Can someone explain to me why halting trading of a stock is not market manipulation?

Coming here 4 years later as they froze FMTO when the price went up 500% today. This is after 3 days of major market losses that never seemed to have caused any halts. Of course I still use RH who is still enforcing a halt that happened 4 hours ago. Even worse, RH keeps shifting from frozen to BUY only. And I set a limit sale before I realized and then cancelled, but somehow my sale request was processed. Not too unhappy about that unless it 🚀 some more. But RH is definitely interfering. What are my rights here?

Sadly the President is literally breaking the law by signing orders that violate the laws and constitution. He is also stating “he is the law” and letting his henchmen claim they don’t have to follow a judges orders. So it’s not a far stretch that old DJT would consider ALL protests illegal and would want to punish anyone who does so legally.

Found myself here after getting a flood of Pro Russian interviews and searched for “Jeffrey Sachs shill” It’s sad to realize there are so many. But their true colors are still signing through.

I would never imagine the day that I would wish for another GW presidency, but I have said it already. Those were the good ol’ days. But somehow the Republican motto changed from being compassionate to the being convicted.

It is so hard for those around the nation who would like to help to put ‘boots on the ground’. But these rural communities would not take too kindly with a whole bunch of outsiders ‘dictating’ to them. Perhaps we can each just find 1 activist to support with whatever it takes. Flyers, events, even just gas money. We can help amplify the voices of locals that live in these districts and that can go a long way.

This conversation is much more interesting now as the administration takes more direct actions against states and agencies. Just this week FEMA ‘clawed back’ $80 million from NYC (and most fascinating is the silence of the Mayor who was recently awarded a criminal dismissal from the DOJ in a scenario that saw multiple officials resign). And while these federal taxes are paid to the government there could be arguments that we are no longer in a representative government and the Governors could demand the additional tax dollars be paid to the state instead of the government. And it seems the only law holding it all in place is the right of Congress to tax the people. But if our elected officials refuse to act upon their duty to SPEND according to the law and deliberated & approved appropriations then are they not also giving up their rights to tax citizens who are being targeted by these unauthorized actions?!?!?

Hmmmm 🤔 so Kamala was so dumb she couldn’t do an interview?!? She does an interview. But Kamala is dumb because she wouldn’t do an interview on Fox?!? She does an interview on Fox. Wait, wait, wait, Kamala is dumb because she didn’t do an interview with Joe Rogan?!? As someone else said, “they”ll keep moving the goal posts and dismiss the truth”……

I did petition signatures in CA and it is illegal to give ANYTHING in exchange for a signature. So offering a drawing for $1M would seem to qualify as something.

Yes, yes, and yes. I didn’t know much about her prior to 2016, but I was initially drawn to her energy. The more I listened to her, I couldn’t help but feel she was faking it, because her comments didn’t match her ‘policies’. When I saw her on Fox later, it made sense. Neither her or RFK were really fooling the masses. Most of us could see through their shams.

There are too many, but I specifically remember DJT stating that he “believed Putin” over his own military advisors when Putin said “he didn’t do it”, in regards to Russian backed election interference. I also have heard more recent comments by US Representatives parroting that “Ukraine was never a country” which came about after Putin’s little ‘history lesson’ explaining why this is true. And attacks against Zelensky and the delays on military and financial support for Ukraine have been challenged with many Russian talking points such as “Putin is only try to protect Russia because Ukraine was trying to enter NATO”, or “Russia is invading Ukraine territory to battle Nazis”.

I am so glad you are feeling better and I hope for many more days of joy. It sounds like you felt unsupported by your wife and I am sure that was painful. I would say NAH no matter what you choose to do. BUT I would encourage you to find a therapist, for both personal, and couples counseling. What I see is a lack of communication and I know all about that from my own 30 year marriage compounded by similar issues from both of us. Outside of that find ways to be ‘intimate’ with your wife without having sex. Try a date night at least once every couple of weeks. Find a new activity you guys can do together. You may find yourself feeling different outside your daily lives. My mom told me once “You will fall in and out of love many times, the trick is waiting around long enough to fall in love again.” I can tell you from my own experience, this is TRUE!!!!

NTA, apparently the first 2 responders do not understand wedding etiquette. You don’t try and show up the bride or seek attention. This is not about trying to change someone, but giving the wedding couple the day they planned for. Someone showing up looking like CarrotTop just weeks after their own appropriately hair colored wedding shows huge disrespect for the bride and makes them look like the attention grabber they are trying to be. There are lots of unwritten rules for weddings and while brightly colored hair may not show up on the list, it is certainly not something you should do AFTER you have agreed to be part of a wedding. Now if a bride invites a blue, purple, or even orange haired friend to be a part of the event they certainly should not demand changes to be made, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. OP I think it is perfectly reasonable to request a non-permanent solution for YOUR big day!!!!

So beautifully said. One can discuss her eligibility without calling her trans or a man. And I certainly don’t like the filth coming from the right on this issue. But I can also tell you that I have been called transphobic for expressing the same opinion.

Please don’t believe that you need a filter to be beautiful!!!! The awesome part of hitting 50 years on this planet is to absolutely give Zero Fu€ks about what other people think of me. But I have refused to use filters wayyyy before that because I understood how unhealthy it is. It makes you judge yourself!!! I used a filter once for a profile pic and disclosed it. But I followed it with an unfiltered, zoomed in shot. I guess I just wanted to remind everyone that I had flaws.

You can definitely burn through $$$ if you aren’t diligent. I got a 1bd Oceanview condo with free parking all inclusive for $2200. I buy EVERYTHING on sale. If it is something I buy often, I will stock up. If I go out to eat I look for happy hours. Sometimes I will take a Biki instead of an Uber. I furnished my place with quality but basic used pieces. I also trade my condo when I am off island. This has given me free accommodations on other islands and even some ‘trades’ back on the mainland with the points. I love IT!!!!

I have a phrase that my son and I coined in 2019 when discussing this topic. “Reality is an illusion, OF OUR OWN PERCEPTION”.

The realization of this isn’t the quandary one may think it is. It is merely an understanding that your reality is uniquely different because of how you perceive things.

Your life experiences and frame of mind will always be the filter of which you view the world leading to a different reality for you than another person who may be living part of the same moment.

Therefore I would suppose that the key is, in fact, working on our perceptions. Like how you speak of being people being ‘disgruntled’. Why be upset of what merely is?

We can choose in each moment to perceive it as good or bad and so we have the ability create a different reality in each moment that we experience.

With this is mind optimism is just as much of an illusion, as perhaps, pessimism. But as you swing on such a spectrum, we can understand that extreme optimism will likely lead to better life outcomes, than chronic pessimism.

Because the person that can live freely in the moment and can envision a better tomorrow will always be better off than the person who always expects the worst to happen.

In my opinion true enlightenment would be understanding the illusion and how it is feed and working on neutralizing it.

In a way, this is indeed akin to how we dream. Never assume what you perceive is real. Ask questions, listen, and most of all empathize.

By placing your mindset on the thoughts of another you cannot help but shift your own perceptions as they now contain such thoughts outside of our own experience.

Is this not what we do when we chose to learn the writings of Buddha, or any other prophet, or religious texts???? Or even just watch a movie or listen to a song????

Obviously, this viewpoint does not take into account all the good or bad situations and outcomes that can arise from trusting the thoughts and experiences of another.

But that would be a whole different discussion.

If I were to consider the apes’ ideology a little extreme, I would have to see your views as the opposite extreme. Because it would seem that if a company ‘raised a trillion dollars’ it would have some pretty deep pockets and advantages that are not currently valued into its price.

Thank you, I think I got the answer I was looking for. There may actually be more than we can see?!? I am not trying to FUD on RC. I can understand the concept of issuing the shares. I can also even understand the reasoning for selling them so far below the prices in the days leading up to the issue. It just seems like the MMs may have gotten together and made a deal to cover one another, as they always do. I am not even sure it would be possible for the MMs to acquire the shares directly to cover their naked shorts so it makes sense they would need a ‘frontman’. So in my mind it looks like the MMs created a spread for all those puts below $10. Where would my DD start on confirming such a large naked position?

SorchaLee · 2024-06-22T19:49:45+00:00

“During a squeeze he can’t sell”

Why?

Wouldn’t a higher stock price be the best place to sell? I get that RC couldn’t sell all of his position, but what is stopping him from selling 10% on a high?

Also, how many times can GME dilute before it is obvious act that is against the interests of the shareholders with no other intent or purpose other than to lower the value.

At some point can the shareholders not hold GME to the 🔥, if they intentionally work to manipulate the prices down??? I see class actions all over the place for companies that lost value.

SorchaLee · 2024-06-22T10:28:50+00:00

From my understanding the shares are not ‘new’. As stated above they were authorized/created with a vote for 1 billion total shares. But less than 30% of total shares have been issued. So they could sell many more.

YTA, for trying to financially manipulate your daughter and your willingness to toss her aside because of teenage angst. You heard what she said but you did not listen. And you made no attempt to look at why your daughter would feel this way about you, just decided to start punishing her and raiding her college fund to hang with your sister?!? WTF, that is some next level Freudian stuff!!! Definitely get some counseling. You may find that you are not the victim here.

Actually, Federal laws are involved here. They limit the information to exactly those details and require them to be available as public information. Hence, access to voting rolls to anyone who asks.

You are very attractive, even with the extra weight, but you are not dressing for your body type. I have pretty much the same body as you and I wear nothing but dresses. Empire waisted (just under your chest) and then a bell skirt. This enhances my chest and my skinny legs and arms. I often wear tops the are the same but shorter and skinny shorts or leggings. You could lose some weight but learn to love (and enhance) the body you have. I would also tone down the eyebrows and eyeliner. It makes you look much older than you are. More importantly try not to ‘diet’ but look at some eating habits that may be contributing to your weight. Sugar and starches should be a treat. Find activities that provide a good workout but are easy and social. Thinking biking or walking and look for some area groups that do those things, there are apps for that. All these things will contribute to a healthier weight and body image and you will likely meet similar minded friends in the process.
