It is 2018, the world is computer mad and we are almost completely computer dependent.i.e. information dependent
The sales today are all buys. How do I know this, well 2 are mine. We are told that it is a simple calculation between buy & sell price to give the Share Price. If the transaction is below the Share Price it must be a sale!!! What rubbish. Computer tecs are allegedly paid a fortune. Why is this so difficult to determine a buy from a sale.? It drives decisions the wrong way if it trades imply everyone is selling!
