Its very different. Speculating on a market vs taking over a sub after being inactive for years to get into the spotlight when it's in the news is not comparable at all.

agreed, I think in this case reddit made the correct (or "least bad") decision. I just find it amusing that users of a subreddit dedicated to getting rich quick by making wild bets would complain about a mod cashing in on their position. it's sort of like a graffiti artist complaining about someone defacing their work.

WSB (read the name) is for gambling, not exploiting or defacing anything, so there's no reason members would condone trashing their home for money.
