Long before brokerage ads portrayed truck drivers as investment whizzes, Lynch argued that individuals could spot good stocks on their own. At the same time, he doesn't like the direction some individuals have taken. He decried the short-term mentality of Internet traders who hold stocks for just a few minutes or days, and do almost no research. "That's gambling. That's not investing. You get the same results you get at the Casino, but with more paperwork". Even so, he says "The average investor is a lot saner than the average fund manager".
