Gilder in WSJ on Outsider Trading Scandal interactive.wsj.com Today's issue. I can't really get my head around this. Logistically, that is. I find it difficult to imagine the alternative he proposes. I have always found this position of his odd, but he fleshs it out here in more detail. I'll keep an open mind on this. Loved this bit: ""Deprived of knowledge, investors become paranoid and jump at every movement in the shadows. They debate the implicit punctuation in speeches by Alan Greenspan. They weigh merger rumors down to the milligram. They speculate madly on what will be the next company deemed to hold an "ascendant technology" by the Gilder Technology Report. They contemplate technical charts and invest on the basis of "momentum" -- that is, in ignorance."" Remind you of anyone you see in the mirror every day? Here's another interesting quote: ""Inside information -- the flow of intimate detail about the progress of technologies and product tests and research and development and daily sales data -- is in fact the only force that makes any long-term difference in stock performance."" This from the champion of the Moore's Law and Gilder's Law paradigms. Comments?
