Bots - and how they affect thingsAll,
Like many of you, no doubt, I have been quietly following the Twitter saga. I don't use Twitter...and neither am I a Musk fan...but it has been an extraordinary story - worthy of consideration.
Now it would seem that we are getting down to the short strokes...everybody has lawyers - and it is likely not going to be pretty. Discovery is discovery...the truth (or relevant bits of it, perhaps) will come out.
Reading the article below - and seeing the interest (and it could appear...enthusiasm) of the regulatory bodies in single-person/multiple identities and the percentage of fabricated bot traffic (and how it affects all financials of a business), I started thinking...What If?
What if those same regulatory bodies took some of their present zeal and applied it to the stock market as a whole (admittedly, we are focused on the mining side of things...but this algo-bot stuff is pervasive in the entire investing world)...don't you think things might change a bit?

Sooner or later, somebody will have the guts to look into this. It ain't just gold...they are ripping everyone off!
best to all,
