      The stock market is "rigged" against individual investors in the same way professional baseball is "rigged" against beer-league softball players. The pros have vastly more information, experience, resources, and skill, so they're much better. Happily, there are index funds.https://twitter.com/byclairew/status/1357057877492576257 …

      By a wide margin, people believe that the stock market is rigged against individual investors, according to the poll. Note the vote and party breakdowns: It's more Biden/Democrats than Trump voters (although they still largely believe it) pic.twitter.com/hJlxoLcdwN

      Do you know of a Wall St winning trade that was halted because the architecture couldn’t handle it? Do you know of a Trade where Wall St was going to wipe out retail and all of the media started talking about how it would destroy the system and Wall St was acting recklessly?

      Yes, hedge funds get stopped out of trades because of margin requirements *all the time*. Have you heard of 2008? Absolutely rampant then. Similar story in 1987, 1998, 2011, 2018, 2020. You just didn’t notice because it didn’t make the news.

      Ok. That’s kinda my point. I’ve not heard of it. But I’ve also not heard the media come out and defend retail or the system when retail is getting crushed on a trade, nor heard them suggest that Wall St was being reckless for doing so.

      Where are the examples of retail getting crushed on a trade? I’m not saying crowding and squeezes don’t happen, but when it does happen it’s generally big institutional players scrapping with each other in markets that retail don’t touch eg credit indices in 2012 (London whale)

      You definitely get stuff like 2008 where poor risk management on Wall St combines with big systemic issues and spills over into the real economy. That’s very bad and we should (and do) regulate against it. But hedge funds trying to manipulate markets or engineer short squeezes...

          ...on retail? Doesn’t really happen. Mostly because retail is almost never in these kinds of leveraged trades!

          Thanks. Do you know of anyone who had modelled where the price on GME was likely to close EOD on Thursday if this doesn’t happen? Ditto Friday? This “intervention” killed the momentum. I day traded it - the longer it went, the clearer it was that something was going to give
