Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway recently said; 'We have people who know nothing about stocks being advised by people who know even less.' He is correct in the implication is that if you're going to regulate
This kind of leverage is vital for investors to protect ourselves and enable us to hold stocks which we might need to sell otherwise and lose out on the capital gains tax. When stocks are down or we see them going down we can leverage with inverse tickers such as VIX and maintain our holdings which in turn creates a more stable stock market which is better for the investor and the companies and
I have been an investor since the 80s. I invest in a variety of stocks in the hope of owning a share of each companys profits. It is a business.

I do not agree with this because doing this will make a lot of people loose more money by closing their current position or ability to add for new cost averages.
All stocks have risks. This is just a way for you guys to take advantage and bet against these leverage stocks on those dates to make money. If this is done and the stock goes my way after I will sue and so will many others.
They are openly driving the AMC stock price down. Whole world this AMC stock manipulation happening in open view. This is pure stock manipulation and cheating happening. All the buys are going through a dark pool and no price reflection happening. Please serve the Justice we are bleeding in losses.
