Ole, we've just caught us a ringer!!!!!
Just how did this "Donald" know my heavy loser was ECO? I did not mention it. My number of shares and my buy in position are known to no one on this thread (or on S.I. until now). ding-ding-ding. How many more ringers will the bell of truth toll over?
<<You cannot compare a securities market to a commodities market, especially as you insist on bringing up the idea of "manipulation". Securities are instruments that are tightly controlled, with settlement through DTC (although you can cut out DTC, the exchanges and NASDAQ and the brokers, but few people do it). For better or for worse, ownership of publicly traded stocks is public information. Contrast that with gold. You and I can easily trade gold amongst ourselves. There are no legal barriers, that I'm aware of, to ECO selling its gold directly to a jewelry manufacturer, a central bank, or a private bullion investor. (Although I think I heard somewhere that in the US, gold may only be transported via USPS. There's some weird rules out there.) These calls for transparency in the gold market are not rational. You have no right to know how much gold I'm hoarding. And any push to get me to disclose how much gold I own makes the market LESS free, not more so.>> |
