the notice on td ameritrade says that the stocks listed can be bought or sold in any quantity as a simple buy or sell. there are restrictions on shorting and complex orders.
aurum – I believe you are right
That is why hopefully most of us are mainly holding physical.
That “Happy Hawaiian” and his $75 April Silver prediction would be a nice surprise. I have to think SLV is a lot tougher to move than GME.
Maddog – Monday should be interesting
Either way, I give Robinhood about a month before they go belly up.
Just hope these Reddit/WSB guys take a run at SLV, about time someone does.
Re AG and SLV shorts
As I understand the mechanics of my brokerage accounts if you have a margin authorized or option authorized account, any shares you own can be lent out for shorting. It is more than likely that my AG stock has been lent out and so is part of the force pushing against my long view.
I have read that ALL Robinhood accounts have in the fine print the agreement that their positions can be lent out for shorting. Apparently if your stock is lent out you no longer technically own it and so if the brokerage went down you would only have a monetary claim not a property claim.
I hope I am wrong about this, but you might want to check out the mechanics of your own accounts.

Silver squeeze
I received 20 one ounce rounds in the mail today. I hope it helps the squeeze. I ordered random rounds and got 20 new Indian head rounds. The old stuff just isn’t available, even in the bars.

FWIW…
Here is a link to an interesting video from SGT Report.
Is the US Military really in charge, and is what we are seeing really a movie?
Weekend viewing for hopium grins if nothing else.

Shares can only be sold short once. If there is 140% of a stock out then there’s naked shorting involved.
“Shorting In practice:
Somebody wants to short $GME. Most HFs that short-sell first ping their PB to “locate borrow”.
In order to meet legal requirements, the broker has to find un-lent shares (so the same shares aren’t lent twice). The PB will “tag” those shares, indicate to the client the prevailing cost to borrow, and provide the client a “locate ID” that guarantees that client those shares.”
That’ll put a hitch in the giddyup
India plans to introduce law to ban Bitcoin, other private cryptocurrencies
India plans to introduce a law to ban private cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin in the country and provide a framework for the creation of an official digital currency during the current budget session of parliament.
In the agenda (PDF) published on the lower house website, the legislation seeks to “prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India,” but allow “for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology [blockchain] of cryptocurrency and its uses.”
The law also seeks to “create a facilitative framework for creation of the official digital currency” that will be issued by the nation’s central bank, Reserve Bank of India, the agenda said

They sure are trying to protect their Fall st buddies, but so far it ain’t working…..apparently they all thought that by taking away margin buying on Thursday, the longs would cash in or try to and the price would collapse back…..But the WSB crowd just said no thanks, yr not hurting enough and even worse went out and bought out of the money calls, immediately exercised them and said gimme the shares…..
Reports are that there are still 113 % of the float short…but that is the official story, what about all the Black Pool possies are they reported and then there is the offshore stuff, where no reporting is done……not sure now, but Germany was really bad for this a while back, …u could naked short all day and never have to deliver anything.
Also it’s very poss that Robinhood and other brokers were lending out client shares, which they are now at risk of not getting back, if the Hedge Funds blow up……
The Big GUY
needs to get his 10 % just like the Mafia ,Yellen got her “Speaking FEE” in advance ..so everything was set up in advance , to get Plausible Deniability in place .BTW where was favorite SON and what was he doing ?
Maddog – yes SLV is on the list unfortunately so is AG and MUX
What those criminals at Robinhood have done is protected their hedge fund buddies from allowing our pm shares to be susceptible to a short squeeze.
I haven’t checked what amount of any of those shares I can buy from TD Ameritrade but I will on Monday.
Now everything makes sense as to why we dropped into the close in all three of those names. If we had some smart large hedge funds, they’d join the fray and start buying up those names and continue the squeeze.
Our markets are so corrupt it’s ridiculous.
Gamestock..Cramer..WhiteHouse China JOE …SELL SELL SELL!
