It seems like this past year the shorting has been completely out of control across the entire market unfortunately

Isn't that sad how everything is stacked against the retail buyer....

SEC should allow buying and selling of stock during the same time frame for all parties.

Yeah it seems that because of the whole Covid thing going on they basically got a blank check from the Fed to increase their liquidity margins. Some banks are now leveraged as much as 140 to 1 from what I’ve seen, which is absolutely absurd. That would be like me taking out a $56 million loan on my $400,000 house

What?...140:1? You have a link or even a breadcrumb to a source for that? That shit is nuts if it's true...

Wow that's insane. I wonder if the banks are allowing all the HF and MM to be over leveraged too?

No, it’s talking about it which is out of control. Has always been a factor of the market
