There have been grand total of two good companies worth anyone's pity have come from Netherlands, ASML and NXP both spinoffs/offshoots of Phillips.

The Netherlands is the last bastion of entreprenuership and innovation in deeply communist and anti-innovation, anti-rich and anti-prosperity EU.

Not sure how long before Netherlands nationalizes their big companies.

He's implying that workers should work hard and give all the earnings and IP to the govt so they can "redistribute" and "rehire" for communal good.

Communist europe's startups? All they ('companies') do is get free handouts from Brussels and govt agencies.

Of course not, through the southern border illegaly!

And vote the populists who will give you free citizenship and scholarships!

Naked short selling through unlimited "Puts" is totally LEGAL for these hedge-funds, but when people caught them pants down they are using every ILLEGAL move to cover their asses and losses.

These are the corrupt and insane people who should be punished not the people who sussed out their bullshit!

What Robinhood and other platforms are doing is market manipulation which is illegal.

The legal and reasonable thing would be to allow trading these stocks with additional "e-signs" letting the individual know that there are additional risks here.

That would actually help the retail investor.

But these brokers and buddies are happy to help their hedge fund buddies!!

bad idea. indian companies haven't shown any competence or compassion in this space.

if they force Apple to pre-install appstore on phones? say bye-bye to $10 B manufacturing dream.

Having local controls and slightly stricter rules is good! But these chinese-commie style is bad!

You are right, but Options trading isn't available to people with less than $5k deposits on Robinhood and I think same is true with margins.

Robinhood is more agressive when it comes to margin calls, that actually protects inexperienced investors.

I hate hit pieces, Robinhood actually provides a REAL opportunity for poor people with aptitude and high risk tolerance a way out of poverty!

How? In your world there is no concept of personal responsibilty?

If I lose ALL my investments, it doesn't change my way of life or status in society. I have no dependents or collateral.

On the other hand, if my investments pay off, I have a real shot of upward social mobility within 5 years, instead of 5 decades.

You want only millionaires investing in securities? I don't have any right to invest because I am poor?

I am not against regulations, I think all existing regulations are perfectly adequate to protect inexperienced investors from themselves.

Exactly, It is ridiculously hard for poor people to invest in securities without Robinhood.

Who decides that I am too stupid to invest?

I should be the only person to decide that, already there are strict regulations about day trading, volume of trades on a mobile platform, access to margins and access to after hours trading.

Robinhood adheres to all these regulations and doesn't easily dole out features to anyone.
