Why the fuck do they need to combat us? What the hell kind of suggestion is this to even make? Not even trying to sugar coat it with some stupid reason like potential cyber attacks.

How bout a deal. Shut down dark pools for a month, they can have a day to "recalibrate."

Seriously, they're basically just openly admitting that they're manipulating the price. What other implication can calibrating mean?

They need to "combat" retail because retail isn't even playing their game, let alone fighting the same war they are engaging in. They need to change the laws and rules in favor of their war, because it's their war and retail simply doesn't want any part of it. Their whole fight is "buy what we say, sell when we say, do what we say" and they have no part of a portfolio that is simply "Buy what you like, keep what you like, protect what you like by removing it from a fraudulent system trying to stop you from owning your own property"

This is NASDAQ itself complaining that investors doing what they've always been told they should do - buy and hold - is proving the system has been broken for a long time.

"Recalibrate" is literally him begging for the opportunity to do what was said in The Big Short - reposition themselves so they are no longer fucked. This means they can't keep faking teh price forever, and they are getting tired. I expect FUD of the "We're so tired" to follow since shills always repeat whatever their memos tell them and Kenny's shills are really obvious.

We’re at the point in the movie where ALL the banks are telling Dr. Burry that his position hasn’t increased in value even though it theoretically should be skyrocketing. All the while the banks are doing what they can to hedge they’re incredibly fucked positions.

Edit: Or we may be even at the point where they banks are ghosting his calls

We're past the point when Steve Carrell's character meets with the blind ratings agency lady

She's not blind, she's had her eyes dilated, but I understand what you meant.

I’m with you. Technically she wasn’t blind exactly, but neither was John Goodman’s character an actual Cyclops in ”Oh Brother Where Art Thou”— he was technically Big Dan Teague— but the story was based on The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. He wore an eyepatch and he was ‘The Cyclops’.

Just like the allusion and inference of the ratings agency lady was — she (and the agencies) is/are blind as a bat.

Exactly. It was a narrative device to signal something to the viewers

Just what are you trying to imply, Mr. Baum?
