Ya if anything I would have expected Robinhood to have been destroyed by WSB but it's still kicking at $14.48/share.

They did do a number on it though since it IPOd around $60 and even almost hit $90 there briefly before plummetting to around $8.

Reddit will probably do the same thing, start in the middle but a brief high and then plummet before finding an equilibrium about 1/4 of what reddit initially thought it would be worth.

Yeah, I'm very bummed they didn't kill robinhood. It remains a scumbag organization.
