With all the rumblings from disgruntled “professionals” at hedge funds, I wouldn’t be surprised to see regulatory crackdowns on retail traders in the very near future. It will be paraded as a “the market is too complicated, we can’t let people make their own risky decisions and lose money (and certainly not at the cost of elitist hedge funds).”
That will very quickly be followed (or in tandem more than likely) with crackdowns on retail trading social media like wallstreetbets. We will also likely see the Twitter/Facebook cabals silence retail traders to “avoid market manipulation.” Trading will be manipulated and halted to protect hedge funds from retail squeezers.
communities.win needs a wallstreetbets community ASAP.

Its already happening. I wasnt allowed to open a vertical spread on GME yesterday because of "unprecedented risk" or something.
Good point - I’ve been following for a bit and the stuff going on behind the scenes is infuriating.
