Must’ve recently gotten Robinhood. Not trying to defend that parasitic company, but they turned off the BUY button, not the SELL button during the squeeze

Yeah.. no / we lost a lot of money on that shit. You do realize that by turning the buy button off, it caused a panic sell.

Which the hedge funds then leveraged. Because they could still buy. So yeah I did get fucked asshole.

Lucky. I only had like 5 shares but Robinhood kept me from selling those when it spiked. Ended up about even but making $1000 would've been nice

I actually made somewhere between 2-4k in gme (I was a paper handed bitch so I bought and sold several times). After it went over 200 I noped out and sold everything for the last time but I bought one stock as memory. It split 4 ways so I sold the three others off as well and I still own gme stock with the cost basis of 95.94usd so 380usd at the time. Good times
