$GME, $NOK $AMC. Folks when brokerage firms get nervous they close the gates on something fast. Their clearing firms will shut down or even do a stock chill in the old days. Cover your ass is their business model😉

Trading is a business, in business you have expenses. In trading these are losses. It's a part of the business. If you owned a doughnut shop would you get upset paying for flour? Ok so now don't take the flour and dump it all over the floor. Manage your business properly.

When I worked in the business, the owners of the brokerage firms would short the deals of their own brokers. Then force the brokers to sell out those accounts and cover their shorts. This is how they built their fortunes 😏

Markets are created to sell into. Liquidity is created in order to sell large amounts of stock into a market, while not scaring away new retail. This is an art form. The market is not a charity. There is an agenda to all this. Govern yourselves accordingly.

When you are looking at trading equities go look at the float. There is a mechanics to order flow that have to do with supply. I know this because I used to be the guy who controlled supply. If something has a float of half a billion shares it's going to be hard to move!
