Because of their insight and knowledge of the business, investment options, and trends? Just curious. I would imagine ordinary folks may be able to be money savvy to a certain level over time but probably still no equal to the pros who breathe finance/accounting/banking work night and day.
cybe’s made a very interesting point. I guess “ignorant” could be a “blessing” in the investment world LOL? Perhaps the more one knows, the more confidence, the more risk one may take, and the more money one may make – or lose?

I want to invest but i dont know how much when & where…
Basically, I have little knowledge of how the stock market works, and I just want to get started. What I really want to know is how stocks and the stock market works, how to play the market – things like that. In fact, if there’s recommended reading on the subject for beginners, that’d be great too. Any other advice about particular stocks, or even advice about other preferable investment options, would also be greatly appreciated.
