In the trading spotlight: Massachusetts regulators are seeking to revoke Robinhood's license as a broker-dealer in the state, accusing the firm of "aggressively inducing and enticing trading among its customers" - plus Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn blaming Chamath Palihapitiya and Elon Musk of throwing "jet fuel" on the GameStop trading frenzy.
