It really surprises me how common this victim mindset is on HC. Specs are hard. 90% of them you will do your dough on over time (if you don't take profits). This is not the 'ASX' or 'manipulation' but you're inability to become a better researcher and trader and to understand the market you are in.

My own experience after 30 odd years investing is that you won't find a better place (and easier place) to make money (outside of maybe crypto) than with stocks, and while ASX is more difficult and illiquid than US bourses say, it also provides plenty of easy to invest in multi-bagger potentials.

Start looking to improve rather than to blame something else for your own lack of knowledge and skills.

On that note, I like where MRQ is at. Got some churning through supply to do but when it's done we'll be ready to close more of the valuation gap...
