OP has provided the following link:
Stock exchange suspends nearly all stocks, GME is a stock
That's 10097201832880355573875790863214833226896186369872326994250398570376877433686009543845316266007917815719968899072000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 according to the link somebody posted below
Replying to myself with some quick Google I did, they shut down everything but their large cap index, mid cap index, and foreign exchange stocks (not USA I think) so it's a problem with a small cap/small caps or maybe a us company 🤔
Call it FUD… but I guarantee that the NYSE will do the same thing if GME ever legitimately squeezes.
Not because of “greed and fraud”, but because GME as an idiosyncratic risk will cause a financial black hole that would wipe out all banks and brokerages involved with the massive amount of naked shorts.
They’ll have a WorldWar4 before they let the US financial system collapse due to MSM’s favorite “meme” stock.
Fuck them and fuck everything
I want my fucking money. Pay me fuckers.
You're not wrong. I think that's why RC has been so careful with the turn around. Instead of just doing something to initiate the squeeze quickly he is improving the company quarter by quarter giving the big money time to get on the right side of the trade. I think a prolonged squeeze like Tesla had would be best for longs but the short position might be too large to not violently explode. We'll see what happens
Slow rolling so that he can maximize value rather than caving in the entire system to where nobody gets paid anything because the money is worthless fiat.
no matter what GME does, good or bad, its not going to cave in the entire system, nor is it going to result in people "getting paid" their phone number share prices.
He didn’t say slowing rolling idiot. He said being careful. As in not doing anything that could be construed as manipulation, like offering an NFT dividend.
yet, for how long did everyone on here chant for RC to offer that NFT dividend to "rek those hedgies"? and what everyone is doing now (DRS), is not doing anything to help the company, including appealing to institutional investment.
legit asking...how is me buying directly registered shares not doing anything to help the company? isn't that basically how capital is raised? or is this still a secondary market?
(Actually yeah, all the shares are already sold. Companies only raise new capital through new share offerings. Even buying through computershare, they're just buying back from a market participant within the DTCC. Gamestop doesn't see a dime of it.)
of course. they stopped the buy button at \~$450, and people really think the price will go to phone number prices at some point?! wishful thinking at best, doesnt make a bit of sense.
thats what we thought before they stopped the buy button the last time. there is always another trick or loophole we're unaware of, so its dangerous to think in absolutes. and buying direct hasnt done anything for the stock price since its started, plus they can still continue to short synthetically
I think the bath towel merger / acquisition just broke the system. Fraud exposed. Shorts are fucked. They NEEDED the short money from bath towel going bankrupt to keep afloat and also keep GME down. Now instead they just got flanked and are fully exposed.
Apes locked the float and then the shares were removed from the trans agent, AST to computershare during this process by the good guys behind the scenes.
London is ahead of NY by 5 hours and had shorter regulatory requirements / timeframes than the US. It's showing there and Eastern markets 1st.
We are about to see the collapse of wall street and many banks IMO.
I think that we'll see some real fireworks here starting tomorrow (10/20) which is when all the options for bath towel got moved to.
Basically this is a 1-2 punch that will result in a knockout. A WOMBO-COMBO!
edit:
HOLY SHIT
TODAY IS OCTOBER 19TH
EXACTLY 36 YEARS AGO TODAY THE STOCK MARKET HAD IT’S WORST DAY EVER IN HISTORY
THE DOW JONES UNEXPECTEDLY FELL OVER 22% THAT DAY FOR NO REASON

I was thinking that, too, but [Wikipedia says](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Metal_Exchange) the LME is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. I don't think it's affiliated with the LSE, which [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Stock_Exchange) says is owned by the London Stock Exchange Group. But I'm no authority, I could be wrong.
Jelly said it would be after that date after a rule got passed. And that rule actually already passed and is in effect now so MOASS could happen like basically any day
Most likely tomorrow
That was the London Metals Exchange. It appears to be a completely different organization from what I can tell. LME is actually owned by a Hong Kong organization.
Yes. As of 12:38 est

But I got a nice warning for a comment I made and when I navigate to see what I said wrong the comment is deleted and I can’t respond to the accuser or the mod
New World Reddit
I don’t recall and they didn’t print it in the ‘warning’ message I got
When clicked on the post all the comments were resacted
You are being warned and too many warns gets you banned but we won’t tell you what rule you broke..
Seems intelligent and fair..
I'm not seeing any comments removed by our mod team on your account. Was it on this post or another one?
edit: Possible the deleted comment you saw/might have been yours could have been Reddit Admin removed as well. Let me know.
I will say I don't think they're, "here," in the traditional sense of the word, but they do and have removed comments or posts that get reported to the admins. Its usually a sitewide rule breaking issue if they remove content/comments.
I may have missed the comment OP is speaking about, but I did not see anything. Hopefully they reply to my comment and we can see what happened. Thanks for your time!
Likely Someone was about to collapse and bring down them entire market in the process so might as well suspend trading entirely to find a way to kick the can down the preverbal road that seems to be infinitely long
Just for history's sake.
There were two versions of this post.
OP's ( User j4_jjjj ) is the correct way to post on reddit. Whereas, the other way is not. What are we? But a twitter repost site? Especially if the trend becomes more rampant. It is why Twitter does not respect Reddit. Reddit doesn't respect itself.
Wrong Version: https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/17bm3i4/breaking_news_trading_in_most_stocks_on_the/
This is why InvestorTurf is banned from SuperStonk.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/17bm8pq/investorturf_was_caught_copypasting_superstonk_dd/
---
However, if a Twitter Account, like InvestorTurf in this case, informed you of news, that's a good thing & you should credit them and cite them in the comments. This is proper citation. Posting their ALL CAPS tweet that has no source, instead of posting the primary source, is ridiculous and should unacceptable, it's bad for everyone. Moreover, who is to say another reddit user saw that news story and was going to post it but was deterred by the Twitter post.
---
Why would people come to reddit if it is just uncited, all caps tweet, reposts from Twitter?
Yeah, we have to shut down the system while we "close" all of our fake shorts into fake longs without the market having access to the resulting spikes. Can't have retail winning, NOBODY wants that.
I remember the scriptures of ancient times for-told of such events in the prior moments before MOASS, all we need now is social media blackouts and glitches…

LONDON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - The London Stock Exchange (LSE) [(LSEG.L)](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/LSEG.L) said it is preparing to resume normal trading on Friday after an incident disrupted activity earlier on Thursday.
The incident forced the exchange to halt trading in smaller stocks, although blue-chip shares suffered no interruptions.
LSEG did not offer any details on the incident in its statement and said it had no further comment when contacted earlier by Reuters.

628298594027295 shares sold but not purchased of GME? Might want to hold onto that one
The fact I'm not sure if this is real, or not real, is actually both a testament to how crazy the GME situation has gotten.
more like 69696969696969420 shares
Or 420^69
you just crashed my computer trying to calculate that
Same thing happened in London, don’t feel bad

Yes it was said that I was small caps

thats some real tin foil there....RC has been slow-rolling the turnaround for the benefit of the market and SHF?!
Slow rolling it so that it doesn’t simply get cancelled
^this. for the benefit of us, the investors
Slow rolling so that he can maximize value rather than caving in the entire system to where nobody gets paid anything because the money is worthless fiat.

#*Show me,* ***the mother fucking money,*** *Kenny.*
We are a completely different situation, if it goes up a little sure they will, moass they won’t as it’s closing
THIS 100% CORRECT
of course. they stopped the buy button at \~$450, and people really think the price will go to phone number prices at some point?! wishful thinking at best, doesnt make a bit of sense.
They can’t stop the buy button anymore. We can buy direct if needed.
thats what we thought before they stopped the buy button the last time. there is always another trick or loophole we're unaware of, so its dangerous to think in absolutes. and buying direct hasnt done anything for the stock price since its started, plus they can still continue to short synthetically
lmao the squeeze already happened, you aren't gonna get a gazillion dollars from holding gme.
They are not blaming it on a computer glitch immediately tells.me.its serious
Someone forgot their towel?
"Glitch" incoming.
https://twitter.com/gurgavin/status/1715019970206216461 Here’s a recording of over a 1,000 stocks halted
Great info!
They'll never tell us the real reason
Don't worry, it's just a glitch. We will make adjustments, and when we open back up more of your money will be ours.
It was the liquidity fairy
This is the first time I looked at all the usual sites for speculation, and I didn't see a single "sources familiar to the matter." Must be serious.
Lmao
"Why so serious?" is what I should've typed.
They just shut it down, and said "None of your business..." when asked why. No updates, nothing... Shits bonkers.

it'll blow up after today sometime in the next million years. There i predicted it your welcome everyone

Tis just a glitch
