<p>I purchased a 12-month subscription for my partner, and Anthropic never delivered the gift to their email, only sent me an invoice.<p>No response from customer service.. only their AI Agent Support.. Which has still not offered me a refund.<p>I may have to do a chargeback.</p>

<p>I agree that this is the technically correct definition of how margin is typically utilized, and that investors should be prepared for this in the case of high volatility.<p>The fact does remain, though, that the way the data is presenting itself seems to indicate that there was disingenuous behavior on the behalf of market makers and a number of hedge funds. To be seen, I guess.</p>

<p>Sure, no argument from me on here.<p>You have to admit, though - that is disingenuous. Those plays were profitable, no need to call them (unless there has been irresponsible behavior on the behalf of the broker)</p>

<p>This is blatant anti-competitive behavior on the part of Robinhood and Citadel.<p>As i say elsewhere - this margin call was FORCED by RH because they blocked users ability to buy shares as Citadel + others were ladder short selling to artificially lower the stock price of GME, forcing the margin call.<p>This is horrific, criminal, and should be prosecuted.<p>Ultimately, they know that their SEC Fine will be less than the $50B+ in losses they face from their irresponsible naked short selling.<p>Did we learn nothing in 2008? Are we just going to continue to allow wall street to get away with fleecing everyone else in America / the world?</p>

<p>For anyone saying, "Most likely trading on margin"<p>Remember:<p>This morning Robinhood conspired with Citadel to halt trading amid a short ladder sell to drive the price lower, allowing shorts to cover their losses with no competition.<p>This is blatant market manipulation and anti competitive behavior, and must be stopped.<p>Why does everyone insist on protecting billionaires who insist on playing the game with a different set of rules than the rest of us?</p>

<p>I am just getting started actually, so I will provide you more feedback as I complete part 1!<p>For starters, I found the pairing of the lecture, the code, AND the documentation to be particularly useful. The setup in anaconda really enables to you compare/understand inputs and outputs, which at least for me, is very helpful! Big fan of learning through practical application, which the aforementioned combo is well suited for, imo.<p>Kudos and thank you (and the team) very much for all of the hard work! I am not sure I'll be able to attend part 2 in person but I will be sure to follow along online. If I am ever in SF at the time of a course, I will certainly apply!<p>All the best.</p>
