capital raising, page-4

I don't agree but I guess you'd expect that. Retail investors are only "rooted" if they sell out because they have made the minuscule gain that is within their realm of expectation or expect to be able to trade and gain within short time frames. They are only "rooted" if they do not believe that however nasty they may think institutions to be ultimately they play the game so that they, and those they represent, can become filthy rich.

I don't like bots and HFT myself but high performance comes from having the maturity and flexibility to play the game "in context". I refuse to be spooked. I may, along with Pinto, gnash my teeth and drink another wine but I won't give in when the game is so clear and the history of the Board is pretty credible. You of course will, of course, do whatever you wish. We will both it seems, continue to disagree until one or other of us is faced with the future.
