has anyone covering the Wall Street GME reaping and sowing gone into the fact that a lot of the GameStop and directly associated trades have been largely amplified by social listening powered mega firms doing machine learning automated trades because the “idea” of GME is popular?

dudes will literally buy $GME $AMC and $BB, until it bankrupts multiple hedge funds, instead of going to therapy

There is no shortage of takes about what's going on with Gamestop (and other surging stocks), Robinhood and Reddit's r/wallstreetbets, many of them contradictory - at least on the face of them. But I think it's possible for most of these takes to be right. Here's how. 1/

(running in exhausted) OK I'm here I have the take The actual story of Gamestonk isn't that Redditors figured out how to do financial mayhem It's that we're learning how to Do Reflexivity and just wait until this starts to happen to political campaigns alexdanco.com/2021/01/28/r-w

So @aoc is right to ask how it can be that Robinhood stopped its clients from buying certain securities. And what she'll find is that the reason is that Dodd-Frank requires brokers like RH to post collateral to cover their clients' trading risk pre-settlement.
