"Censoring" of Stock Purchases?

in LeoFinance4 years ago

I am going to imagine that this type of garbage does not happen with LeoFinance-

From Robinhood- (brokerage)
"We wanted to reach out to you after a transformative week in the markets to answer a question we know many of you are asking: “Why did Robinhood limit certain stocks?”

We understand that the temporary limits we placed on certain stocks this past week were frustrating for many, especially since we built Robinhood to expand access to investing. We have always sought to put our customers first and we want you to be able to invest on your own terms.

To help explain what happened and why we had to take action, we wrote a letter to our customers and captured the key understandings for you below:
For Robinhood to operate, we must meet clearinghouse deposit requirements to support customer trades.
Deposit requirements are determined in part by how much stock a firm’s customers hold. If a firm’s customers’ holdings are volatile, a broker (in this instance Robinhood) is obligated to meet higher deposit requirements.
Last week, in part due to volatility in some popular stocks, Robinhood’s deposit requirements rose tenfold. The combination of the deposit increase and the extraordinary increase in volume on these particular symbols led us to put temporary buying restrictions in place on a small number of those stocks.
We had to take steps to limit buying in those volatile stocks to ensure we could comfortably meet our deposit obligations. We didn’t want to stop people from buying stocks and we certainly weren’t trying to help hedge funds.
We hope you take away this: at Robinhood, we stand with everyday investors participating in the markets. Standing by our Robinhood community means being there for our customers through any trading environment. We’ll continue to improve as we break down barriers in the financial system to open it for all.

Thank you for being a part of the Robinhood community."

Dear Robinhood-
"First of all- I have already attempted to cancel robinhood gold and your app refuses to do so.
Second- I will be moving to a different broker.
Third- I have money in my account, I have money that has nothing to do with your bullshit reasons for cockblocking me from buying and selling, I do not borrow at margin and all my funds were settled douchbaggeries.
So I don’t even want to hear your new bullsh*t reasons. Thanks."

And how do we move the WallStreetbets community to blockchain? Anytime I mention blockchain my message is deleted by bots because it is banned or something.

I wonder if they hide blockchain info from Facebook too?436de497_b864_483c_b527_a025734ae0c0.jpeg

It does not happen with Leofinance. Tell this to your friends as well.
