<Don't let the fact that trained professionals make mistakes blind you to the importance of training. I do concede that a gifted self-taught amateur with patience and persistence and good insight can do extremely well, but those people have the functional equivalent of professional training, the hard way. >

Very interesting observation... from my viewpoint: In the golf and skiing portion of my life I've met some real movers and shakers in certain area's of the country... lived in Jackson, Wy. for 2 years... NYC area, and now in Valley of the Sun... I was amazed at the number of folks who were financially 'super' successful who barely or didn't make it through [or didn't try] university, let alone advanced degrees. I-Bank side of wall street was one of the few places where advanced degrees mattered. Just an interesting anecdote, I realize your talking economists, which would coincide with my I-Bank type observation.
