It's as fair as any retail vs. wholesale transaction. Everyone ahead of retail in the marketing chain gets to pick their profit margin, and the retail customer foots the bill for everything - manufacturing overhead, materials, packaging, shipping, warehousing, stocking the shelf...

In fact, "retail" is from the Latin root "Rei" meaning Royally, and "Tail" meaning screwed in the Tail End! I think they mean the Tail End of the series of transactions which bring a product to market, not screwed in the...

But anyway, mu point is that non-retail anything usually makes out better than retail anything.

So THEY get a built in profit of over 2 milly and when retail investors risk their capital, they get lied to and lose 80% or more. Seems fair - thx !

No. Not the same thing unless a retail investor buys a public offering of new shares. I doubt most of us have done that. When you trade in the secondary market you are risking your capital without direct benefit to/exchange with the company. The immediate profit is the price Titan paid in order to get funding. Aspire needs incentive to put up good money on a risky investment. It's called capitalism. If you are unhappy with this, start your own hedge fund and you can enjoy the same type of "immediate profits."
