This GameStop, silver etc. reddit stuff is very worrying. It's basically market manipulation on a grand scale - if banks got together and did the same thing they'd be court cases like the libor scandal. No doubt the authorities will step in and crack down on retail investing which will be bad for everyone, leading higher costs, a less efficient market etc. Currently retail investing is about as good as it's ever been - I recently opened a small account with freetrade as an experiment where they don't charge me a penny to trade - it's nuts! I don't know what there business model is supposed to be, maybe hoping you'll upgrade to the premium account which charges fees. It's not like they're earning interest on cash deposits at the moment either.

I don't see it quite that way, I think it is long overdue that a focus was put on short selling that drives companies into the ground. It does not add up to market manipulation it is just individuals saying buy or sell, no inside information, no statistical massage etc..
I don't however, disagree with you that the city will put pressure on regulators to stop it hurting their milking machine.

Personally, I would ban short selling of the real stock it serves no good purpose, if hedge funds want to short they can do it through derivatives that do not involve the actual stock and therefore are not self-fulfulling in driving it to the ground. Then they would have to properly think about what they were doing rather than just deciding to inflict often mortal pain on a company via short selling. just my opinion

I agree regarding the short-selling. I guess the interesting thing to me is at what point does a group of people getting together and discussing/agreeing together what to buy/sell become market manipulation. If a guy in an investment bank rings another and agrees with his mates in different banks to buy/sell something altogether with everything they've got available presumably the SEC or FCA would classify that as manipulation. Similarly if the purpose of online forum posts is to coordinate mass trading of particular assets at the same time in the same direction I would label that in the same way. It's a bit different to people on here for example, posting analysis of various instruments and leaving people to make up their own minds, some may follow some may not. It's the coercive side of it I think that might get them into trouble. Whatever happens there's going to be some major regulatory fallout I suspect.
