Ann: MEO completes share placement , page-27

I diverge from the discussion but want to highlight a key point on investment stratgy. Maybe its why there are so many people complianing about management, maybe they do have everything riding on MEO. My questions is, why would Mum and Dad investors go all in on MEO which is purely a SPEC stock. I am young and reasonably affulent professional so all my own Superannuation is purely with SPEC stocks. I can afford to lose it all but my supperannuation is my "spare" investment money. My investment strategy is high risk, I am young so I can afford the risk. I ask again why would MUM and Dad investors go all in with MEO? Its just plan irresponsible investing.
