Stock investing: Is it a Mystery or is it a Science?
Neither really. Even in this unprecedented information age where the Internet has essentially provided us all with another priceless tool in our arsenal, a cerebral extension enriching our existence, many financial professionals and gurus continue to profess that investing in stocks is like a complicated science where every common person should stand free and clear from.
With any content imaginable now being readily available online with just a few clicks, nothing can be further than the truth. Consequently the increase of accessible information online became power multiplied ten fold. Until approximately ten years ago only high powered Wall Street entities were privy to such information. Whether it be accessing market conditions, company announcements or conference calls, earnings reports, charts and technicals, etc., today the playing field has leveled off and it’s basically a "free for all" if you really crave it.
Like with any discipline, education is freedom and any topic can be mastered when supplemented with passion. Thanks to the Internet, we have arrived.
So profit from it!

DISCLOSURE: With its fair share of thrills and spills, I've studied many readings from several of the most popular financial theorists and mercenaries of the investing world. From Benjamin Graham's value investing techniques, to Philip Fisher, Gerald M. Loeb, Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, William O'Neal, and yours truly's school of "hard knocks" (no not the book!), I 've been riding the Wall Street stock investment wave since 1993. I am not a professional Wall Street trader but you can say I've graduated as a Wall Street aficionado, and remain a student since 1993. After all, Jesse Livermore was a student and mercenary who re-wrote the rules along the way ... an individualist and probably the most successful stock trader who ever lived.
