I lot of shares are nothing but a scam to suck mum and dads investments - pump some money into advertising from glossy reports and PR... build it up and then dump. Also it leads a foot into Australian assests by overseas interests once they become broke. Need stronger gov regulations, you would think it would be concerning to the gov that the weatlh of Australians super and savings stays in Australia as well as Australian assets. There is more regulations in Council Parking fines then their is in the shares I hold. This does remind me of MMX! It is so hard to tell these days because of the way shares are bought and sold on the internet if a stock is going up or down because it is worth something or just being manipulated. The share market is not for investing it is for gambling, keeping your money under your mattress was once a safe way to invest!
