You could be right. At the same time those "in the know" have to be careful that they are not acting on inside information. And then again, I saw many folks buy based on what seemed like good information only to be foiled by a blind spot in their judgement, which usually took the form of drinking the company's positive propaganda cool-aid. So after that long winded story, that's why I still recommend mutual funds to everyone. If someone is willing to do the research, by all means feel free to try. I wish everyone the best of luck with their investing regardless of how they invest. Thanks again Virginia. Hope to see you again! Virginia – thanks for sharing your opinion. You could be right.

If you're a drug rep, you might know that a certain company is gaining mind-share of docs before that is reflected in the stock valuation, for example. In those cases, I think you can do really well picking individual stocks. I agree though that mutual funds, as long as fees are 10 year horizon.
