An update on market conditions



Hi Chales,
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





Glad they cleared that up.

"These requirements exist to protect investors and the markets...To be clear, this decision was not made on the direction of any market maker we route to or other market participants."

Trying to decipher that...did the exchange or regulators tell them to do what they did? If so, why? Do they have a bunch of undermargined customers that RH can't cover?

It’s margin for sure. Everyone was plowing in on borrowed money.

Chales?


The fact that they let you have an account using the wrong name might be a reason they are in trouble. (RPB noticed first)

I suspect this is only going to escalate with silver being next to go a lot higher. People are completely fed up with the rigged game against them in the markets and with being forced to use a fiat currency that only devalues because of government money printing. If silver doesn't bust the system, people will next pull their deposits from the banks. Yes, we'll see bank runs.

Although he was kidding, JORR was right when he said this movement is the rise of the Prols.

You do understand major media outlets will find the worst of the RH/WSB traders to make the whole movement look bad right?

This is exactly what they did with Occupy Wall Street.

Don’t fall for this bullshit.

I traded stocks when yahoo finance message boards were the big thing. Believe me, there are always a new group of gullible young kids who get taken to the cleaners by these schemes. There will be no revolution. The hedge funds have more money and will win in the end. What did Occupy Wall Street accomplish? Nothing.

Just looking at this realistically. I'd love to be wrong

You don’t think MANY of these WSB traders have cashed out and won already?

MSM obliterated Occupy Wall Street because Twitter wasn’t as powerful, and cryptos weren’t a thing yet.

Also, no pandemic where the dollar was extremely vulnerable.

These are completely different circumstances.

But yeah, the retail trader will be the one who suffers as a result of this I’m sure.

Just to be clear, my aim is not at all to make this political. I am sure there are a lot who aren't big fans of Tucker Carlson, but this shows that the populist Left and Right finally have common ground if they choose to take advantage:

Sad thing is Trump would not be pressuring people to shut it down. Only because he hates Wall Street but still.

They had the ability to stop letting you buy on margin. They stopped everyone from buying.

It's the best excuse they can come up with but it seems pretty clear here that the company who provides them 40% of their total revenue, Citadel, called in a favor here.

Yeah, right. All the 22 year olds throwing their hundos in were margined out the ying yang. That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Ken Griffin blew in a call to the Bulgarian. The specific denial that that occurred is laughable.

Trump was pretty hapless when it came to helping The People. But at least he wasn't actively trying to destroy us.

Absolutely. It's like Portnoy pointed out, this guy tanked his own company. Why would he do that? That shows you just how powerful Griffin is.
