I'm saying they should be sued. So, yes, I am saying that. If you buy securities you can't sell, you're pinned and that's not right, is it. I'm not sure if Robinhood traders signed up to that. Free doesn't matter.

They still allow selling, just not buying.

Allowing only buying OR selling seems like a good lever to manipulate a stock price.

But who's buying if you can't buy? Limiting the audience that can buy reduces demand, and thus the price will be negatively impacted.

To me that suggests they're kowtowing to short sellers and manipulating the market.
