RE: the stockmarket is a sh*thole You're so right. Just look at the share price of Telus. Up, up and up over the years. Terrible. And look at their dividends. Returning all that money to their shareholders! What's that about. And not just Telus. Look at CN. Efficient modern railway. Increased is divy every year for the last 19 years. What a joke!
In other words, you're a poor investor. Take your nonsense elsewhere!
