. . . . . . . . . .On Individual Investors. . . . . . Very interesting article, Heather. Cramer does like throwing a wrench into the works as often as he can get away with it. Personally, I don't think individual investors have done quite so well by and large. . . and believe we still have much to learn before we "beat the pants off the pros." Our intelligence data needs improvement. . .our market insight still requires glasses. . . and our mode of communication needs to move into the 90's. I am working to remedy these issues. . . but it can't be done single handedly. The individual investor, which I like to call the I.I. [pronounced Aye, Aye] needs to get like minded to REALLY win. As long as we stay divided. . . playing different stocks . . .longs vs. shorts . . .my stocks better than your stock. . .we will struggle. But there is a growing group of renegade investors that have that "Stewart" mentality. . .where they want to "sock the market in the gut a few times. . turn it upside down and shake out all that spare change you've been grabbing from me." This is a far more aggressive group of serious, skilled and disciplined investors. . .that are tired of playing a game that is loaded against us. . . .and wish to turn the tables by using our increasingly improving real-time information. . and applying skill, tactics, strategies and desire. It is a fight. There is no question about it. The lines have been drawn. We didn't draw them. But we will be the ones to erase them. This group goes much farther than the I.I. They desire more and are willing to invest more time to meet their lofty, but attainable goals. So I have dubbed this renegade group the "Independent Individual Investors Insurrection Initiative" or the I.I.I.I.I. LOL! You have to ask yourself how motivated you are to win. . . are you satisfied with modest gains that imitate the S&P 500? Or are you wanting to change the way the industry runs. . . devalue the brokerages and dethrone the Fat Cats. . .claim your piece of that pie. . . and let the criminals play the state lotteries for their winnings? When the market gets manipulated, do you say I.I.I.I.I.? If so, then there is much work to be done. . . . . . . if not then, "it's time to rub the bunions, Johnny." Rande Is
