Schwab’s restrictions came down to:

1. Increased margin requirements for GME 2. Restrictions on naked strategies

Both of these are pretty much acceptable on a very volatile stock. They never prevented you from buying the stock or options. I think including Schwab or TD in this is near misinformation because 99% of users wouldn’t make use of the features that Schwab ended up restricting

Right, can’t short sale and 100% margin requirements. How is that newsworthy or anything to Wimp about.
