Think of how much they have spent trying to get you to sell. How much do the paid shills alone cost in total? How much is that worth to you?

They have the deep pockets.
They have the technology.
They have the experts.
They have the experience.
They have the resources.
And they're still fucked.
9 out of 10 times, Wall Street wins. But not this time.
