 You score big with one stock and they call you a genius for a little while.

You score big with one sheep...

 Looks like it'll be a quandary for whichever judge gets this. On the one hand, if you don't enforce the merger agreement, you poo poo all over every other contract in Delaware and open up a massive can of worms for existing and future contracts. On the other hand, if you do enforce it, you have to deal with some combination of Elon ignoring the court/years of appeals/pandering to the court of public opinion/actually enforcing it.

I'm not a lawyer by any means, but it looks like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

Did I miss something? Indexes up 5%?!?

I think it's because inflation came in lower than what was expected.

Oh my loving god.

Pretty sure I’ve seen screenshots of their UI where there’s a leverage slider that goes up to 1000x or something, but sure if you don’t stay on top of labeling your bank accounts things happen 🤷‍♀️

As if none of you haven't told your bank/credit card that poor Excel labeling was the reason you didn't realize you were in so much debt, and that you're declaring bankruptcy right now. Also, you were taking out cash advances and maxing out your cards and giving them to your alter ego to go gamble in Vegas. We're all a little guilty of that, right?

Edit: your, not our. I WAS NOT VERY CAREFUL WITH MY WORDS HERE, AND DO NOT MEAN ANY OF THEM IN A TECHNICAL OR LEGAL SENSE; I MAY WELL HAVE NOT DESCRIBED THINGS RIGHT though I'm trying to be transparent. I'M NOT A GOOD POSTER AND PROBABLY MISDESCRIBED SOMETHING.

Probably depends on if it's just a prankster or someone who held any kind of short position on LLY.

Can't rule out some young trader trying to use the twitter chaos for a pump and dump / trash and cash.

Seems like a lot of healthcare stocks are down today. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was just a funny coincidence.

 I remember walking away from etrade when they nearly got in trouble during the financial crisis in '07-'08. Seemed really sketchy for a brokerage.
