    Selling my Doge took about 10 minutes to complete fwiw. Not sure if the price I sold it at was when I placed the sell order or the value when the trade went through.

    If it falls to 4 cents, I'm buying Dodge back again.
    If it jumps to 15 cents, I'll sell more.

    If I had to guess the future, there will be a BIG crash in the near future and they'll blame Wall Street Bets for it, causing a bunch of new, dystopian regulations. After the hedge funds secure a safe position, of course.

    THIS IS THE FIRST TWO DAYS UNDER JANET YELLEN, BY THE WAY.

    Yellen was paid a $800k speaking fee from Citadel, the guys who likely forced Robinhood (and others) to halt buying today.

    Hah, I saw that guy at a bar in LA when we were doing the Blazer Fan Group Meet up. I just freaked out and said "Ashy Larry is here!"

    So....what are the plays with Gamestop, AMC and Nokia tomorrow?

    Will it start shooting up in price?

    When do we sell?

    My personal risk tolerance is high with these.

    I'm holding Nokia, BB, and AMC. Not caring about them until after the GME drama is settled.

    If GME gets up to $800, I'm out.

    I am expecting moon rides tomorrow. If we get big spikes I'll sell a few, considering setting up a limit sell orders of something like 10% for every 100% spike.

    I've been wondering how the end of GME will affect the others. Could cause a snowball sell off on everything, or it could cause everyone to pile into the others at the same time trying to chase the next big thing. I think selling a few in case the first scenario is true is prudent, but keep a lot in case the second happens.

    I think people are going to plow profits into the next big thing.

    I'm done for now. Not sure if Robinhood will be in business by the end of next week.

    Robinhood Buy Limits. Includes existing positions.

    No fractional shares.

    Probably won't buy either, just sell what I have over time.

    Such BS, that will keep somewhat of a lid on things for the day. 100 option contracts are still a lot though and would they let people exercise their options if they wanted to?

    It looks like they raised $1 billion yesterday, so I'm guessing they'll still be around?
