Good time to buy in Commonwealth Bank stock?
And they mean exactly what they say.
The class war is already underway - the financial elite are actively fighting it, and winning by forfeit because the rest of us are mostly split into those who don't see the attacks and those who see them but misassign the blame for them.
But think of the widow and orphan shareholders. 😢
Taking shareholder money back. Yes. That seems to be the point.
Exactly. If this is stealing from shareholders to pay customers, it's because the original fees were stealing from customers to pay shareholders.
Then the shareholders shouldn’t hold shares in that bank. Simple as.
To me it's a legal argument that I can sue each share holder for their portion.
Burn the shareholders.

Yes, that's correct, crime should not pay.
good, do it even more.
Wow. Just wow.
