The interest is only if you hold after the set time. The shorted stocks have already been covered so they are just entirely punched out.

Vanguard is on like a 20 minute delay, so probably not a great day trader.

Looks like RH is now restricting the ability to move buying power from Stocks to Crypto. I bought into doge yesterday afternoon then sold it high last night and bought stocks. I had a few hundred dollars left in my buying power that I was going to use to buy some more doge and pull the same poo poo over the weekend.

Nope, suddenly unable to put any money in crypto because there’s a 3 day waiting period in buying power available across the two. Guess I’m just going to sit here until I can pull the money out entirely.

Wonder how hosed RH got on Doge today.

same here, I can't pull out either. This is so fuckin dumb I want memecoins

yeah agree, the overreaction to this with no plausible explanation why other than 'people may get hurt, meme stocks are worthless' is extremely worrying considering no one really gives a poo poo if people get hurt and all stocks are 'worthless' so yeah who the gently caress knows, but it's a BIG DEAL they say.

In the end I don't think any amount of yelling THESE ARE SCAMS is gonna work if this things stays above even $200 for a few more days. If it doesn't start dropping majorly soon the mainstream financial outlets will lose all credibility with people who still trust that garbage.

Yeah, I have money I can't do poo poo with due to the trade limits but its no enough to buy and exercise options. So my only option is just sit around or play Doge roulette over the weekend.

Nope, no roulette for me.

Edit: Would have made a solid 50% gains so far if I'd been able to buy at the dip like I wanted.

I'm just going to let any unspend buying power rest until I can pull it back into my checking account. gently caress RH.

What other possible explanation is there? They're just going to indefinitely hold shorts until people get bored? If they weren't buying back stocks at elevated rates then they wouldn't need to get cash from other brokers.

CuddleCryptid posted:

The hope was that they would wait out the contract to the very last second hoping for a dip and then sell. If they decide to just eat the loss them they could just slowly buy out shares to cover at the elevated rate without creating any spikes.

Yes this makes sense, perhaps there is some counter party agreement when you borrow the stocks that this is the penalty if you don't provide the stock, and they wanted to prevent that gamma parabola, so this might be the better of the two bad options for them.

However, it seems that it might not be that smart considering the attention it has gotten, and everybody and their mother's uncle buying in. So lol, while it might not go to the moon, it might still track up, and they will have to eat the interest and the increase.

most of the shorts due today covered when the stock was manipulated below 115 yesterday. Today there was still 11B in outstanding short interest. Most of that is actually new short interest probably > $300.

Nobody knows where this really stands. My feeling is if it hasn't fallen past 100 already most of the players are locked in for another week. Guess we'll see Monday morning.

yeah, good question. can be get an expert opinion? perhaps Cumshitter knows?

If I had to guess, there is probably a agreement when you borrow the shares that the borrower can not give it back for a huge interest penalty, so in that case the penalty would go to the original stock lender.

in thinking about it, this might also screw up future shorts, as there is less of a pool if this keeps going. lol.

Did you place a Day order or a GTC (good until cancelled) order? Day orders expire at the end of a trading session.
