These new restrictions on trading suggests that @RobinhoodApp has liquidity problems. Robinhood’s CEO Vlad Tenev denied the company had liquidity issues. Was he telling the truth? @SEC_Enforcement should investigate. — PolitiTweet.org

Ordinary investors figured out they could make money by buying stocks of companies, such as GameStop, in which hedge funds & others had shorted the stocks. That’s called the free market. Wrong for @RobinhoodApp & other firms to shut that down. @SEC_Enforcement should investigate. — PolitiTweet.org

Ordinary investors figured out they could make money by buying stocks of companies, such as GameStop & AMC, in which hedge funds & others had shorted the stocks. This is called the free market. It was wrong for @RobinhoodApp, @TDAmeritrade & other firms to try to shut that down. — PolitiTweet.org

@GOPSECRETPOLICE @RobinhoodApp @SEC_Enforcement My posts have all been consistent. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

It is not appropriate for Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev to protect investors who shorted GameStop. Why would @RobinhoodApp help investors who thought the stock would fall & hurt investors who thought the stock would rise? @SEC_Enforcement should investigate Robinhood’s rigged actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I don’t understand Robinhood CEO’s statement. Why would @RobinhoodApp need to be protected from people buying stocks that rose significantly in price? @SEC_Enforcement should investigate Robinhood & other firms who stopped ordinary investors from buying GameStop & other stocks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Let’s be clear: there is nothing wrong with people trying to take advantage of those, such as hedge fund folks, who engage in shorting stocks. It’s called the free market. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@frankLeeSpeackN @SEC_Enforcement @RobinhoodApp The SEC is not Congress. Also there’s no “rule” that required Robinhood to stop people from buying GameStop. And only allowing selling of the stock has the effect of driving down the stock price. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Yes — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Is there anything wrong with folks buying a stock like GameStop because they want to stick it to hedge funds? No. Is there anything wrong with Robinhood stopping people from buying $GME or allegedly doing force sells? Likely. @SEC_Enforcement should investigate @RobinhoodApp. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to General Motors for recognizing the existential threat of climate change and acknowledging the changing consumer demands. What made General Motors great is the company’s understanding of physics, chemistry and science. Glad GM is doubling down on facts and science. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear Robinhood: I’m highlighting @RobinhoodApp because you say your mission is to “democratize finance for all.” Your actions in restricting customers from buying GameStop and AMC stock suggest the opposite. By only allowing people to sell, you are driving down share prices. Why? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Pleased to see @POTUS is putting Americans first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Why are brokerage firms like Robin Hood restricting trading in GameStop? Looks to me like a fear of too much profit going to ordinary investors. Can you explain @RobinhoodApp? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This is so ... wise. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@WillyGoode I don’t determine what has value. But I get to ask questions about what has value. Do you believe there is societal value to shorting stock? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@grierhiggins Explain — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The dramatic rise in GameStop stock price raises the question to me of whether there is any societal value to shorting stock? I’m not sure there is. In which case my initial reaction is that it’s awesome Reddit users and others are sticking it to hedge funds. Do you agree? — PolitiTweet.org

@sv_SR7 That’s not my point. Anyone can buy individual stocks, just like anyone can go bet on horses. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Having worked as an associate general counsel in a financial services company, it’s clear to me that investing in individual stocks is essentially gambling. No one knows if GameStop stock will rise or fall tomorrow, or whether the company will expand or go bankrupt in a year. — PolitiTweet.org
