@icedquinn It makes no sense to me, shorting makes stock prices go down not up normally. so I have to wonder why the reverse is happening here.
@icedquinn yea im aware of the story a bit (didnt really look into it too much).. but what you just describe would be them long-ing the stocks (buying) not shorting.
It seems contrary to how brokers are reacting then.. brokers are allowing the long buys on the stocks right now but have only blocked shorting the stocks. If it is as you say the brokers and bank shorting and getting mad their getting screwed then I would have expected the brokers not to block shorts and still permit longs (which is what is hurting the banks/brokers).
@icedquinn @georgia @freemo I've been buying NOK shares all day just to test this and it's not the case on TD Ameritrade at least.
