My apologies to everyone on the board...

but I am on a roll at the moment:

If you have bought the QQQ heavily in the past few days.
If you just discovered we are in a bull market.
If you think stocks are dirt cheap.
If you just discovered who Alan Greenspan is.
If you just quit your job and are becoming a trader.
If you just started picking up Barron's.
If you just found out the difference between stocks and socks.
If you just found out bonds and debt are related.
If you think the stock market is the easiest game in town.
If you only impress your husband or wife with your financial acumen.
If you have to tell the world what an astute investor you are.

YOU ARE AN AMATEUR

Anyone else want to add to the list?

Big distinction is made in your post. You always
see professional investors take sole responsibility
for their performance. You also always see the
rank amateurs blaming others for their mistakes
while taking credit for their successes.
How many times have you seen an amateur brag of
their success in a given stock pick and then
throw the blame for a loser off on somebody else
that may have liked it. The truth of your post
is there for all to see.
