great postings

Thanks for all that effort gassed explaining my question of what a 'bot' is/does. And as you have suggested,this 'bot' activity does not seem to make share trading a level playing field. Not one for mums and dads to be involved in any more I would think.
So I shall once again - tune out for a period and hope I dont miss any real excitement. ICN has been such a long long haul for me and as I have retired, I had expected it to be part of my super investment based on the information I was told so long ago about this company. But that was when we were drilling for oil! I wonder if companies are oil drilling again in Louisiana or have they given that area a wide birth?

Fingers Crossed and cheers, Val
