Walking back from work to my home in NYC tonight and evoking all emotions of the greatness of NYC. As Spring springs, NYC rises. Seeing friends, stopping at multiple restaurants to support them and feeling it all. Still the greatest city in the world.
Super proud of our team for persevering over this last year! Through the chaos and fear of those early days in NYC, to continuing to operate entirely remotely today, the
@Stocktwits
team has put in the work to keep us moving forward. Big things to come indeed!
It's been one hell of a year. Our team went remote this day last March, but we didn’t slow down!
400% growth in active users and 1000%+ growth for our Daily Rip newsletter (1.1M subs)! 👀
A huge thank you to our ever-growing & ever-supportive community. Big things on the way👊
A huge milestone that has been a longtime coming for

A day in history for real. Wanted to shoutout our team
@Stocktwits
that writes our Daily Rip newsletter that reaches over a million subscribers. Amazing work today covering the realities of global events. Check it out:
This is dumb. Why do "Big Investors" get protection from retail but when "Big Investors" and HFT do things there's no one there to protect the retail investor. Rules and circuit breakers should work equally/fairly for all, not just those with the most money.
WTF Happened This Week?
My head is spinning so fast I need the community to help think through this.
TONIGHT the CEO of
@Stocktwits
@rkhanna
and I talk through the $GME saga.
Join us at 8:30 PM EST on

I’ve been spending time in and around crypto, NFTs and DeFi recently. We’re working on some stuff ;). My biggest takeaway though is that NYC feels like the epicenter of the community and action. That doesn’t take away from other places (I see you MIA), but don’t sleep on NYC!

Fun fact, I will now get to say I hung out with the CEO of Amazon once :) He's a big buffalo wings fan and, back in like 2008 (after an AWS event), I got to take him out in NYC to one of my favorite wing spots (I believe we went to

Just did my first karaoke with my 8 year daughter! She picked a song from two of her fave Disney movies and then I had her join me in Welcome to the Jungle! Parent of the year 🤷🏽♂️
Great profile of the one and only

Prime Brokerage to release their iOS app so we all have access to the same services as hedge funds! Easy number 1 in the app store! What say you

PB, don't sleep on this!)
Hey ya’ll, if the recent market volatility and downturn has you shook and reconsidering your startup or work, then it wasn’t for you. Move on. “Hustling just ain’t you.” (h/t my OG cofounder
@richkleiman
)
If you want insight into the plumbing of what happened with brokerages and $GME, etc, this is a solid thread! If you want to just yell really loud that RH and hedge funds suck, this is too much insight so you should avoid it.
Dear Media,
What’s happening with RobinHood?
A quick primer.
This is a “plumbing” issue. It is esoteric, even for those on Wall Street.

I haven't met anyone out there that cares harder than

I'm trying to move to all digital for my note taking. I love paper notebooks but it's too hard to keep organized. What tools do people like out there, especially on an iPad Pro?

@RobinhoodApp
This is from a revenue perspective. There is very little revenue in equities. I consider it a marketing loss leader. The additional data we’d want to see is from a transactional volume perspective.
Listening to various conversations on
@joinClubhouse
about $GME and the markets makes me cringe how many very smart people don't actually know how the markets function.
I’m headed to a new restaurant this week, Xuntos, and the logo looks awfully familiar!

You need to make sure you deposit it into a qualified account so you don’t get hit with tax penalties! An IRA typically. Roth or Traditional will be the question.
I started my first company in 1999 (failure), my next one in 2007 (eh) and took over as CEO of Stocktwits right before COVID. You gotta want this. You gotta want to work for it. It’s not easy. It won’t come on a platter.
1/ Founders have to wear a lot of hats, but I think their most important role is to be a great investor. Somehow that has become a contrarian opinion, or at least something that isn't discussed much in the venture ecosystem...
Somehow this is more embarrassing and painful than I expected! I thought it would make sense to let my 8 year old watch. Holy shit, wrong! Need to inject bleach into my brain.

I was just sharing that point on a Clubhouse tonight (I know I know). That said, your risk management is pretty crappy if you’re taking huge short positions in very high short interest stocks with no protection.
Well said Sam. “A title is a burden”. We were about 20 people a year ago at
@Stocktwits
and have grown to almost 50 today. But headcount growth, like funding amounts, isn’t the goal. Delivering immense value to our users through great products and features is.
1/ This has been a tale of a lack of transparency in a complex system, misaligned incentives w/ leverage, counterparty risk, legacy tech, and poor communication. Still, today started with a lack of transparency from
@RobinhoodApp
for why they halted.

Apparently tonight was make you’re own pizza night! Here’s my entry! Sweet Italian sausage, jalapeño and red onion with fresh mozzarella.

is owned by or in collusion with Apple and this is their strategy to increase growth and crush Android/Google. WSB needs to look into this! Prove me wrong 😂
This feels like some real BS. When you only let people close out positions and not buy, you are manipulating the market. It’s unfortunate you’ve taken a side and it wasn’t with your users. By the way, did you do this with Bitcoin?
In light of current market volatility, we are restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only, including $AMC and $GME. Read more here.
A children's book explanation of what's happening:
1. If you are "smart money" you are allowed to take your $1 and leverage it up to $15+
2. You can now buy $15 of stock AND if you promise to short companies, you can short $15 of stock as well
