Gross. I hate that stuff. I get the need for security, but I don’t want the Capital looking like the DMZ.

Shocker. I halfway expected them to just close the Mall permanently. I do hate to see us handle our government buildings like lovely dictatorships though, we should at least aspire to look like a high-rent one. Edit: also the demand for a fence is rich coming from the acting Capitol Police chief, how about you start with the much cheaper and more effective “take threats seriously,” hmmm?

ASAPI posted:Thank you for that. It's helping me frame my perspective on this matter. Well this time last year I was helping run Security Risk Management at TD before getting laid off from the Schwab merger. Additionally I'm fresh off doing cybersecurity and business risk consulting to the 3 major players (RH, hedge funds) involved in the GME bullshit- so I have... unique insights into the risk around this stuff

Apparently some of the people liquidated at the bottom of today's GME price on robinhood did not have margin accounts. This is horseshit, and to highlight how hosed up everything is, I agree with Ben Garrison:

Anybody with a short position faces potentially unlimited losses without adequate treatment- this could be other options/calls but there are restrictions

If you're shorting a stock that starts going up, you have to put up more money as collateral or forced to buy stock to close out your position

So here's the best "what happened?" explanation I've seen as to why the brokerages shut down trading on the meme stocks. https://twitter.com/bespokeinvest/status/1354936237904322567 In a word: settlements. I didn't know these were really a thing, I just thought you bought, sold, and immediately lost/gained your money. Apparently there's more to it than that. And I more or less believe this general explanation, because Wall Street is always set up to "win" on a trade, even if it's by a fraction of a penny. The fractions add up to bajillions, so even the "no-cost" trades benefit Wall Street. There's absolutely a component of Robinhood et al having really scummy relationships with hedge funds and others (everyone knows everyone on Wall Street), but it might be as simple as "holy poo poo we don't have the money to fund settlements, shut the poo poo down until we get more".
