From Westergaard:

TheStreet.com's James Cramer had an interesting piece yesterday about how Internet traders follow exactly the opposite logic of traditional investors. Traditional investors sell on news - figuring that once a news
item is public it's too late to invest - while Internet investors buy on
news, Cramer notes. He fails, however, to make the obvious inference: In
the Internet Age, when news is rapidly disseminated and small investors
have access to cheap, fast trades, the time lags that traditional
investors once counted on have evaporated forever.

Anyone read the Cramer piece?

Also look at
cbs.marketwatch.com

for an internet/biotech comparison.

Seems to me like in high-visibility areas like the .coms and to a lesser extent biotechs, the primary role of the brokers/analysts/institutions in setting stock prices (at least in the short run) is being eroded by individuals on internet sites like SI, Yahoo and the daytraders.

I'd love to know what the (non-member) lurker population on the various SI threads is. I wonder how many professional portfolio managers monitor these threads as well.

Peter (whose valiant attempt to short CYTL yesterday at around $10 was confounded by no shares being available at Fidelity).
