No it's not.

If you're that guy, you get the SEC coming after you and coming after your boss and your boss' boss, etc.

An SEC investigation is a lot like an NCAA investigation. You could go after literally any firm on wallstreet and find something to nail them for. What prevents that happening is a sort of gentleman's agreement, keeping your head low, and knowing what you can get away with and what you can't.

If you're the face of a play that makes your company a few hundred billion while your next 15-20 competitors each take a bath, how fast do you think the SEC is going to come to your place of business?

Losing billions of your client's money gets you made fun of, probably lose your job, but you can eventually come back into the real rich guy club. Getting an SEC investigation called in on your employer will get you kicked out.

a network of shifting and crisscrossing alliances, the fate of millions turning on the slightest move. every action carefully considered and calculated.

and someone just shot an archduke

Normally they would peel off one by one as the price gets more attractive, but they're driven by solidarity and all willing to hold the line. In theory if there's no selling, in two weeks the maximum losses for the hedge funds are on the order of a trillion dollars.

eventually the hedge funds go bankrupt and someone else is on the hook

Looks like the solution to overleveraged hedgies is to trigger a broader market selloff that would also depress the same stuff they're shorted on.

that selloff is because they have to cover the other side of the trade, it's not gonna drive the squeezed stocks down

People overlooking the fact that a lot of hedge funds and institutional investor types are actually making money on this. This isn't as singular a victory against the moneyed elites as people would have you believe.

imagine a city run by criminal cartels

if an anonymous mob robs and burns down a cartel leaders house, the other cartels are the ones who get the immediate benefit

but i doubt they're going to be too happy about that, especially if they can't effectively retaliate

also this week has taught me how just i have no money instincts in a way that years of general wage stagnation has not because my coworker messaged me yesterday and said "hey thanks for enrolling in the novavax trial"

me: "oh yeah sure, i mean, tbh i mostly did it to have a chance at getting the vaccine early, but also happy to help advance science or whatever"

coworker: "no you moron, i mean, when you posted in slack that you'd enrolled last week, i thought 'hmm, petey's cautious and smart, he must have done his research before enrolling, i'm going to go buy a ton of novavax stock', and now that their UK phase 3 is out they're up 70% this week"

like i did indeed do like a solid week of research on the vaccine development before enrolling, read every preliminary study i could find, listened to podcasts of third party scientists discussing their approach, talked to md/phd friends about their design, universally heard that it should be a safe and very effective vaccine, and bet my own personal health on that but no money, not even the $300 they paid me day-of to get the shot
