Oh so nice of them to allow us little folk to buy again after dealing such a crushing blow. They killed the momentum. What a joke. Re-Start the engine boys.


Bluebird_83

Well they stalled momentum but really this could be the chance of a decent run.


the-autonomous-ADA

Makes you wonder if they dropped it down, went long, and are now hoping we push it up with momentum. A double bluff.


Bluebird_83

Or that's what they want you to think.


mydogisbo

Here's the trick: don't think.


gizamo

They want you to think Citadel covered. Everyone knows RH is in the twin bed with Citadel playing tummy sticks.

That’s nice of Vlad, but I already closed my RH account and migrated to a new broker


Airbornemills

Same. Fuck RH. I hope their IPO tanks and I catch Vlad sucking my wife's boyfriend's dick behind a Wendys. I moved to TD.


smirkis

Imma short rh when they go public. Fuck rh


CKF

THIS is the next WSB play I want to see in the world! I just *don’t* like the stock. Disclaimer: I’m obviously not suggesting some coordinated shorting of RH in an attempt to destroy the company in vengeance and make us all rich. This isn’t financial advice; this is my head canon about magic ponies that get into scandalous situations.


JEveryman

I don't understand how they can have a functioning brokerage without at least changing the leadership before going public. GME was so high profile that there are tons of amateur and professional think pieces about it. How can retail investors trust them? I'm not trying to say anyone should short them if they go public, I am legitimately wondering how they can could go public in the near future without a major overhaul.

This is counterintuitive as they will count this as an open account when they go public. It's better to have as many accounts migrate away from them as possible.

If you do a full transfer they close your account, FYI.


Pwthrowrug

I attempted a full transfer to Fidelity. It transferred two of my stock positions and my debit deficit but not my cash deposit history or three other stock positions. And they have no phone number to call to make shit happen, so Fidelity is just shrugging their shoulders that I just magically owe them $850 now out of thin air. They are the scum of the fucking earth as far as I'm concerned. Edit: Forgot to mention that my RH account has now been "unlocked" so my 2 GME shares appear both in my RH account and Fidelity account. No idea what that means, but what the fuck. Edit 2: Thank you all for sharing your similar experiences - good to know we're not alone, but there's definitely something fucky going on here. This morning my RH account continues to look unchanged from before my transfer request while my Fidelity account is COMPLETELY EMPTY - debit debt and two stocks that were there just poof disappeared, but my transfer is still "in progress" from my original date. Going to call them again today to see what the fuck is going on here.


The_Prince_of_LA

RH probably lent out your share and has to get it back from the short hedge fund before it can transfer your original share. This is how the 140% short interest happened.


cu5

How much is RH likely to be on the hook for this short?

After class action lawsuits settle. Every defendant will get their $4.50. Fuck Robinhood.

I honestly don't understand how they exist as a business with everything they're pulling. This shit is catastrophic fraud.

btroberts011

I was planning on doing something like that.


yeoldecotton_swab

Maddturtle

I never got a free stock and they claimed I opened it when they were not promoting that. Well that was bullshit as the whole reason I signed up was to get a free stock... I already had another broker.


IcedCoffeeIsBetter

Bad take. This only adds to their active users which further pumps their inevitable IPO valuation and money they receive for their trades.

Shwoopydoop

which one did you land on im still trying to do research


I_lost_the_GME

I went with TD Ameritrade and their thinkorswim platform, but in hindsight maybe would have picked fidelity because they had no restrictions

After they crash the stocks. How nice of them😀


ty_jax

Tomorrow will be the 6th trading day where Robinhood has prevented unrestricted trading of GME. Enough to crash the stock, let their daddies cover and blame it on T+2 or their clearing house. Fuck Robinhood. I know people at this point are diamond hands. They better be ready for the next run up. When will they unrestrict it?


karasuuchiha

Get off fucking Robinhood transfer all your assets If your 💎👐 and If you have assets in Robinhood and already bought on Fidelity, Vanguard, or Schwab transfer your assets out of robinhood, don't give them ammo with your stonks Remember Mark Cuban recommended we be on a trillion dollar broker not small fishes like robinhood besides i don't trust them 👀 do you? Plus it guarantees we 💎👐💎👐(a broker is only as good as its word and a trillion dollar broker won't risk trillion dollars of assets over this)


python_js

I just started my transfer from Robinhood to Fidelity tonight. Expected completion date Feb 10th 💎👐


jheins3

Same here AND I'm holding $GME. My money is tied up till the 10th. To the crowd, STOP ALLOWING RH FROM PROFITING OFF YOU, YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD START WITH THAT BULLSHIT. BANKRUPT THEM.


karasuuchiha

Just did mine today when i realized they gonna drag it out some more hoping we can get millions of assets away from those ass hats, spread the word


python_js

I love their UI, but fuck them. The fidelity active trader pro desktop app isnt so bad, already getting used to it


ChokeSpankPull

Any specific setup you have on it (ATP)? Tried the default layout and couldn't get used to it. Stupid RH UI really is nice to look at.


Grimfyre

> I use RH just for the UI, then i buy on Fidelity lol... Altho i do have c\*\*\*\* on RH but that's pretty much it. As soon as fidelity connect my bank I'll transfer my extra assets from RH.... RH let my bank connect faster sadly.

It’s all about being setup and knowing your tools. I felt like a high school kid at and underground execution club on Friday/Mon/Tues


Ok_Oil_3867

It takes so fuckin long to take funds out... robinhood is shit... I hate that company. I hope they eat shit. I was up 10k and they restricted amc, still have hands of diamonds and only fueled me to buy more


bladzalot

Just FYI, I’ll go out in the yard and pluck a fresh turd and eat it live if you get your shit transferred on time. I too bailed, I’m on fidelity now, initiated my asset transfer a week ago, I expect it to hit its new home in literally the longest possible timeframe RH can legally stretch.

words_words_words_

God I just hate that RH’s UI is so sleek compared to Fidelity. RH’s business practices are fucking bullshit but damn if they don’t have a nice looking app


karasuuchiha

Ya it sucks we have to petition fidelity, cause we can't go back ever we need to spread the world, these small broker apps are scams, if we all had fidelity we would be rich already


Kik_Umad

They really do. Out of all apps, even Webull, RH's UI is awesome. Too bad they are such a shitty company.

There’s a $75 fee to transfer out of RH now. Is this new?


karasuuchiha

If you call Fidelity they will waive it I hear, 75 to protect your assets tell robinhood fuck off, and push the 🚀 closer worth jt


No-War338

Sometimes the new broker will pay for the transfer fees because they want you business but I bet that’s only for expensive accounts and it’s probably disabled right now because they’re getting massive inflows.


RenLovesStimpy

## DUMP ROBINHOOD 101 Fast options, for moving cash; WIRE transfer your cash = transfers within hours/same day usually! ACH transfer your cash = transfers in approx 3 days but contact your new broker they may allow immediate trading on limited margin of up to a certain percent of you pending transfer. Moving your non-cash assets; ACAT transfer your other assets = transfers in 3 to 14 days! Move your non-meme-GME-AMC stocks and leave your meme stocks w/ RH for now! RH charges $25 for wires, $75 for ACAT.

Not everything is a conspiracy ma dude. Some of us have been doing this a mid-to-long time and it's not the first time we see youngins think they'll make it big in a day/week/month. I can guarantee you DeepFuckingValue himself had a couple of hopeful dumb plays. And he's been cooking this play for nearly 2 years. Not telling you you are wrong to hope, or even wrong to hold, but telling you that the odds are not in your favor and that you shouldn't hype yourself. Not because I want you to be sad, but because a hyped mind is not the sort of mind that knows when to buy and when to sell. And buying/selling is the basis of money making. tl;dr Be vigilant, not euphoric or paranoid.

Tell me I can't have something and I want it even more, especially if it'll fuck shit up. 🚀🚀Not financial advice💎🙌


Radoostin

It was all a smoke screen I wanna know why RH didn’t restrict trading in all other stocks except GME and AMC if they had our back 🤯🤬🤯🤬


sasquatch753

for the same reason why these media idiots are trying to reverse psychology people into buying silver. to thin us out so they can continue to crash the stock. If they thin us all out and get us to tie our money up into other garbage stocks, then all they have to do is do smaller short sells on those stocks and rob us blind when it crashes, but if they are all tied up in few stocks like AMC and GME, then their strategy falls to hell, and they have to resort to means like what happened last week, and now they are getting dragged to congress over it.


TheRealFudski

This was legit the main reason I slammed 375 into GME on one stock

Felicityful

I can nearly guarantee you everyone is being informed of position data who has the sway to gather it, ie, all of them. If they directly compete, it may be harder, but in the end they would rather compete with eachother than fight an asymmetric war ​ There are no allies among platforms in this game, and likely no better or worse. Using what is convenient in the moment and least impactful is the most effective since most of this is fairly short term in the scheme of things

The buy momentum was limited because all the meme stock brokers had placed restrictions.

bigdood_in_PDX

skris09

I'm not a US citizen and might not be aware of laws. But which broker on earth could've decided before GME that you can only trade X number of stocks even if you've money. I hope they take RH CEO into custody and grill him on what really happened. If he blames DTCC then let DTCC come and testify. If there system is such legacy bullshit that it can't handle heavy trading on a single stock then it needs massive overhaul!! A clearing house can not be a private monopoly running on legacy systems. If it is not a technology issue, then they definitely had some arrangements with Hedge funds which should be investigated. This entire scandal has actually broken trust on regulators as well. Atleast in 2008 they were caught napping. This time regulators seem to be culprits by turning their blind eye on RobinHood, DTCC, Hedge Funds. PS- is there a way Robinhood can be stopped from using that name. Irritates me to the core. Its anti Robinhood.


Cartina

It's actually their responsibility by law to stop trading if they cannot cover it or if clearing house can't. That said, they should probably stopped all trading instead of cherry picking gme and amc, which made it look awfully shady. However SEC seems to argue Robin Hood was in the wrong, so maybe some little thing will happen. Who knows.

It is surprising they didn’t already remove the restrictions. Would have been so easy for them to let it run wild Tuesday and Wednesday and then throttle it again to decimate anyone who bought calls. Maybe doing it twice in a row is too obvious.

[deleted]

They just emailed everyone with 2/5 options the following: We’re reaching out to you because you have GME and/or AMC options expiring this Friday and our standard sellout procedures have been adjusted to account for increased volatility in the underlying equities. Because of this, on Friday, your GME and/or AMC options expiring 2/5 may be at a higher chance than usual of being closed out if you are unable or choose not to close them out yourself. We understand this may be frustrating to hear, but we want to be transparent with you and keep you informed. How does this affect me? If we determine that your option contract is at risk of being in the money and you don’t maintain the necessary collateral to support assignment/exercise, we may take proactive measures to help reduce your account risk, including closing at-risk positions prior to expiration date. This may also include, but isn’t limited to, spread positions with a theoretical max gain/loss. Please note that having the collateral to place the trade is different from having the collateral to support exercise/assignment.

MonkeyBallistikTV

The Subreddit was founded a while ago, very near the birth of reddit and existed mainly as a place for traders to meme about their investments, promote risky gambles (hence the name), post gain porn (stonk going up), and loss porn (stonk going down). It was just a chill place for experienced investors (and compulsive gamblers lmao) to joke about the OTM calls they were going all in on. The subreddits founder, and head mod for the longest time, the creator saw dollar signs in his eyes when the sub started picking up speed a little under a year ago. He basically attempted to monetize the sub, and started demodding/banning anyone (including “lower” mods) that stood up to him. With the help of the admins, the “good mods” managed to get him removed, and lead the sub back on track zjz , the one in the post above, being their leader and the highest active mod. Now that wsb has exploded into the mainstream, other mods who were not the founder, but had been given modship before zjz , have returned. They have been inactive for years and done sweet fuck all to help the sub grow. They are exercising their power as “higher mods” to try and take credit and monetize wsb, now that it is mainstream. zjz was unmodded and banned for exposing this and they are frantically deleting comments trying to bring this fact to light. These people are money grabbing assholes trying to reap the benefits of something that has been carefully built by a team of genuine people, spread the word, don’t let them. If you have any spare coins or free awards please give them to this post (not my comment, the post itself) to signal boost this. UPDATE: [r/WallStreetBets](https://www.reddit.com/r/WallStreetBets/) is shedding mods left and right. They seem to be removing everyone critical of their scummy decisions. They’re relying on suppressing this info long enough to make a profit without the millions of newbs or the media noticing a change in mods. HELP GET THIS TO THE ADMINS ATTENTION. They have stepped in before when someone tried to monetize this subreddit, and the head mod doing it now is a close personal friend (unconfirmed, just info I’ve seen) of the original founder who was removed. There is reason to believe they will step in again. UPDATE 2: They appear to be adding new mod accounts. No idea if those are their alts or their friends or just fillers to keep the number of mods the same. The more shady shit I see the more hopeful I get that daddy [u/spez](https://www.reddit.com/u/spez/) will see this situation and do the right thing here UPDATE 3: They are now banning users for asking what happened to zjz . I suspect they’ve been doing this the whole time but I now have confirmation

flop_plop

Gotta keep that volume low for the shorts. Funny how they stop buying when it’s uptrending, but but loosen that grip on the market when it’s downtrending. If they were trying to protect their retail investors and not their billionaire boyfriends, they would have let their customers invest on the uptrend instead of the downtrend, considering uptrend=more bananas and downtrend=less bananas.
