but robin had a goal.goal that drove him through his recovery. exactly five months from may the 3rd is october the 3rd. so i decided that on that day i would climb cornwall‘s highest mountain, brown willy, and try and raise £100,000 towards a garden at cornwall‘s hospital because i think every hospital in the country should have a healing garden in it, and let's start with cornwall. it was exciting to have him home but it was also quite nerve—racking as well. we were in lockdown for two weeks once he came home, so no one came near us. and that's quite scary, i'm not a nurse and i didn't know whether i was going to have to do major nursing or not. he was very thin and had lost about a stone and a half. so we had a lot of work to get him back on his feet again. he could hardly walk a few yards when he got home on a zimmer frame. it just takes a bossy woman and a certain amount of threats and he would do what i had told him. so we borrowed a mobility scooter, we borrowed an exercise bike and we have done a lo

my name is robin hanbury—tenison.urvived five weeks in intensive care with coronavirus. the moment when i actually woke up and i knew i was going to live was the moment when i was wheeled out by four nurses in a big bed with tubes coming out of everywhere and i arrived in the healing garden they've got at derriford. i opened my eyes, saw the sunshine, saw the flowers and that was the moment when my life was saved by the healing power of nature. he may be a veteran of 30 expeditions, but surviving coronavirus would prove to be one of robin hanbury—tenison's toughest experiences yet. but here he is leaving hospital to the cheers of the nhs staff who cared for him. during the darkest days of his illness, robin's family had been told if he did survive, the impact of the virus would very likely be severe and long—lasting. it was quite a shock to be told that i might never walk properly again. recovery after intensive care is like a marathon and every step feels hard and feels challenging and it's made up of a million diffe

robin hood did impose more restrictions on these securities this friday than how is robin hood going to shake out after all of this. ok so a couple predictions for you number one i absolutely believe robin hood is done i mean as far as retail investors why would why would anyone even go there why would you use this platform ever again it's already proven itself to be a complete set up for wall street but there's also been a couple of articles that have come out in the last couple of days which are pretty fascinating and what they're saying is that robin hood was never set up in a way to make money off of those retail investors that wall street firms in those wall street firms are then acting based upon the data of what's happening on the retail side if that is the case it also explains why on thursday evening robert who was able to get a 1000000000 dollar investment from some of its existing investors to help prop it up the truth is i think the they always been torn this is a problem what is the exact opposite it's not the company that takes from the rich and gives the poor it's the

let's focus on robin hood.equences moving forward in the legal realm, the realm of public pr, could it get worse than it has over the past 24 hours, what do you think? >> reporter: on the legal side we have to find why they restricted trading. were they responding to pressure from the hedge funds? were they responding to pressure from that side of the business? they lock -- make a lot of money sending orders to marketmakers. they make money providing information what is happening on their platform. was in the hedge funds? was at the marketmakers? that is question number one. on the reputation front there is a potential huge hit here. people look to platforms like robin hood to lift up the little guy, give voice to the little guy. what we saw yesterday was exactly the opposite. people who use that platform are very mad about it. they want the real story and are not going to be satisfied that robin hood is protecting them. at this point in america people are saying let me have my voice, let me live with the conse

robin hood had a stash furious -- furious. robin hood had an issue like this in the past.n ipo this year. it is a crucial time for them, and they are losing customers left and right who are really angry, not to mention more regulation might come into the fore. i've been speaking to a lot, and they are resigned to the fact they think regulators are going to come in, do things like raise margin requirements for traders trading with derivatives. they see that there will be a permanent change to the industry in reaction to what's going on because in their mind, they think regulators are going to view us as a casino, as an arcade, when we are selling really sophisticated products that are well priced. but i think that the risk that regulators see happening right now, they're going to take action, and that could have a lasting impact. matt: all right, you definitely have to be ready for these issues, i think, before you open a business and put customers in this kind of situation. we'll see how this turns out for robin hood. certainly online, they're pretty unpopular on wall stre

was tried for the murder of robin samsoe. >> one of the stories that marianne connelly, robin's mom,e really didn't care about anything else at that point. she wanted to avenge her daughter. >> in those days, they didn't have metal detectors, or they didn't use them, so she got into the courtroom. >> i remember she was very calm. she just kept saying, everything's going to be okay. everything's going to be okay. >> the trial began, and she had her hand on her purse. and she was ready to kill the man who had murdered her daughter. >> i do remember her telling me that she heard robin's voice and told her not to do it. so she had changed her mind. >> on may 8, 1980, the jury on the robin samsoe case deliberated less than five hours. >> rodney alcala was convicted and sentenced to death. he was taken to san quentin where he was put on death row. several years later, an appeal came up, and to everyone's shock and sorrow and horror, the case was repealed. >> the verdict was overturned by the california supreme court because the justices determined that the jurors in the trial had been impr

robin hood itself is in trouble. "new york times" a says it's looking for a billion dollars worth of extra capital. okay. i think they will get it. i think they haven't already. here's the debate, should robin hood restrict trading? many investors are mad as hell and some are filing lawsuits. facebook has taken down the popular robin hood stock trader site and seems to me that's censorship. should politicians intervene? maxine waters wants hearings, far left congressman once a stock trading packs, let it-- never let a good crisis go to waste. there's also the question of contagion, that is spreading volatility to the rest of the market, spreading the unease. here's the state of play with a half-hour to go before the opening bell. the dow jones will be lower, s&p down about 16 and the nasdaq up about 68 points. that will change as we get closer to the opening bell. remember this, earnings reports are coming in a strong. the economy is growing, the pandemic caseload is coming down, but gamestop, robin hood in this onli

here's an add from robin hood that ran -- ed from robin hood that ran last month. >> remember when greed good, when you had to look the part, when you had to pay for a seat at the table? we set out to change it the way the system works, to put the power in everyone's hands, to make it feel, speak, sound and look just like you. we all invest every day in ourselves, our communities, our future. we are all investors. >> tucker: ha-ha. it's so fun to watch that stuff after the fact. that ran a month ago! we set out to change the way the system works, says robin hood. well, that's for sure. in fact, that's literally true. robin hood changed the system at precisely the moment when people from outside the system started benefiting from the system. sorry, trolls, no trading for you. we're lockerring your account. other platforms took effectively the same position but pretended more than robin hood did. they justified changing the rules by attacking the very people they were hurting by changing the rules. the communication service discord, for example, banned users from the wall street bets group

robin hood online brokerage has been one of the hottest been use for investors in retail trading. now it's a target of disgruntled customers celebrities and politicians here's the latest on that robin hood shares in the u.s. store game stop were down until a chat group on reddit recently banded together to buy stocks that sent the company skyrocketing undercutting major hedge funds who were shorting the stock but on thursday those shares tanked after robinhood restricted purchases of new stocks of game stop on top of that robinhood also blocked a new trades in several other companies including amc blackberry and nokia which were also soaring because of the chat group users on the app can still close out positions but can't buy more adaptive da blogger dave portnoy says robin hood can't just try to block online trends simply because they don't favor traditional trading there's no way to force you to add and that's why things we want to get or you can just pick up and change the rules at a whim whenever you feel like it like why can't a bank if i make a deposit just say that's our m

want to read it chat group banded together to buy the stocks using amateur trading platforms like robin hood so how did a retailer on the verge of collapse suddenly become the center of attention and mature investors poured money into game stop to raise its share price the retailer is regarded as the most shorted stock on wall street shorting or short selling is one investment firm such as a hedge fund tries to make money by betting that a company's share price will fall the hedge fund borrows shares in a company from other investors and sells them on the markets at a higher price then waits for the price to drop and buys them back pocketing the profit. the surge in trading drove game stop value up by more than $10000000000.00 on wednesday alone robin hood has temporarily imposed restrictions on buying the stock we absolutely did not do this at the direction of the market maker or hedge fund or anyone we were out to or other market participants so we're really unprecedented. in order to protect the firm and protect our customers we had a few limited buying in these stocks investors are

for the short sellers but on thursday the surgeon share price was halted when brokerage apps like robin hood barred users from buying game stop stocks a move that's left many small investors furious. more on that fury from robots from the w. business what have you and brokers like really not been saying why are they blocking trades in these companies now you know they've been very clear to point out that they haven't been you know got to buy dark market forces that want to stick it to the little guy i mean actually robin hood for a statement saying to be clear this was a risk management decision and was not made on the direction of the market makers we root to so what's behind this is the fact that brokerage apps like robin hood at times of market volatility particularly we're seeing with with game stock are required to give more money to what are called clearing houses these are the organizations the coordinate the transfer of cash between the buyers and sellers and also the movement of the shares the money that the brokerage has to put forward is kind of like a. security deposit secur

robin hood is still the number one top three app.once again reducing the amount of securities that customers can buy on the platform. this morning they reopened trading of names like gamestop they are reducing the amounts of shares from five shares from a list -- amc, gamestop, koss, bed bath & beyond, and american alliance they just updated that blog post to update customers here they did open that up again today. jon, back to you you did say amc? >> yes, that's right >> we had amd up on the screen i wanted folks to make sure it's amc, one of those stocks heavily shorted. >> yes >> robin hood traders were piling into. it makes one wonder, lindsey, especially after the mea culpa we heard from robin hood's ceo lost night, talking about opening up trading, we wondered if they were going to mend fences how will the robin hood traders take this? >> i think any trader stuck in this situation will be frustrated, but at the same time some of these smaller brokerages is where we're seeing a lot of customers want to go to start trading becaus

first off, you have a take on this gamestop robin hood controversy. does the administration or do you think the administration or the sec or cftc whatever it is should start to poke around? >> first of all i'm trying to digest the idea of being a kid it's been a long time. thank you, sully when i was a cnbc commentator i would bite off a question like this and chew it up and throw it back at you. now i'm part of a big team and the key point of your question for me is sec. security and exchange commission it is their job not mine to comment on market movements especially daily especially individual stocks. the s.e.c. is on the case. and they'll be reporting in -- in fact they've already released a statement on this which i commend to viewers i think the important thing from our perspective is that the biden administration is looking past day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month ups and downs in the stock market it is not a score card for us. and while lots of growth has occurred at the top of the k-shaped recovery if you will we still have very signifi

brian: i watched the robin hood interview on cngc.n't say i want stock advice from are charles payne or brian kilmeade. the truth is i washed this robin hood ceo who seems a little overwhelmed at the moment. and he had to evidently draw a line of credit from between 500 million and 600 million. steve: he needed a million-dollar bailout. he needs more cash to cover heightened margin requirements. so he's in trouble. what i really care about is not that guy. i care about a guy like daniel lee who is 22 years old from los angeles, quote: a lot of regular hardworking americans have been putting their money and hoping and praying that they get something out of it touring a time when everyone is struggling. i felt like it was not just betrayal but completely unethical in so many ways. that's what we will talk to dave portnoy does a lot of day trading and made millions of dollars on it 2 hours and 45 minutes and experts along the way. i believe the one thing that happened that i didn't think was possible. democrats and republicans are united

but that's really not what's happening especially with robin hood, what robin hood has done in termsuying and only selling because that does benefit the hedge funds. so really what you have here as the music is stopping, you have the small investors which everybody was cheering for, look what they did to the hedge funds. in the reality, those are the people that are going to get hurt the most. but in comparison to 1999, this is far greater, it's a far larger scale of what's happening right now. neil: but, you know, david, you think about it, it has rejiggered interest on the part of individuals looking at stocks famously shorted and whether they're buys. now they go to the other extreme, but i'm thinking really american airlines benefiting, nokia, obviously we mentioned amc and some of these others, that people are looking at issues that when shorts have a big position -- nothing like 140% position -- but they're getting a whole new look. i'm wondering what you make of that. >> well, they're getting into the action, and they're furious now that while they were able to buy yesterday,
