- Robinhood reenabled GameStop (GME) stock purchases on Friday, but limited the number of shares each user can purchase.
- The limit dropped from five GME shares per user to just one, but a Redditor found a way to circumvent Robinhood’s new trading rule.
- The trick involves taking advantage of a Robinhood trading feature not many people might be familiar with, placing call orders, and then exercising the right to purchase the stock immediately.
There’s a brief ceasefire in the GameStop (GME) stock war, but that’s only because there’s no stock trading over the weekend. Redditors have flocked to GME and other stocks in recent weeks to battle against hedge funds' short bets. They’ll probably resume the action as soon as premarket trading starts on Monday morning, with GME having closed at $325 on Friday. But buying can be incredibly tricky, as users have found.
Robinhood, which is probably the world’s most hated trading app after Thursday’s events, still has restrictions in place. Users can only buy a limited number of GME stock with the app. That’s unless they use a brand new trick that lets anyone purchase as much stock as they want, provided they have the funds to cover the trade.
