superstar... I don't like the article.. its an advertisment to invest your money in stocks like UIS, CPQ, RTN, ANF, MAT, RAD, or the 'stock of the month club' which the money managers and full service brokers decide they want to push on their investors. Then they make out the individual investor to look like a developmentally delayed child playing with a computer. Your only salvation to come from mutual funds. I'm not buying that. That is not the case. Its manipulation same as Barron's knocking AMZN or even INTC or select nets, when our profits are getting out of hand and they are getting hot under the collar. If I hadn't saved my husband from the financial stocks and drug stocks months ago he'd still be holding them 'cause Vanguard says they will come back. Now that he's tasted the strong moving high flyers like IMNX, EMLX, MACR,BGEN, ALLR, ARTG, ARTC, BOBJ (he's had that one from 17) VIGN, BVSN he won't even give them up when they are down 6-7% (which is when I try to get my hands on them and sell) Whenever I read of what they are holding I always save the article.. I go back to the article weeks later and 9 out 10 the stock they bought that was 'low P/E and undervalued" was even lower P/E, more undervalued because it was simply lower in price. I think traders are more savvy (unless they get nuts on phcm) and want to be in control of their own destiny. The truth is that on line analysis companies like Zacks,Hoovers and Bloomberg ARE making our jobs easier. But of course you should buy a 'report' issued by Bank of Boston Robertson Stephens or some other brokerage for ONLY $50 to $150. Just go to multexinvestor.com and see what I mean. That is why they are making us look like stooges.
