The sudden attention being given to the gyrations of Game Stop stock prices has caused all sorts of hand wringing within the hallowed walls of high finance. In typical fashion the people who like to carry on their trading and associated activities beyond the public gaze are all a twitter because a bunch of apparently crazy outsiders are not adhering to the sedate rules of the game. This produces truly odd results. Normally virulently anti-government voices are suddenly calling for SEC investigations and even regulation to prevent outsiders spoiling things. Some are swooning over the event as a demonstration of the awful greed and selfishness that has overtaken even average Americans — rather than just Wall Street denizens.Another clown show.
How dare average people become as greedy as Wall Street bankers! The horror of it all. Whatever next?

Radford nails it.
By looking at the House financial services committee dockets, the entire finance industry can do what they want so long as they meet racial quotas. If they had enforced naked shorting rules, the WSB fellas wouldn't have to. It is exactly because the rules are bent for coastal elites that lowly plebes could pull off this latest coup d'etat.
