One interesting thing that happened today as I was selling my AMC stock/options is that they executed lightning quick. Normally Robinhood (especially this morning) takes time to sell these options, yet they were immediately picked up.

Would be crazy to think short sellers were buying up all the sell side stocks/options while retail were panic selling, to hedge against their shorts.




This feels so likely when only retail investors were banned from buying. Who exactly is buying up all these shares then? Fingers only seem to point in one direction.
