the market is clean...what?, page-37

I'm fascinated by the very authoritative way you post madam/adam especially as you're a self confessed index hugger, only ever having held blue chips, and only now venturing out into the exciting world of biotechs.

Blue chips holders are usually set and forget types. Somehow you've gone to an impressive amount of trouble to explain what you think is going on, or not going on in the market. Presumably we should all be reassured.

But the truth is, the market is not transparent, as you demonstrate even in the limited context of how it's possible to hide holdings and avoid disclosure. In the next breath you then tell us not to worry, as it's not illegal.

What? There is a lot that is illegal in other countries such as the US, and is legal here. It's not conclusive as to what should be the case, ESPECIALLY what is in the interests of retail investors, to simply say "it's ok, it's legal".

By definition you can't have all the relevant data, and being able to trace where trades are sourced from is basic. You haven't registered that manipulation might occur over the longer term, to establish trends, and trigger stop losses (a favourite tactic) and not make sense on a daily or even weekly basis. There are clues to manipulation, but it's a very complex field indeed. ASIC has new data matching capabilities but the devil is in the detail as you seem to know.

Fascinating that you claim to have such certainty about what's not going on though, especially for a relative market outsider. Or is it insider? On one of your posts you said you were an insider about to retire. Hard to keep up.

The burden of proof? That's what ASIC has a problem with see, because they're both under-resourced, and dealing with cutbacks. You don't look properly? You don't find. There's something vaguely reassuring about that?? Only possibly maybe and sort-of and no, not really. No.

Presumably you think that the market should be self-regulating and we all should go back to sleep and put our 'tinfoil hats' away as one trader keeps saying?

Oh the invisible hand of the market! If only it wasn't trying to make an incision into retail investor's hip pockets and to surgically remove their wallets while they sleep....oh, your stops were triggered. We know what your stops are because we lent you the money. Sorry.

Put another way, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you...(little joke that...just for the anti tinfoil hat brigade who will leap on that with great glee no doubt).

Sorry, I'm not even faintly reassured by your post. There are internal contradictions. Especially as you don't even think it necessary to disclose your own position or sentiment. Knock knock. who's there? a friend of ASIC.

Let's look at the basics again: MSB has very few stocks on issue, and is quite possibly, is a blue chip in the making (which as a former blue chippy man, explains your interest).

Meanwhile the effort that traders put into disparaging the stock, the CEO and the technology could be better put into either some decent research, or at the very least, post charts to with commentary to justify their interpretations and claims.

Glad you are coming to terms with the technology though, madam/adam. It's progress, sort of.
