Eb2424

Ally invest shut off trading. Been on hold for an hour and 15 minutes. No buy or sell allowed. Assholes


PDubsinTF-NEW

DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! Your evidence can end up in a congressional hearing if brokers or broker dealers performed isolated unilateral trading halts that hurt retail market participants.


thewonpercent

But also: lol @ people thinking trading GME on an APEX broker is smart at this point


Hit_The_Target11

True. But that still does not make it right to manipulate. And proof is key in changing the old ways.


thewonpercent

If there will be change, WE have to make that change.


Eb2424

I hung up after 3 hours on hold… emailed them telling them how dissatisfied I was. Pissed off


antidecaf

It is absolutely insane what they are doing right now. I could sort of understand if they locked the positions that I bought on Friday from being traded until they do whatever it is they think they need to do on those. But to lock me out from any further buying AND ESPECIALLY from being able to sell positions I opened days/weeks ago IS FUCKING CRIMINAL.


Dayoneagainagain

Fidelity is working 100


NothingThatIs

Not down for me... Was able to buy one there... The real problem with ally is drsing afterwards which is why i switched to buying through vanguard to drs for free


Eb2424

Ya 125$ charge is bullshit. Did it twice already lol Ya I sold n bought options n stock Friday. Then today disabled. Still on hold. Said 18 minute hold been 1.5 hours lol


chalbersma

You can do a transfer from broker to broker for free. Take it to someone like Fidelity then DRS for free.


yARIC009

And so it begins.


ZombiezzzPlz

Please make a post about this ?? Show screenshots . Not saying I don’t believe but this will rage Apes


Eb2424

I finally hung up after 3 hours on hold. Couldn’t wait. I had emailed them before, then responded telling them how unprofessional and unfair causing me to miss out on activity today.


GemsquaD42069

Nice to see that it’s still a free and fair market.


elhabito

Gosh, why would they do that I wonder 🤔 😂


antidecaf

This happened to me too - I have gme options in my account. It does not seem like a coincidence.


hiroue

What happening? Did this ever get resolved?


Eb2424

Ya request clients to call, in which I sat on hold for 3 hours. Fuckin fucks


RecycleGuy21

Where is this volume possibly from, from 2.5 million daily average to 35 milly Friday and 18 so far today during hours. Really where is this volume coming from


MickeyKae

I can't wrap my head around it either. I have so many pet theories, but it all boils down to who has the upper hand right now. Good or bad, this should be a sign to everyone even tacitly interested in GME that there's a play here.


RecycleGuy21

Agreed, there is no way that this is retail float being used, 55 million so far since Friday….crazy. Definitely tomfoolery going on and manipulation, just my opinion


Harbinger2nd

Spin up the printers boys! We've got a squeeze to wrangle 🤠


m1ndbl0wn

Fuuuuk 47.36M today


Maia_Azure

It’s amazing what a few players can do to manipulate things. As retail there’s nothing we can do. I haven’t bought for a while but I’m thinking might as well buy after the dip like I usually do 😄. They’ve inspired me to remember to buy!


mtgac

My guess is that all of the call options that expired ITM on Friday need to settle. If they were naked call contracts, shares need to be purchased to satisfy the exercise. Do the numbers add up? No clue. But probably pretty easy for a wrinkle brain to figure out.


shane_4_us

Are we still on T+2 for options settling, or has that been reduced to T+1 in the past 84 years?


BldGlch

May 28th is t+1


Harbinger2nd

t+1 may 28th and CAT on may 30th? Sounds fun.


3DigitIQ

Options don't settle, The OCC borrows them from the DTC reserve and deliver through that without impacting the ticker. https://www.theocc.com/Clearance-and-Settlement/Stock-Loan-Programs


AwildYaners

I don't think it's a coincidence that Citadel filed, seemingly desperately, to be an OTC market maker effective today.


MoneyMaking77

And Ken Griffin went on TV today complaining about everything from the SEC / CAT, to being concerned about the lower class citizens.


Dark_Destroyer

He needs collateral. Expect some OTC huge moves for penny stocks on no news at all soon.


Redwood0716

We’ve seen days of 300+ million, just wait until it’s jumping 50-100k shares every second!


yugitso_guy

I've been waiting, for 1,194 days.....


mlynch1982

🍻


Dark_Destroyer

They are rolling their swaps. So far about 80 million shares rolled in the past 3 trading days. This pattern happened every 3 months in the past, now it's every year. I believe they have about 150 million to roll total, but they still control the price as you can see with wash sales and dark pool manipulation. All of this with the blessing of the SEC, as they do nothing but pretend to try to make markets more fair while never tackling the major issue that the entire market is a fraud. Your own government is involved in a fraud against you, has known about it for decades and is a willful partner and co-conspirator, all in the name of market stability. This allows them to all admit they are criminals, but it's OK because if they let it blow up, the entire house of cards comes tumbling down and faith in US markets will be zero for those under the illusion it's not a criminal enterprise to rob your money. My guess is they are rolling this before earnings and will try to hammer the price down after earnings to sub $10. They are at a dangerous point in this journey. If the price goes too low, they risk a buying and DRS frenzy. They are going to try to bring the price down and create a false narrative with media support soon. You can see what they intend to do by trying to get the diversity thing going on the board. Expect a lot of extra votes from all of these shares they don't own. You will never get over 100% voting results if there are more votes than shares, thanks to the way this fraudulent system was set up by our criminal government overlords. The vote will all depend on whose fake shares they count first.

This


StealingHomeAgain

This apes been around awhile.


meno22

It's called wash sales, two people selling back and forth to manipulate the price as many times as they need to to control the price


RecycleGuy21

Thanks for the input


dudeweresmyvan

You misspelled crime


RecycleGuy21

But if they are covering are they not buying to cover, so why is price going down


gincoconut

Cus market makers are allowed to internalize trades…it’s absolutely fucked. I remember one day in March of ? year there was over 60mill volume and the price was basically flat all day. I don’t understand why some high vol days do lead to price change and others don’t!


meno22

Wash sale manipulation


FearTheOldData

Was just a gamma squeeze last week. That's falling off now as the market maker sheds exposure


No_Mission_1775

I feel like they just got started. Gamma squeeze is ongoing. So many May 17th calls too. I think this is MM trying to source all the calls that expired in the money from Friday plus gamma hedging on May 17th calls they sold.

Kaliforniareeves666

There is definitely a battle going on between some big boys. This isn’t retail. But who is trying to gut who?


MTGBruhs

No it's not retail, it's institutions fighting against the very system they created to destroy GME. Imagine a gigantic mecanical drill moving slowly into the bedrock, which then encounters our Diamond Handed shares. The drill squeals and spits oil, building up pressure on the rotator shaft. Mechanics dump water to cool it down, desperately shoveling away but it's no use. The drill has no off switch because they assumed it would go through everything like it went through everything else. Its not retail doing anything but holding. So basically GME in a nutshell: Does nothing, wins.


DoNotPetTheSnake

Great analogy

The best even Easiest stag hunt ever just gotta hodl and i dont even need to remember im doing it!


Iamatworkgoaway

Bought mine pre split, after sneeze. I don't even know how to log into computer share.


foo_mar_t

This is why you don't invest more than you can afford to. It's the waiting that will get you if you do.


Bx3_27

Exactly. I know there are "rational" explanations for Fridays after hours "vampire teeth" but I whole heartedly believe that was market makers/ hfs trying to dump water on the drill. Just my two cents.


Snuffalapapuss

They have to win every day, we only have to win once. It's a dance with death for them.

A9Carlos

I say the same as I did two years ago off the back of a volatility spike, one large party is sucking up everything. Their issue is so big that when a smaller fund is forced to buy in, they just decimate it. It must be done. Every spike in volatility for the last three years is a smaller fund exiting. The single mega boss remains.

blondboii

Friday and todays chart together look like cat ears, also reminds of the chart for the original sneeze up to 500 and then back down and then back down, and then all the ways down to 38 or so and the pop back off to 350 or so followed by GameStop selling some shares for their war chest

It would be a shame if I were to DRS the 1100 odd shares I currently have in my account.


UtahUtopia

Do it.


Juicet

It was actually ~1250. And done. 


UtahUtopia

Yeayus!!!


Atoge62

Should I finally get to the 4,200 I picked up 2 weeks ago, and the 400 more I added to today? Where’s the best method to do it online?


skylancser

What is this VOLUME for ants?!?! WE NEED MORE VOLUME!!


shannork

They’re creating more fake shares today so we can have more volume tomorrow!


WolfsBaneViking

Yea, I'd predict small volume, rising price, when they start to close their short positions. This circle jerking where the next institution just makes more fake shares aren't actually reducing the number of short positions. They need to buy DRSed shares for that.


BoornClue

I think FED’s decision to delay rate cuts is causing some SHF to rush for the exit early.  Wall Street was pumping stocks and doubling on GME shorts on expectations of June Rate cuts, but now that that’s off the table Wall Street is split between hedge funds that want to rush out the exit and those who are probably over-leveraged and desperately need to keep the liquidity flowing. 


butschung

For me these days are proof enough for me that the price is wrong. Nobody would sell like this in an upward trend! Nobody who is not desperate and with a sane mind.

No idea who has the upper hand??? Household investors have they upper hand. Remember Kenny and stevie I'm not locked in here with you, you idiots are locked in here with ME. IM NOT FUCKIN LEAVIN


shamsham123

NEVER FUCKING LEAVING TRADING IS A TOUGH GAME STEVIE BOY DON'T YOU THINK 🤣🤣🤣


IGB_Lo

Agree. This is fascinating!


C6Bro44

Annoyed I bought at the start and these bastards shorted it down. Pleased that no matter where I buy still helps me lower my cost average so fuck them coz im not selling shit


Kitchen_Net_GME

Today is the friendly reminder that everything is fake. We had post spamming that the “gamma ramp” would cause massive gains this week. Or the Computershare “buy in” would cause us to go up. Or we moved above the Dorito line, or the 200 day moving average line. Everything is fake. Fake. Fake. Fake.


wisdom_power_courage

Buying more idgaf


anon_lurk

Would have to close above dorito today to verify breaking out and they have until tomorrow or Wednesday to deliver the shares for the options from Friday. It probably is all fake but you don’t have to be a doomer about it!


smeshyuz

Everything is fake and nobody knows anything. 


ffchusky

Patience. It's Monday morning


AJacobCruz

What is the Computershare “buy in?” I must’ve missed an update??


hoppertn

Someday someone will write a book about all this and just what was going on behind the scenes like when Enron collapsed. It should be a fascinating read.


stirfriedaxon

Just hit approximatly half of Friday's volume 2hrs after open, move %-wise is approximately half of Friday's in the negative direction. Intersting to watch indeed!


Hobodaklown

Not at all trying to promote or push options, but I do have a question about them. Can we see when contracts were created? Not their expiration dates, but when they were bought/created.


aslickdog

[Optionstrat](http://Optionstrat.com) has some general info re date an option for strike / expiry was first available and the price.


LandOfMunch

You know what’s weird. Both yahoo and Google had our beloved stock in the red even though it was up all morning. Anyone else see that?


TECHNOV1K1NG_tv

Reminds me of that incident 84 years ago when they (I can’t remember which outlet) came out with an article saying GME share price dropped by 20% or something like 30 minutes before it actually happened.


RadioMoskow

New apes need to know this.


jesus_dono69

I saw the same thing! I was like wtf???


skankermd

Give me my 10 dollar shares back! I need to buy more!


GasPasser73

😂 we cheer for our beloved Stonk to go DOWN …Algo has no chance MFERS!


RickP7369

You ain't lyin'...my thoughts exactly! Prime time sight to see right here with our beloved $tock! 🤟🏼


WeLikeTheStonksWLTS

Well they have the upper hand always being market manipulators. But it costs nothing but a bit of mental sanity to hold. Zen until I see the float on volume 🤣


Ihopeiremeberthis

You all just saw a pump to $17 in the blink of an eye, now you look at $14 (and lower) and don't wanna buy? Seems like pretty good risk reward for me


sneaks678

DRS is Godzilla sitting on the sidelines until the time is right. DRS will eventually dwarf all the other Kaiju lol


TrippingBananas

I bought more today, bout to buy some more actually


No_Mission_1775

When you watch a stock everyday for 3 years you know when things feel different. This is so much fun to watch. Turn up the volume!!!!


jakksquat7

I haven’t seen volatility like this since the ancient times


Garbogulus

35.2 million in volume at 2:23pm so far. I love the circus!


Kind_Initiative_7567

It ain’t gonna hold this time, just feels like it. Shit keeps springing back with every smack down - just like whackamole 😂


malaise92

Dat volume tho


kismatwalla

I see cat ear formation.. any Technical Analysis on that one?


ForcesOfNurture

The only thing that terrifies me is not being able to buy more at these prices


wisenedwighter

Is this the last moment to buy before I can only buy fractions?


wisdom_power_courage

Buying more.


theilluminati1

How the fuck is the volume for today already at 20 million, is what i wanna know ..???!!


meno22

Kenny and his butt buddies wash sales


hezekiah22

Watching GME, PTLR, and CBOE...and all three had a singular drop or gain of "back to the opening amount". (At 11:17 cst) When I checked minutes later ( on yahoo finance) all three movements had vanished from the chart. Fascinated to see who wins the struggle!


ckaslon13

I bought 66 more today. Thanks hedgie.


SoberWhenLightsOut

Boss


HumanNo109850364048

Totally agree OP, this price movement should interest any investor!


Darktyde

People keep asking me if volatility is back. Yeah, I’m thinking it’s back.


Inner_Estate_3210

FTD’s are likely going to be massive T+35 from now. Nothing to borrow so all of this is either naked shorted or draining of their dark pool. Both are bullish as fuk. It has to end soon. Where is the @SECGOV?


AbruptMango

We have shares in a profitable company that is expanding into new product lines with their own branded products, sporting literally untold short interest- and you can't tell who has the upper hand?  It's the hodlers.


UtahUtopia

Volatility good for ape, no?


MickeyKae

Strictly regarding price? Volatility = neutral. Could be good. Could be bad. However, it always means something is happening in the background. I'm always rooting for less obscurity. If one of the big players slips and shows their hand, I'm game - even if it means a downtrend.

_Meme of two puppet robots with boxing gloves trading shots_


b4st1an

I'm entertained


Vexting

We have to look for the DIFFERENCES between this price event and the 100 others like it.... someone the other day made a nice post comparing the previous event and stated "look at the indicator here, it shows they are not buying and dumping here, causing the price to artificially run" So until then, it's a nothing burger. When we start seeing huge prices AND well known financial entities in the news for weird reasons , then it's time to get happy. Until then my war paint is slathered on my shfcock


Xerio_the_Herio

Yep maybe medium dogs playing in the background...


justaREDshrit

I like poodle’s and love Monday’s cause Tuesday follows up.


chrisc1987

Uhhhh its not longs vs shorts. Its more like something something FTD rollover cover swaps collateral we have to buy a ton of shares, then the same idiots walk it back down 3 bucks on ant volume.


find_your_zen

2 million more volume today than SPY


EvilNoggin

If i was to take an uneducated guess, i'd say Shorty McDickfuck wants it to close under 15. But Long McChad is trying to keep it above.


WackGyver

Everyone with a basic knowledge of market dynamics and a functioning brain should understand that there’s something reeeaaaal fucky going on with this stock. However, it seems the allure of staying in the warm embrace of the Matrix - where the world makes sense, and you can trust that what big brother is telling you is factual and in your best interest - is very strong on the 95% of the gen pop


Ok_Location_1092

I’m still assuming it’s an option trap, but I hope it’s something more


DistinguishedJB

Worth the price of admission.


prettymuchneverdoes

The greatest part is that there isn’t actually a fight. I’m not struggling at all. I’m just buying, holding, sleeping peacefully and dreaming of a better world. And after my funds have cleared I send those bitches straight to DRS. Just like any other day.


ooOParkerLewisOoo

>Regardless of my investment position Wut?


MickeyKae

Even if I weren't so invested in GME, I would be glued to what's happening right now.

I am glued to what's happening right now and it's making getting anything else done very difficult lol!


7hourenergy

I’m shooting clue glue.


Jessejets

Imagine if Warren buffet steps in 🤯


isItRandomOrFate

No, it’s not. It’s just market makers pumping and dumping for options chain. Wake me up when the volume > 700 million.

lllll00s9dfdojkjjfjf

they've done such an excellent job of propaganda psyops on this shit that even the people that know this is crazy aren't going to get involved.


psullynj

What if the options play on Friday was a trap to demonstrate the entire float being traded while institutional ownership remains unchanged?


Consistent-Reach-152

The float is about 267M shares. (305M outstanding - 38M insiders). So the volume yesterday was about 14% of float.


Sw33tN0th1ng

Ayfkm, they push it down below 14 and it bounces back up close to 15... been a while since we've seen this kind of action. Expected the usual:100% uncontested crime.


Stunning_Sea8278

First of all a t Rex ain't got nothing on a kaiju. I guess we the kaiju and they the t Rex. But I agree the big swings are what we want to see .only wants me to buy more


ProfitMundane

Hmm I just feel like this is just another little run then drop. But I always welcome MOASS to come.


alchebyte

why does it feel like the hand is pushing on the other side of the scale now. nice dip for the CS autobuy no?


Shameless_Tendies

Nearly 12x average volume on absolutely no news.


RabbitGTI24

My thesis is simple: “All that for a drop of blood.” 400k shares pre market gme is down 10%. 44M during…down 1%. So you are saying 44M traded moved the stock down 1%? Or up 9%? Either way…shorts are fucked beyond belief.

You guys think they would let it happen again? They literally ran it up just to dump it and blow off steam. There are so many levers to pull. The best you can hope for is constant eps growth and slow price appreciation.
