And while we are on the subject of pip traders, since the beginning of 2024 there have been 2,591,510,574 shares traded on the ASX alone of which the market maker along with those who are good enough, make a pip for every share bought or sold, I'll let you do the math.
Roll back to 2023 & 5,559,727,098. shares traded on the ASX.
So, between the Shorters, Insiders, Brokers, Market Makers, Fund Managers, Banks, Accounting, Advertising, Salaries, Research etc etc is it any wonder there's bugger all left for Retail when the range for the YTD is just 13c-.049c, churning at its finest.
It's a hard way to make an easy living regardless of us being a pip trader or a long-term investor.
Each to their own.
