Have you read "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Malkiel? Have you heard of it?

We can never know too much. We should never stop learning. I agree. But no matter how many facts or how much information you have, in the end it still comes down to guessing what the institutions will do. You are right in saying that we can never know too much, but however much we know, it will never help us guess what a certain group of people will do going forward. I only invest based on what I know, with a few knowledgable assumptions about the future(ie use of IC's going forward). However, I try to minimize basing decisions on what I do not know and never will(ie. people's behavior).
