Restaurants will always cater to and seat "big money" patrons, particularly those that frequent their establishments and spend big, before us common folk.

It's never palatable to think you are a second class citizen, but in capital markets, it's a reality. Speed of execution & underwriting certainty are two relatively obvious attributes that insto placements offer vs the long-drawn out retail process.

Ultimately, as retail "small money" investors, we can buy and sell much easier than instos. So, the playing field does get leveled out to some degree.

Anyway, let's hope Chris and Co know what they are doing and will ultimately create more wealth for us small fry.
