RE: They don't trade or announce for us...they do it for themselves. Plain and simple. Then why do the go public with their interviews and comments to the press? Is it all ego driven? Perhaps some of them have another motive. It seem akin to the developer of a computerized stock trading program. If it works for the developers, why would they want to sell it to the public? RW

Eddie, now you're getting smart <ggg>. They're not stupid like we like to say on this thread. They're anything but. They have their own agendas, which is not what you hear on CNN (IMHO). Well-informed investors can take advantage of this. Actually, my earlier point should have been that small doesn't contradict well-informed, but many small investors are not well informed, which, at fundamentals, I think was your point. BTW, I don't lump myself with well-informed investors; I think of myself as a struggling-to-learn investor (aspiring well- informed investor). That makes me smarter than those who don't struggle, or who blame their failures on the big guys who take advantage of small investors. It doesn't make me a smart investor, though. <big sigh>

Ed, You know, sometimes I can't help but think the analysts 'make' the news ( much like the media does on other areas ) rather than report he news, in order to generate those big profits and buy those big houses! They make money on both sides ( buy and sell ) of the transaction, therefore 'churning' the stock is in their 'best' interest, not necessarily the 'investors' best interest! I'm not saying that 'all' of them are churning, but you get my drift! Ken
