It turns your worldview upside down and makes you rethink sooo much. But at the same time, the other side is so much easier.

I understand the reality that the SEC will look into it...there will likely be "loopholes" closed.

I agree wild stock price manipulation is wrong and can cause harm to many.

I think the companies that were used and abused as part of the process can come up with ideas to "fix" it, rather than more regulations that have their own unintended consequences...and heck, different companies may come up with different fixes...some of them that do work..some that don't and more will be figured out.

I actually thought at some point in the last several months, the lightbulb would go off in 4tigs, and still think it might.

The SEC may already be involved - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:14:23

Is the SEC constitutional? - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:18:44

And what will be the likely result - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:18:13

Why wouldn't it simply be a punishment for not abiding by - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:19:19

Why should government take money from a company - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:21:03

If the company agreed to terms and rules, and then did not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:22:12

of course. in civil court, like has been presented already(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:32:39

And I agree with that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:35:36

the regulations were forced upon companies - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:28:14

And whether that should be changed is a worthy - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:28:59

How do you know - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:30:15

I never said it was wrong - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:32:09

re-read your OP - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:34:25

I think if they broke the law in an attempt to manipulate - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:37:03

I never said you wanted more regulation - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:44:14

That was meatball(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:45:47

I laid out clearly for you why your position is - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:46:44

My position is where we are today - reality - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:47:20

reailty today is big government - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:46:16

nice lay down(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:47:55

Yes, living in reality is certainly a buzzkill - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:49:30

"living in reality" - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:50:25

And then he votes for those that wish to continue - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:55:18

pickle nailed it - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:57:24

And I was there a few years ago - meatiger MU - 1/28 15:05:47

i hope it does - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 15:08:09

It takes one person he trusts - meatiger MU - 1/28 15:24:46

This (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 15:22:48

now you are accusing them of manipulating the market - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:40:00

And you totally passed over the part about breaking the law - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:43:14

It is breaking the regulation - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:44:53

And I never said I did - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:46:48

RE: And I never said I did - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:48:54

It is wrong - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:50:25

lol...nice turn(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:54:14

The OP hasn't changed - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:57:03

So if something was wrong and legal - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:57:57

why do you equate legality with morality? - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:47:43

Why does the SEC have to get involved - meatiger MU - 1/28 13:53:18

Both can rightly be involved, particularly if SEC rules - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:02:10

Why do you always revert to government(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:05:57

Because if they made agreements in how they would act - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:09:45

The SEC is a regulatory body - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:12:57

So you don't think regulatory bodies should have the ability - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:16:49

why do you want big government?(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:23:10

Who said I want big government? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:23:57

you did (nm) - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:49:55

you did (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:31:02

you are advocating for big government(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:26:37

I am advocating for following the rules and laws that may - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:28:22

right. so big government (nm) - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:50:21

even if they’re unconstitutional (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:32:03

yes - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:28:35

So if you don't like big goverment - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:29:55

there’s that straw man (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:32:33

No - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:31:10

no - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:30:52

I do if people agreed to abide by those regulations and then - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:33:07

abiding by regulations is not matter of agreeance!(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:36:36

he’s too arrogant to ever open himself up to understand (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:38:01

he doesn't even understand his own opinions - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:39:38

I understand some of you apparently don't want current - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:41:29

straw man (nm) - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:51:33

Another straw man (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:59:37

How is that a preposterous argument - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:43:45

because he has no basis for them - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:41:28

because he doesn't have any principles(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:45:02

It is if you register and agree to abide by them(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:37:44

no. goverment solely exists by force, not by consent (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:38:24

read the constitution (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:34:28

Please cite the article, section, and clause - pickle MU

- 1/28 14:20:02

I think we need to get rid of regulatory bodies - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:19:23

OK - that is your wish and desire - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:21:27

so big government when it punishes those you disagree with - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:53:04

Have you ever followed stuff like this - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:25:14

And what did I say in the OP? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:27:54

I asked how it should be addressed - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:29:00

Yes, and you went to my support of adding regulations - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:30:35

If you don't think it will likely lead to that - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:33:07

So you are holding me accountable for what others will do - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:34:13

In your own words - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:35:39

I am - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:38:21

you never said "IF" - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:42:37

What does it mean to address it? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:44:13

you proclaimed it to be wrong and dangerous - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:47:15

It is wrong to restrict access to those wanting to legally - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:48:35

Acess is not restricted - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:53:30

why is it wrong? Why are you against private business - MizzouAstro MU

- 1/28 14:52:46

lol, the real world laydown - 90Tiger STL - 1/28 14:24:47

Yes, some of us are caught up in the total buzzkill of - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 14:26:09

like abortion? - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:54:37

I'm not really a big gvmt guy, I just accept that big - 90Tiger STL - 1/28 15:06:38

and if we stick to the "real world" - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:26:01

Well I would rather see the SEC get involved instead of the - MU-TULSA MU - 1/28 14:01:58

who runs the SEC? (nm) - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:55:40

The SEC is run by DC politicians(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 14:06:22

Addressed by whom?(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 13:31:43

Whomever has oversight of Robinhood and their ability - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:35:45

“Whomever has oversight of Robinhood” is the one who did it - pickle MU

- 1/28 13:39:46

This is what happens when he has to think for himself - meatiger MU - 1/28 13:43:55

The market will probably take care of that. - meatiger MU - 1/28 13:38:38

Exactly - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:59:24

that's because you're a big government liberal (nm) - ashtray UF - 1/28 15:56:36
