"Madamswear, your comments validate my long held gut feel that our sharemarket is not a level playing field."
Perhaps. But comments from the likes of @birdman29 and @SynQuasi are a reminder that many of us, in the long run, get what we deserve. I'm guessing that those that "don't give a rats" on the way up, are the ones that scream blue murder and demand class actions, on the way down.
So perhaps a level playing field is more than what many deserve.
