Good morning here's what happened with GameStop yesterday/this morning: FIRST GameStop MACD convergence. THEN large shareholder Ryan Cohen's frog ice cream tweet. THEN stock spike. Enjoy the dessert. https://t.co/TdguLVnN7n — PolitiTweet.org

Is this part of why GameStop jumped? Activist investor Ryan Cohen tweeted pic of McDonald’s ice cream cone and a frog which apparently may have been an encoded signal about stock’s “MACD” (moving average convergence divergence) about to “leap” - a buy signal https://t.co/h9QVdY052K — PolitiTweet.org

Pressed why Robinhood doesn’t invest in more phone lines, CEO Vlad says they are but it’s inefficient, you have to ask user all sorts of questions and current in-app drop down callback system is better and comparable to Amazon. #DealBookDC Want to democratize? Deal with demos. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite looking like last week's hearing didn't land many blows, think former SEC Chair Jay Clayton just laid out to @andrewrsorkin #dealbookdc there's ample ground for next SEC chair to take a hard and targeted look at GameStop/Robinhood/Bitcoin issues. This song's not over. — PolitiTweet.org

Former SEC Chair Jay Clayton says social media stock banter isn't necessarily pump and dump but watch out for "laddering" behavior on thinly traded stocks with fundamentals "out of whack." @dealbook — PolitiTweet.org

Former SEC chair Jay Clayton backs requiring disclosing "significant" short positions. "Don’t think we should make people disclose their short positions unless they’re significant," past the same threshold we require for longs, he told @andrewrsorkin @dealbook dc policy project. — PolitiTweet.org
