I'm 25, which means that back in the good old days around 2015 when my persona shined through on this forum in such lovable, professional ways I was about 8.

Texas utilities, including ERCOT, are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas. Their effectiveness at regulating is up for interpretation, but to suggest that ERCOT along with Texas telecomms and utilities are not heavily regulated is asinine. Rick Perry certainly did his best to remov...

Well if we take a look at some empirical evidence, you have 49 states, most of which deal with much worse than Texas just did every year, that didn't have power fluctuations, didn't see any grid outages and only small grid weaknesses in far colder conditions, and didn't risk the collapse of basic ci...

There was a colder weak polar vortex event in 1899, so this event had precedence in Texas even if it is unusual. Under strong -AO, a meteorologist would expect a weak polar vortex and perhaps a cold dam in February of all times. A month following a sudden stratospheric warming we expect cold outbrea...

I deleted suspicious links, and those posts that quoted them. Carry on.

The fact that people are actually saying that all these hedge fund managers are held accountable for breaking the rules like a month after worst-person-on-Earth Steve Cohen bought a baseball team in New York City and was cheered on as the rich guy here to save the day is just laughable.

but if 10 hedge fund managers sat together in a ritzy hotel lobby drinking obscenely expensive scotch and agreed to pump and dump a stock and agreed on profit targets, is that market manipulation? Yes. That's....that's actually a textbook example of market manipulation. That’s right, it technically...

Hedges never manipulate the market, oh no. I don’t know the regulations around market manipulation, but if 10 hedge fund managers sat together in a ritzy hotel lobby drinking obscenely expensive scotch and agreed to pump and dump a stock and agreed on profit targets, is that market manipulation? If ...

I thought these were "hedge" funds. Surely they would have hedged their shorts with call options? I am not a fan of what is happening here. Yes, there will be some "ordinary" people that make out like bandits...and some hedge funds are getting hurt. But new hedge funds likely have joined the party ...

What difference does that make?

It means my stake is sold, and you implied that I was unable to speak objectively because I had a stake.

I mean, I hope you realize that you're one of them now.

I sold out on Thursday, so no, not really.

If my 8000% profits are typical of a pyramid scheme, I need to find more pyramid schemes. What this is is market manipulation of the same type that those hedge funds and money managers employ regularly. People my age (25), which I suspect is most of the “retail” investing crowd, remember 2008 quite ...

Off Topic seems appropriate, given the subject matter is not inherently political. Personally, sticking it to the hedge fund managers and massive capital firms for the last year and a half since I got involved has been a purely apolitical venture and in my mind the answers to these above questions a...

Probably will, because I can't access my wallet due to "connection issues" and I assume I'm not the only one lmao

They should be submitting orders again now.

I do, and I'm looking into it. Fairbot is entering orders, so you're welcome to play FvA games in the meanwhile.

He’s on to us!

We’ll take all the new membership we can get.

Hi IshGish, the above answers are technically correct but realistically this is something we need to fix. Thanks for pointing it out.

I came here thinking this was a Dunkin ad
