That’s not what pump and dump is. In a pump and dump, people are lying about the merits of the stock with the purpose of driving up the price so that they can sell it. Here, the point was to drive up the price of the stock, not to sell it, and not through lies, but to specifically fight a hedgefund that was trying to…

The Citadel connection is one of the deeper trenches of this whole fiasco that I think will end up being focused on a lot more as the situation develops. I really hope that this ends up being used by Elizabeth Warren as a way to show that stock shorts are too volatile and gets them banned. Sucks in the short term for…

Unfortunately, your meager $250 profit will be subject to short-term capital gains tax, so your net profit is probably half that. Obviously, you said you did it for the thrill, but there has to be cheaper thrills to be had.

Also, Robinhood has been revealed not to be the ones executing the trades themselves. They sell…

I’m right here with you!

You think this is a slam dunk, wait until you see the inevitable suit over AMC, BB, NOK and the others where instead of halting trading they’ve issued a one-sided halt.

That’s right! On all Citadel-backed trading services (including Robinhood) you may only sell those stocks. You may not buy them. This is blatant market…

The bulk of Sandman focuses on Dream’s search for three of his sacred items—a helm, a gem, and a pouch full of dreaming sand—he used to focus his powers before they were stolen from him as part of his imprisonment.

. But I don’t think it’s a tragedy, or even a problem, if a student is annoyed or baffled by a book. It’s not an English teacher’s job to make students love reading; an English teacher’s job is to equip students to read and communicate.

“We have been adjusting our requirements for several days as we continued to see trends indicating unusual volume in an unprecedented market environment, which appear to be divorced from traditional market fundamentals,” a spokesperson said via email.

I...I think I’m a book person. I love my books. I take pictures & post them of my #TBR bedside cairns when I’m happy that I’ve made a huge purchase. I save up money to go on book buying sprees. I have 7 book shelves in my basement that are double-stacked.

I see Wall Street is switching to Calvinball rules again.

For me, ‘Never fuck someone who doesn’t own books’ is a shorthand, colloquial way of saying ‘Never fuck someone who lacks curiosity about the world’. But I also feel discombobulated when I’m at someone’s house and they have no books.

Yeah, I think a lot of these people have misdirected anger. Their English teachers failed them, not the novelist.

I have to disagree with that. I think it’s definitely an indicator of compatibility in a partner. I would also argue that it can also be a really good indicator of someone’s intellectual curiosity which is also something I value very highly in a partner. Sure, never say never and of course people can express their…

The big money funds buys Robinhood data to use high frequency trading to exploit retail investors.

Where are Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy when you need them?

That book annoyed the hell out of me in high school. I remember wondering, why doesn’t Hester just leave this dumbass town if they all think she’s a whore? Why doesn’t Dimmesdale just tell everyone he’s Pearl’s father?
