They are allowing on selling on some of these.. the hedgefund people are going to go bankrupt and Robin Hood is in bed with them or so it seems.

Sounds like they use Citadel to handle their order flow who lent Melvin a couple billion and are left holding the bag

American Airlines up 30% at open today. I ended up getting Airbnb which has done quite well, but I hope you AA investors are happy today!

I question the motive of some of these Robinhood (and other platforms) traders. Are they just trying to make a buck or are they just out to screw up the hedge fund traders just because they can? We've been watching people destroy others business' all year so is this the same type behavior.

They're doing nothing wrong here.

We're talking about thousands of people, so concluding what "they" want is pretty tough. The subreddit itself is all about taking huge risks in hopes of huge payouts, so that's probably where it started - force the shorts to sell so that the price goes up and everyone can dump at the top.

Somewhere along the way, they realized that doing so would cause huge damage to a couple of hedge funds, and many believe such organizations to be at the root cause of a lot of economic problems, so some probably hopped on in hopes of sticking it to the man.

Then it got momentum, and you have random Joe's who don't really have any idea what they're doing but jumped on because they see people posting how much money they've "made." Eventually, the bottom is going to drop out, and it'll likely be these types that will get screwed.

So from my perspective, it's a little of everything.

I didn't say they were I just questioned their motives.

I'm wondering if there's a handful of leaders of this cabal. Pied Pipers so to speak with lot's of cash to work with who are stringing this along. This is supposed to be the little guys doing this but I have my doubts it's just them.

The initiator of all of this is a user on WSB named u/deep****ingvalue.
