Yup, just look at the way IPOs is handled. Wall Street is telling folks that it is ok for you to lose all your money by buying stocks, options, and taking out margins but you need to have enough money in the bank or be a selected group of clients to buy IPOs because we don’t want you to lose all your money. Many of these IPOs will run up hundreds percent until lockup periods when institutions take their profits.

The New York Times attacking retail investors...

Maybe they have changed their tune.

So now they are buying up silver. This is a bit different tho In that the silver has an actual physical component. I'm guessing mining will have to increase but at some point is a finite resource which will get more expensive to mine right?

Curious to see what happens there

There's speculation on the sub that the push for silver is from hedge fund plants.
 
RH isn’t alone in this though. I am pretty sure Ameritrade did the same thing. Likely others as well. They should all be punished for locking out the retail investors.

I think so too. Not sure why but I went down a wormhole to look up the physical value of gold. One of those big gold bricks that you sometimes see in movies. If it were 99.9% refined gold, each of those 370 oz bars is like 420,000 dollars.

I know that TDA did lock out transactions of certain stocks (GME, AMC, etc). on and off for a few hours one morning last week, I thought they said it was a volume issue with Nasdaq, but I think that ended that day. Account access (login) was also interrupted.

But since then they don’t have any share or “sell only” restrictions like RH. They just have restrictions on credit-based transactions (margin buying, certain options trades, etc). But otherwise you can buy/sell as many shares as you want and basic/long call and put options are available.
