The below screenshot is why you must learn to think for yourself. Not only is it more fun (if more work) but it’s also far more profitable. I bought AMD 80% ago, as I documented here.

When you follow the herd, all you see are asses. It’s too late when Goldman or some other analysis firm “upgrades” a stock. The action’s already done, most likely, and smart players have already made their money.

BTW, I also bought Amazon before it went up 915% when literally everyone said it was a bad buy. I love bad buys like that! Plan to make many more in the future.

Proof (highlighted in yellow) from the ol’ stock tradin’ account:

If you’re following the herd, you’re too goddamn late.
