Only a conceited, bigheaded, bag of wind would post the following:
Did you post this M.F.?

When I first started reading SI I realized that if the profile of the average SI member was similar to the profile of the average American stock buyer, this market was in trouble. This country's economy has been built by long-term strategically thinking entrepreneurs, not by the unsophisticated short-term greedy investor that is so prevalent on the internet.

In one of the books I have read many years ago I found a description of today's average investor:

"I never hesitate to tell a man that I am bullish or bearish. But I do not tell people to buy or sell any particular stock...But the average man doesn't wish to be told it is a bull or bear market. What he desires is to be told specifically which stock to buy or sell. HE WANTS TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. HE DOES NOT WISH TO WORK. HE DOESN'T EVEN WISH TO HAVE TO THINK. IT IS TOO MUCH BOTHER TO HAVE TO COUNT THE MONEY THAT HE PICKS UP FROM THE GROUND."
