We live in the warmest part of Texas. We're very rich in natural gas and many, many wind turbines. The moment we lost power 5 days ago, I knew it was BS. The media spread nothing but weasel words and lies starting with "15-30min rolling blackouts" -not 5 days. Nothing ever "rolled" our way, it was just out the whole time. We even lost water for a day. Texas is also unique in that we have our own independent power grid, and even supply to other states. Lots of local talk about generators not being winterized, and natgas well heads not being insulated -as if the results are that immediate in the supply chain. Meanwhile FEMA dispatches SIXTY generators for the entire state several days after the "outages".
Do our reps know that these are ACTS OF WAR ? Do we even have reps anymore ?
It’s been a tough day, and we’re grateful to you for being a Robinhood customer. In light of the extraordinary market conditions this week, we temporarily limited buying for certain securities this morning. Starting tomorrow, we plan to allow limited buys of these securities. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and may make adjustments as needed.
This was a temporary decision made to best continue serving you, and was not an easy one to make. We know it’s led to frustration and confusion, and wanted to provide some clarity.
As a brokerage firm, we have many financial requirements, including SEC net capital obligations and clearinghouse deposits. Some of these requirements fluctuate based on volatility in the markets and can be substantial in the current environment. These requirements exist to protect investors and the markets and we take our responsibilities to comply with them seriously, including through the measures we have taken today.
To be clear, this decision was not made on the direction of any market maker we route to or other market participants.
The past year in particular has shown us that the financial markets are for everyone—not just institutional investors and hedge funds. We’ve seen a new generation enter the market, and they’re sparking conversations about what it means to be an investor. We stand in support of you, our customers. Democratizing finance for all means giving more people access, not less.
We’ll keep monitoring market conditions and will update this Help Center article with the latest changes. We also published a blog post regarding today’s events.
Thank you again for being a Robinhood customer. We’re so grateful for your support.
Sincerely, The Robinhood Team
Think about it. We're engaged in modern warfare, and they've literally just attempted a check-mate move without firing (except for those staged-blame-it-on-them incidents) a single shot. Were we really that infiltrated ?

The last four years were merely educational insight into the political parlance of our times for many people. You now get to bear witness to [yet another] world-class psychopath corrupt at the highest levels known -this one putting himself on tv as the self-declared leader of the free world. These people think they own this country, own your asses, run the world, and there's nothing you can say or do about it. THIS is precisely how history books start chapters.
Naturally after this failure they will bring unrest as it's all they've got. I look forward to the lion party sinking its teeth into these laughing hyenas in 2021 and on. Just imagine an AG and investigation agency with ANY amount of balls after all this treason and "[deleted]" nonsense. There is no losing in sight. Only glory. And welcome to it.
The best card they had was to cheat egregiously and overturn to trump with the Media playing their war cries throughout to try and incite unrest. I keep wondering what happened to this part of the HR4310, if it was true, and why something hasn't been done about it yet?
