    Robinhood has just changed the rules - only allowing accounts to sell the likes of GME, AMC and not buy.

    So very true! And when you spread on a layer of mass connectivity wax and another layer of pandemic lock down nihilism wax (with plebeians locked in their homes with gov stimmy checks looking for a roulette wheel), we'll get a shiny new monster.

    Been on reddit for 11 years. Has gone way down hill since 2015. I still use the /r/coins4sale and /r/pmsforsale subreddits and a few other like WSB and /r/conspiracy and a few other 2a related.

    Robinhood opens almost all accounts as margin, unless you positively decline, so of course they shut down buying. Don't these suckers realize the big players will sell at the high and the millions of little guys will be holding a company that won't make a profit ever again, and they'll lose 50+ %. Pump and dump, the oldest securities scam in town. Now with the internet its become so easy to achieve.

    The rationale applied to cutting off avg Joes from buying a stock they want to buy is" The avg Joe doesn't understand, we need to protect this dotard from himself. This is a Zombie company not worth $20 a share"!

    Ok.

    Would that apply to SLV? The fundamentals both current and historical for Silver (available physical metal, industry, ratio) are well documented as severely out of whack. Not me saying this..many traders,analyst.

    As has been outlined in prev links...massive buying and holding of SLV would get very interesting.

    Yes, it's been a good way to sell leftovers from my auctions. The r/coins sub, though, is basically people posting W-mint quarters, brown "toners, and PMD coins thinking they are mint errors. (No offense meant, we all have to start somewhere, but not where I want to spend my time. I'd rather lurk specific coin forums as usual.)

    I've been reading about this entire situation and my initial (and persistent) thought has been, "Do you not realize that the rules will be changed once normal people start figuring out how to game them like the people who wrote them in the first place?" It's only inexperience that allows you to believe sticking it to billion-dollar hedge funds will result in anything but disappointment for most average people.

    I've also wondered a) who else stands to gain by manipulating these dying companies' stock prices (existing shareholders?) b) if this is an attempt to "crash the system" by those with more sinister intentions.

    Apparently this morning the ability to purchase further shares of GME, AMC and other companies has been either removed or significantly diminished, which has somehow surprised people whose plan was to continue buying in order to snowball the losses of those who shorted the stock.

    I bought 100 shares of gme this morning to cover my short from yesterday

    This breaks down Wall Street Bets plans to short the silver market.
    They believe the gold to silver ratio is really 8 to 1. You mine 8 ounces silver for every ounce of gold mined.

    There is no evidence that the Reddit crowd is looking at the silver market. SLV volume is heavy but in no way outsized. It was heavier in August.
    The bigger picture is that they will be looking for new conquest and hopefully the populist ray gun will be aimed at Silver.
    The next 6 months may be the same or much more interesting...who knows...but disruption has occurred and that always reverberates.

    (Bloomberg) -- Silver jumped for a second day as the market remains on high alert after a call by Reddit posters to create a short squeeze sparked sharp moves on Thursday.

    False. There are many posts that they are looking at the silver market on Reddit. Also, if you look up SLV on Stocktwits, you will note the dramatic message volume increase over the past week. There is no other reason why silver went up so much the past two days.

    I agree there is activity. I don't think the activity or focus is significant or sustained enough to really move spot ...
    The hope is that once the GME trades unwind then Silver will get a stronger look. But the silver market is a much different
    beast than a dead brick and mortar play and much harder to move. That being said, silver is neing talked bout, written about. We should all be overjoyed!

    Correct, 100%. I wasn't sure what you meant in that prior post. Silver is a very different beast with the heavy manipulation by the huge banks. It's not as hard to move a stock with a market cap < $1B lol

    If silver gets to $1000 (or even $100) who's going to buy it. No dealer is going to pay you $10k for your 10 oz bars because they know it will drop like a huge brick shortly.

    If silver gets to $1000 (or even $100) it is because someone is buying at that price. It's called price discovery.
