I'm also glad I didn't invest any serious money into GME. I do think that RobinHood and other apps limiting the shares killed the momentum. I have a few AMC and BlackBerry shares that I'm going to hold on to long term. I think they'll both rebound. I'm happy I dipped my toe into Crypto and invested a bit into Bitcoin when it dipped to the low 30K though. I wish I had bought some last year when it was around $7K or even 2018 when it was at $3K. Oh well.

Yeah, Robinhood's days are numbered. Even if they remain solvent, most people are planning dumping them once this GME thing is over.

CEO of Robinhood digging his own grave on CNBC right now. He's not helping his case at all.

I like Sherrod Brown, he's a good guy. Hopefully as a result of this we can get some regulation of the hedge funds and other Wall Street types that's been screwing working class for ages.

If this is true, than the people at Citadel and Robinhood need to go to jail. This is only to anger the retail crowd more.

HOLD THE LINE TOUPS!!!!! I invested a little bit into this, just to say I was a part of history and screw over the big guys. I think this whole thing is fascinating. Retail investors now know the power they have when they band together and that scares Wall Street.

While nothing Trump does surprises me, there could be alternate explanations. It could be an archivist taking it away and putting things to storage. I read somewhere they doing an extra deep clean of the White House before Biden moves in. They might have to remove some stuff to do it.

Legal experts are mixed on if a president can be impeached and/or convicted after leaving office. There is one precedent that points to yes they can. In 1876, Secretary of War, William Belknap resigned minutes before the US House was set to vote on impeachment. The House went ahead and impeached him anyways. The Senate also proceeded to have a trial.

I am no expert but I was a congressional intern one summer and gave tours of the Capitol Building. That place is a [!@#$%^&*] maze and not easy to navigate. There is no way they could get to the rooms they did as easy as they did unless some members of the mob were off-duty Capitol employees and/or some of the on duty Capitol police were helping them.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
I prefer Max Bowden to Harry Reid but I don't like the "gay gangster" route they're trying to go with Ben. It's boring and Max isn't even very good at. It's usually the gangster/hard man stuff where he struggles the most. I think he does a good job the rare moments they let Ben be a bit campy and effeminate. If they stopped trying to turn Ben into a mini Phil it'd do wonders for the character.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
Absolutely vile. Tina wasn't ever my favorite Carter, but she deserved a better send off. I already see speculation it could be a fake out. I don't care if it is, they've done so many death fake outs, it's a joke. The message they are basically sending is if you try to leave or expose an abuser, you're dead.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
I suppose the same reason they decided to destroy Sharon and Ian's 30 year friendship. The show is 95% plot. They don't care about characters. Jamie is a great young actor. Agreed that it is a shame how little he is used. Now a days Jay only exists to prop up Ben and Callum. Part of me wishes he'd move on and try his talents elsewhere since EastEnders isn't using them, but I don't blame him for keeping a steady gig.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
That just started a few weeks ago. On one hand, Jay and Honey are two characters that almost never get a story or airtime, so I was happy they finally got one, but with Honey once being a surrogate mother figure in Jay's life, the pairing comes across as skeevy to me.

Glad to see EastEnders was rewarded for character assassinating Sharon with it's lowest ever Christmas Day Ratings. The show is complete garbage. I also believe that while Kate Oates shares some blame (she does have power to veto these stories and replace Jon Sen) Jon Sen is mainly to blame. EastEnders was actually on the upswing for the brief period Kate Oates was flying solo at EastEnders. A lot of this mess began when Jon Sen started appearing in the credits as EP.

Like that is going to stop people from jumping ship. Threatening firing only going to encourage people. It gives you a 76 day head start in looking for a new job...

I'm not the biggest Joe Scarbrough fan in the world, but his constant trolling this morning gave me life. We all know it's over and the media being to afraid to call it, for fear of Trump's reaction is why more and more people distrust and hate the them. I'm glad the anchors seem to be in open revolt now.

I understand the networks want to be very cautious, but we all know Trump isn't going to catch up to Biden in Pennsylvania, the math just isn't there. They need to call it. The longer they let this drag out, the longer they let Trump spew lies and distort the truth.

Yeah, the Arizona thing is strange. Fox News Decision Desk is generally spot on. They actually just issued a statement a little while ago that they still stand by their call. The AP also called it, which they are normally the last one to call a state. They haven't retracted either. I don't think it's going to matter anyways, by morning, Biden will be ahead in PA and likely win it.

You know it's not going well for the GOP when one of most partisan conservative hack judges in Texas rules against you. Hillary lost Texas by 800K, these 127K normally wouldn't matter. Republicans must fear the polling in Texas showing Biden in striking distance is real.
