They named themselves Robin Hood and then shut off service when THIS GROUP teamed up to steal from the rich on the gamestop squeeze Edit: spelling

Schwab did this during yen carry trade crash. So nothing to see here. All brokers are here to F retail

Since the Schwab takeover of TD, I have been locked out of my account 3 different times for hours at the open, I never have that problem at IB. I'm ready to move my stuff and say F@ck Chuck.

I hated TD when they moved me from Datek, and then I grew to love them, hated Schwab when they acquired TD, and now I’m seeing some benefits in the order system. But I hate how long it take funds to clear.

THis. Robinhood screwed me on during the covid market interruptions but have been solid ever since. Other brokers have shut me out since - Schwab and Webull. Robinhood is actually my favorite broker nowadays as I like the options UI.

Schwab was also down when AAPL went from 192 to over 200 in early July. I could not get online to sell out of my trade.

Yo don't lump me in with those goof balls who saw the gamestop saga as a way to stick it to the rich. I just wanted to make money

Do you have a different reason for trading?

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to start a revolution either, just wanted to make a buck

Making a buck is now considered revolutionary

Same just front running the fomo for $. Dumb luck to stumble on the scenario the previous October and notice early on what was starting. In at 80 out at 350.

It doesn't matter what the goal was. Y'all saw that Wallstreet had shorted it too heavily and took advantage. People casing nice neighborhoods also like to steal from the rich without it being social commentary

Is called robin-hood not robin rich

u/MediocreDesigner88 Aug 17 '24

Yeah, I think that’s a somewhat overlooked irony that sticks with me more than any other aspect of that saga: millions of people downloaded an app called Robin Hood and orchestrated a squeeze.
