There is a system in place. Rules. It's set up to work

and provide ever increasing and rosy numbers. When someone games it, they're dealt with accordingly.

Here's a possible situation.....just a stab in the dark, but I can see it happening....

These people are not speculating in profits, or long term success. They're reading the tea leaves and seeing where to cash in on losses. Not unlike hedge funds, their competitors. However, hedge funds play a key role in the markets. They profit on losses. BUT, just like any investment funds, they are market driven. They always keep the money they make in play in the markets. That's their livelihood.

But 2 million people in their underwear doing 30 minutes of day trading are not in this game for long term investments. And they're not going to roll their profits from the losses into the market again, which is one of the key roles hedge funds play. They retain that capital after downturns and then people shift that money back into investing long term.

The whole balance is thrown off by these day traders shorting like the hedge funds. They will cash out and buy a Ferrari, or whatever. It can destabilize the markets massively. And collectively, they have the leverage via the internet in numbers to do individually, what massive hedge funds can't do collectively, and that's play the market with billions of dollars. Imagine having far more investors than a hedge fund, all individuals, and they get together and plan a stock run up and sale. It's all done online. Millions are involved. It's coordinated in ways a hedge fund manager could only dream of without getting arrested, and bewm, it works. Ok, so you going to arrest 2 million people for market manipulation? Do you go after reddit? They will move. It's a cat out of the bag thing I fear.
