Bob Brown takes the helm from Paul Watson

[Black Orchid]

Certainly not pulling a stunt that costs normal mum and dad investors money. Here's a definition of peaceful for you

peace·ful
/ˈpēsfəl/
Adjective
Free from disturbance; tranquil

Do you find the panic and ultimate loss of investments suffered by ordinary people 'peaceful and free from disturbance ' Boxy?

[Black Orchid]

Why exactly did people believe some random guy making such a statement?

Because random guy pretended to be ANZ bank honcho with fake email address and all and answered the phone as such

And then they just handed over their account details and password?

No. They sold their shares at a loss

It seems too hard for you to grasp

Shakes head

Anyone who thinks they can make money on the Stock Market (without losing) is stupid. Even more stupid are retirees who think they can become millionaires with their super. Gamblers NEVER win.

LOL, in context you numpty. That would make the "peaceful protest" a tautology, as all protest is a disturbance.

No, in this context you would be looking for "not involving war or violence", ie. non-violent protest, which this is.

You're not very good at this, are you?

I was pointing out the obvious similarity to Nigerian email scams. It's pretty amazing that people didn't confirm the information directly from the source (rather than calling a number supplied by the email) when so much was at stake.

Shares are a long term investment and if viewed as such usually reap gains

Retirees have had their super invested in many ways for many years, including shares. I very much doubt they grab a small amount of money they have hidden under the mattress, invest it in the stock market and expect to become instant millionaires. Really

Royalty cheque, fucker!

[Black Orchid]

Moylan and and an activist group, Frontline Action On Coal, created the fake media release, using a real ANZ statement as a template, bought a website name and a dummy ANZ email address for about $25 on the internet

Well it didn't come in an email from Nigeria did it?

I guess everyone isn't as smart as you Boxy

You keep changing the bar. Maybe you should stick to and/or define which direction you are heading in. I am guessing you are now off on a tangent about the intelligence of investors?

[boxy]

Not really. Just amazed he could get away with it.

Yes. But ... It is still a gamble. They are better off putting $20 notes down the pokies. The ONLY safe way is a CASH investment (Government Bonds). If you haven't made it by the time you are "retirement age" FORGET it.
