Basically this. It's already illegal to be classified as a "pattern day trader" if you have less than $25,000US in your securities account - a rule designed to freeze average people out of the market. Wouldn't be surprised if we see perhaps an extension of this rule or a modification, as the current system allows for three "day trades" every five days. Probably will be changed to one or zero.

They're going to have to share the stock market with these plebeians trading equally with the financial elite and they're going to have to do so knowing that every time the normal people win that money is gone, because unlike the rich financial class when Main Street gets money they actually spend it, sure some of the winners will reinvest but for the most part they have practical things to use their stock winnings on.

Things will go back to the status quo soon enough. Manipulating the market as proletarians will be declared illegal or something and the rich will continue to get richer.


you know I think we found a ground level where commies and capitalists can agree on. Hypothetically we both want everyday people to have value.

True, and I think a lot of us realized that we all hate Wall Street. WIth class consciousness on the issue, maybe we can do something about it!

The rich will get richer anyway the question is that some of the rich might embrace this new system as a way for them to get richer at the expense of the rich people who can't adapt, they might in fact support continued proletarian antics if it means they can ride the wave created by the masses.

It'll likely be Old Money, the Media, and the Status Quoers versus the proletarians, the New Money, and the Activist Investors. It'll be an interesting fight.

That's true, and while they're still enemies of the people it's good to have bourgeois infighting.

We should restart the occupy movement. This would be a great jump off point.

We should do more. This is plenty already but it's never enough when you can do more and generate more trickle down tears from the bankers and investors.

At least this time Occupy would have a legit reason to occupy actual wall street, after all this time they're investors too.

Considering the police response to occupy, it clearly did plenty. Thats why the FBI was so invested in spying on them.

That's somewhat true, which is why we need to learn from the mistakes of Occupy 1.0 and adapt accoringly. Still, it scared big money.
