They smile and tell me how retail investors are all fools and deserve to be fooled. It is absolutely sad how people can talk this way about other fellow human beings and traders. The justification such cheaters give is that the share markets are meant for making money and we do not offer social charity service. I accept we all here are to become wealthy - but not at the cost of fooling other innocent...

The kind of inflation experienced in countries like Zimbabwe, where $1,000 bills were worth less than toilet paper and often used as such by Zimbabweans. After all, gold is the only real currency the world has ever had, as gold bugs never...

Listen to the old Wall Street adage... "Prices can fall of their own weight, but it takes buying to put them up." One's first reaction might be to think, obviously(!)
