I'm sure that is true for many people, especially those who
don't learn A TON about a topic before plunging into it - ie,
those who seek the easy, fast way to a goal.
However, there is plenty of non-biased info on the internet
for those who know how to read it - balance sheets, price
charts, etc. Even potentially biased info may be useful if
the reader knows there may be a bias behind it.
You may also have a bias - you don't make money if all your
clients stop doing transactions (unless you have wrap accounts,
etc) - even though you may be very honest and ethical, all of
us have biased views on things - for example, you like(d) Dell
as an investment, apparently for your clients and for your own
account.
Just pointing out that bias is everywhere, and that
plenty of knowledgeable investors do fine "on their own" - just
another area of life becoming dis-intermediated by the internet.
("dis-intermediated" = having the middleman removed, stripping
out layers in the middle). |
