Even if their TOS negate any potential lawsuits it feels like brand suicide. Seems other platforms halted buying temporary or set limitations but RH went all in. Add in the known connection to some of the players in this and they're taking the heat.

But I'm sure there's an investor class out there that isn't even paying attention to this or may not even care or want to pay their $75 transfer fee.

Quoting an email received from RH

"It’s been a tough day, and we’re grateful to you for being a Robinhood customer. In light of the extraordinary market conditions this week, we temporarily limited buying for certain securities this morning. Starting tomorrow, we plan to allow limited buys of these securities. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and may make adjustments as needed.

This was a temporary decision made to best continue serving you, and was not an easy one to make. We know it’s led to frustration and confusion, and wanted to provide some clarity.

As a brokerage firm, we have many financial requirements, including SEC net capital obligations and clearinghouse deposits. Some of these requirements fluctuate based on volatility in the markets and can be substantial in the current environment. These requirements exist to protect investors and the markets and we take our responsibilities to comply with them seriously, including through the measures we have taken today.
To be clear, this decision was not made on the direction of any market maker we route to or other market participants.

The past year in particular has shown us that the financial markets are for everyone—not just institutional investors and hedge funds. We’ve seen a new generation enter the market, and they’re sparking conversations about what it means to be an investor. We stand in support of you, our customers. Democratizing finance for all means giving more people access, not less.
We’ll keep monitoring market conditions and will update this Help Center article with the latest changes. We also published a blog post regarding today’s events.

Thank you again for being a Robinhood customer. We’re so grateful for your support.

Sincerely,
The Robinhood Team"

Robinhoods exposure is probably wildly higher. Most of the capital at places like Schwab or Fidelity is probably in fairly safe retirement accounts. Sure, they have active trading accounts and some subset of that group was probably in these trades.

Also, from what I know, Robinhood makes it's money off getting people to trade and selling margin so they've gone out of their way to encourage some of this behavior. I'd be shocked if their subset of traders in these trades wasn't quite a bit larger.

I didn't see any "Vanguard cuts off trading of GME" headlines the last few days but they've went out of their way to sculpt a more buy and hold investor mentality.

I see you've got XXX shares of this stock and YYY shares of that stock, and I'm wondering if perhaps we should move some to ZZZ mutual fund where I get paid a commission." (Well, he didn't say that last part, but it was obvious.)

I took the phone away from my ear and looked at it in confusion before putting it back. "Who are you?"

"I'm your broker and I just wanted to talk about ..."

He was clearly in my account because he knew what my holdings were. It was some dude who worked there. I sent him packing, and then I started getting his "personal Schwab newsletter", which went straight to my junk folder.

I have no idea why they suddenly assigned this guy to me, and I did not welcome his presence. Now I know that some dude that I've never met occasionally looks in my stock account, and I've considered moving away from Schwab as a result.
THAT would bother me A LOT. I'd shut that account down if it were me.

This made me laugh. But also a bad look for RH.

One month from now, GME will likely be worth $20. If you're buying now, you're betting that you can time it right and not lose your ass before then, and people have never been able to time the market.
RH didn’t give a flying **** when the same jackasses were YOLOing their whole portfolio on Tesla calls. This isn’t about risk to the investor.

Sell, transfer money, buy. But don't sell any GME you may have, as there is some chance you won't be able to buy again. Realistically you'll have two accounts on two brokerages for awhile.

This is the beginning of the end of the bull market.

Seen this silly shit too many times before a crash.

I'm betting 20-25% drop very soon.
