Why You Should Ignore Stock Recommendations from "Experts"
Comments

Content: FAIL. A new report from Bloomberg News finds that equity analysts are not only wrong when they list “best buys,” they’re spectacularly wrong. For all of their computers, MBAs, and six-figure bonuses, they follow the herd into stocks that underperform. Mutual fund managers do the same. As a group, they rarely beat the market as a whole. You think you’re “safer” in a manager’s hands than in your own. The opposite is more likely to be the case. You can read the rest if you're interested, but the paragraph above get to the heart of it. So, what's the alternative if you can't rely on the experts? I think you can guess. ;-)
