Where do we begin? First of all, Robinhood was not the singular brokerage restricting buying in Gamestock (ticker symbol $GME) and the variety of other stocks that had restrictions placed on them. I personally use a direct access broker, and noted within the Trader’s Thinktank® that on Monday (1/25/21) they had rejected all options orders in GME. Much of what is discussed in this article will apply to most brokers. That being said, I’ll be using Robinhood in this article because they are the notable broker involved in this fiasco.
