The capital markets are like a table, the stocks are like good looking food on it. Regulators are quality insurance. Insiders/management teams are the cooks.
At first glance as retail, it looks like a well managed buffet. After taking a couple bites, you start noticing spots of mold on the table. A foul smell like it was never cleaned before. Cooks and quality insurance are positive though, the food is A1 quality, the best of the best. You take a couple more bites, but the taste, there's something awfully wrong. You look closer and inspect the nice looking piece of cake in your plate, and see mold there too, and movement under the perfectly fine coating... it's infested with maggots, and you figure that the smell is from the food itself. The cooks and quality insurance look at you laughing, because you paid for it and there's no way they give your money back.
To those who think the markets are regulated with fairness in mind, think again. There are 2 different sets of rules. One for retails, that limits you to secondary market with lots of restrictions, and another one for big funds/scammers/insiders that guarantees to them a plethora of ways to defraud retails.
The only good way to invest long term and have a good probability to gain good ROI, is into large cap stocks going through an undervalued phase, with proven revenues and no need to raise funds through share dilution.
"The small cap space is a device to transfer $ from the secondary market participants to the primary market participants."
