I don't have any problem with the gurus-- that a few of them are certainly skimming some money by moving thinly traded stocks from time to time is fine by me. I wish I were a guru, I'd take the money and run.
But none of that matters--if you're like me, you buy some stocks, you chat about them for fun, but nothing often comes of it. You and I are not going to get rich off the market--unless we are incredibly lucky, it's a fools game, buying and selling paper, crazy.
The smartest fellas were the guys who did internut IPO's these last six months, and have been cashing out--now that was the way to do it. If I had a MBA, I might have spent my savings and bought myself some good advice, figured out how to do an internut IPO--I had the beginnings of an idea, but realized I do not have the skills to work it up, certainly not the skills to sell it to somebody.
Gee, looks like I'm on yet another of my late night rants, and it is not going anywhere. Well, good luck with your thread 'lakers17', I cant really answer your question--I use the gurus from time to time to filter ideas, but have ended up with a basket of stocks that are not on anybody's list: That could be a good thing, and I'll be sure to come back if I am lucky, and somebody annoits me a guru. |
