CEO of IBKR openly admitted that they halted GME trading "because stock was too expensive" and will open it again once "it would cost 17$". And laughs in between.
Isn't the whole purpose of a free market with stock trading that people make those decisions themselves? I've certainly made bad trades in the past, but no one stopped me. Shouldn't I have been stopped as well then?
And if everyone is protected from losing money, we should just disable buying stocks at all for everyone, because you can always lose money.
