A Dash of Insight: Do Internet and Media Resources Help the Individual Investor?
Exerpt:
Individual investors face significant obstacles. In trading their own accounts they consistently under perform the major averages. Mostly this comes from chasing performance from the prior year, poor market timing (mostly selling bottoms), investing based upon questionable macro theories, and trying for homerun stocks. Most do not realize these issues.
My thoughts today have been the urge to sell out of positions that I believe are good companies because they are in a downward trend. As the market is down across the board, weakness in individual stocks is part of the overall trend, not specific to the specific security.
