>>> Well, back in the 80's and up to the early 90's it was fairly hard to invest in the market. It cost serious money to open accounts and even just to get delayed quotes. You were considered either brilliant or foolhardy if you dabbled in the market and practically no one you knew took the Wall Street Journal. There was a built-in barrier to entry. <<< Yes, back in the brave old days, my wife and friends thought I was a little nuts and foolhardy for getting involved with the market, and in the early years, they were right! :) But I was determined not to give up, and just avoided crashing the "home port" completely in the nick of time... It was very rough for a while, as I had to learn to act like a "trading robot" with little room for emotions to get in the way.
