at a shop that had a margin run in 2001 when Telco cratered (which was a separate bubble from the dot com bubble) and the compliance guys at TD know what they're doing. No one should be buying AMC or GME on margin at this point because it makes the loss run at a 2x rate and if the stock moves more than 50% in a short period there is major systemic risk absorbed by the brokerage house because the collateral on the loan can disappear in a split second. They are trying to save retail morons from themselves as well. I've been ass in the chair in two massive bear markets (not counting the March 2020 temporary crash) and these people have no god damned clue what they're walking into.

Yeah they TOTALLY care about small time investors taking a bath. Yeah, they do when they're on fucking margin because margin runs bring down brokers. And with commissions basically zero, outfits like TD don't want 6,000 proles calling in and bitching because they "couldn't sell" when they pushed the sell button because the stock was halted or there was no buyer or whatever. When you get no commish, you don't want to deal with the headaches that are going to come if you have brokedick proles taking 100% losses.

No prole without massive reserves should ever be buying anything on margin. Ever. There are pros in that game, and they ain't it.

I hate video games. With the amount of Fortnite and Call of Duty my kids play, I wouldn't be surprised if they're recruited to be snipers. In fact military recruitment might be the actual raison d'etre of those games in the first place. Actual conversation: "Hey dad should I go with the drum gun or tactical shotgun? Or the sniper rifle? It's more accurate but doesn't fire as fast. Hey what's a 50 caliber for?" ME: WHAT THE FUCK I made them watch Blackhawk Down so they understood the actual effect of bullets on bodies and Fury so they could see what a 50 caliber is for.

My son is only allowed to play Super C and Double Dragon when I play, which is like once a month. My dad bought him a switch a couple of years ago and he has played about 30 minutes of Mario Kart in his life as well. My wife and I have a goal for him to be a functioning human when he is 30.

You're a better parent than I am. All of their friends play these fucking games. Even the Catholic/Hebrew school kids. They play them online with each other, which really ups the ante, because they organize like fucking kill squads against other players. I've tried to get them into the Star Wars Battlefront series, but these other games are more alluring because their friends are playing them. It's infuriating.

Well According to this guy it because men don’t get enough sex they then have to take out their frustrations by blowing up the stock market. This is probably pretty accurate tbh. But it's really not entirely fair to blame the guys for all of this. Men in this society are held to almost impossible and increasingly narrow standards and definitions of desirability and success. It's the same shit women have been dealing with, with an infusion of testosterone and aggression and inability of males to address their insecurities.

Women aren't held to impossible standards because testosterone will cause a gal who is a 4 turn into a 9.5 at 1:40 in the morning in an Iowa City bar. The inverse is not true. A woman has intrinsic value that most men never will. Until she hits The Wall anyway. The problem the guys have is hypergamy. The rape factories masquerading as colleges are skewing close to 60/40 female and the gals don't want to marry down. "Oh you didn't go to college and run a business with a crew of 20 guys who hang drywall? NEXT." The educated female to educated male imbalance in places like NYC and Chicago has created a monster. There's an inverse of that monster in Seattle and Silicon Valley.
