I don't compete for shares. I purchase them. Unlike you, I invest rather than speculate.

Cute but flawed. Try buying 1,000,000 shares in RBD at 1 cent on Monday and see if your offer is "competitive".
There are other buyers and sellers out there competing against you irrespective of your outlook.
Purchasing something is the easiest thing in the world to do. Negotiating an outperforming deal is something altogether different.

Your example is incomprehensible and I suspect meaningless as a comparison.
The example was demonstrating that even something as simple as a share purchase is a competitive process - if you really want to own RBD... or a Toyata... try going out there with 1 cent and seeing how many of each you pick up? Potential buyers are going to be ahead of the queue just by offering an extra cent, let alone tens of thousands of dollars more. My apologies for being so arcane.
Investing is a highly competitive process, an easily measurable process and there are plenty of poker players in the game offering a patsy a deal.
