RE:RE:Debt Thx for helping to clear that up.
Two other things often posted here, that need such discussion also:
1) Stock split: tutes don't care about shares, within reason, just $. They don't say, " we have 100k shares to invest." Rather, they say, " we have $7M to invest." And at least here in the States, retail can trade for free and buy as little as 1 share, or even less.
2) Boogieman: in the absence of thorough info, some retail investors fall back on, "it's someone else's fault." In 25 tears of visiting retail investor chat sites, I have yet to see anyone give solid evidence that the Boogieman is in control. For example, trading by a mkt maker doesn't necessarily mean that's for their inventory--you need the split between client money and house money.
