    It seems like there is not much hope in this company.

    Peak price was 85.
    It has been moving between 8 and 13 for many months.

    But what else do you expect from HOOD: just look its MktCap of 9.253B (ie. has meanwhile become a coloss, ie. a titan which can't make any big jumps anymore). But Beta still 41% above the mkt, and the consensus on the 1y target is about 12.42 only; so long gone is the cited split-second peak of 85 (?) many years ago; the average Highest High seems to have been around $50.

    Well I hope you had some time to capture these 5% interest rates ....

    Seems wallstreet already begging and crying for lower rates from the fed. Some anticipating 3 4 5 even 6 Rate cuts. ...no need to cut rates anytime soon. Let the people with savings enjoy 5% on their money for a decade or 2 or 3. No need for any cut rates as everyone knows wallstreet just praying for rate cuts to keep markets propped up.

    When you say hope are you referring to seeing a return on investment in HOOd shares? Or them going bankrupt ?

    I doubt it would get cleared by the regulators, but I could be wrong b/c the buying of TD Ameritrade by Schwab was no problem at all, and TDA was/is even much bigger than HOOD.

    Unfortunately Nope :-( Had something else to do, didn't pay any attention to the outer World... :-(

    I think it's big politics: these high interest rates are still cheaper for the government.
    As I see it the govt has 2 choices:
    1) borrow money from the big bad banks
    2) borrow money from the people
    Currently the govt favors #2 as it still comes cheaper than borrowing from the big bad banks... :)
