They don't work for investing purposes except for the occasional isolated story. All the traders love the action, so have fun in the casino.

Index investors are looking at a lost decade or more pretty much, and maybe more to come.

>>From my personal perspective, spreads are narrower and liquidity is better than in the old days.

I agree with that.

I also think that the market seems to do a better job of setting the market price closer to the value of the stock. That does make producing out-sized gains harder.

It used to be much easier for me to identify value that the market was missing.
