Congratulations on composing one of the most insightful posts I have ever read.
"Early in this work Mr. Levitt brings to the public's attention what "Information Asymmetry" means to both individuals and the markets that involve individual decision making. More precisely speaking, the internet has not only allowed access to information that in previous informational generations was unavailable to distant individuals, it has broken down barriers of informational control and secrecy which in prior times allowed individuals on Wall Street to corner and control the important and valuable information concerning new and developing markets, technologies, trends, and consumer changes.
What makes our community special is that it serves as a prime example of the dissolution of the informational advantage and the institutional advantage the stock broker or Wall Street analyst had over the individual citizen. It is a surreal irony that today individuals like Awk, Ramsey, Countryboy, and numerous others here actually are more "expert" in their knowledge of both this company and their technology, that they truly are more educated than the so called experts on Wall Street."
Thanks for putting into words what many of us deep down feel.
Perhaps you should post more often!!! A lot more often.
I think that this is what Brian G. Swift meant when he said:
“I refer to it as publicly traded venture capital,” said Brian G. Swift, chairman and chief executive of Security Research Associates, which markets the company to institutional clients. “We’ve had very good institutional interest,” he said, adding: “You have to have a two- or three-year horizon. To try and move in an out of this position on a quarterly basis would not make a whole lot of sense. You’re recognizing a sea change in the industry.”
