The fact that so many of these bandwagoners didn't understand what a margin call is demonstrates that Robinhood was right to save them from themselves.

Melvin Capital got the margin call. Presumably they were already familiar with the concept.

It's been a while since I did this, but last time I transferred shares from one brokerage to another, it took several days.

It seems to me that if you are holding GME, the last possible thing you want is being stuck in a position for a while.

For this particular case, it might be a better choice is to liquidate your position, cash out and just open another brokerage account. I know this is the total opposite of what the WSBs are looking for but the alternative is transferring a position with $50k and when you can trade again its only worth $500.
