He wakes up at 6 most days, turns on CNBC, reads the financial newspapers, USA Today, online journals like "The Bull Market Report," Steve Harmon's "Internet Stock Report"; he scans the free message boards on Silicon Investor and Yahoo Finance for any mention of the stocks he's following, some timely nugget that big institutional investors -- firms like Fidelity or U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray -- got before the rest of the markets, reports on new research, hearsay of analysts' opinions, any other rumors of upgrades or downgrades that will turn out to be either dependable information or panic or borderline fraud.
