TORONTO - Canadian regulators have said they will act if they see abusive or manipulative trading, as Reddit and other social media sites stoke stock mania.
But experts say that legal action is not straightforward: it depends on whether rallies in stocks like BlackBerry and GameStop are co-ordinated and harmful or simply cases of contagious excitement.
Itâs a debate thatâs playing out on the forums themselves.
