Some UH students were among the many who were left frustrated in the aftermath of the GameStop stock debacle that has left Wall Street shaken.
Robinhood, a popular trading and investing app, restricted transactions of GameStop stock after its value skyrocketed in the past few days. Some, like finance student Trevor Woeste, have not taken it well.
“I think it is absurd that trading platforms are allowed to just ban people from buying shares of certain stocks willy-nilly,” said finance student Trevor Woeste. “People have already said this, but it is similar to unplugging the controller to a video game because you are losing.”
