is it only me who has this sickening feeling?
It's not too much fun to be a small fish among hungry sharks. Sure you hope for some leftovers from their table but...... you can become their next meal also. You know almost nothing of really important and timely things which have actual meaningful value in your buy/sell/hold decision (just one example out of hundreds if not thousands others - derailment of EndDo trial. These INFOs are called confidential. Yaa, very confidential indeed. You can't get a hold on this info no matter what. You swim in dangerous waters infested with predators being almost blind, having almost no sense of smell, knowing almost nothing of real investment value. When finally YOU ARE LET TO KNOW THAT INFO, ITS TOO LATE IN 99% OF CASES. Why??? Answer is simple - without that knowledge investment in fact is becoming almost exactly like gambling vs reasonable and solidly justified and supported by evidence choice. That's the key - in my experience almost always stocks will slide, slowly but surely, you know nothing, understand nothing then comes the news explaining that sh eeet...... but surprise surprise it's obviously TOO LATE. "somebody", yes that known to nobody "somebody" was selling all along...... Simple indeed. Should I remind, just as example, EndDo fiasco again?
So, dear fellow investors, here we are - combatants are exchanging barbs, confidential info here, confidential info there..........
and we have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, DO WE?
