The key to being a successful stock market investor is not maximizing potential reward, but rather minimizing potential risk, and you can never have enough knowledge in that respect, which is one of my big arguments for employing both FA and TA.

That's why the convos are awesome, mutuality of purpose to collectively understand new stuff and respect for the other person's comprehension. The institutional holdings v the trader volume could certainly explain the major financial media angle vs the small investor angle. I really think that's at the core of it, I usually see the same difference in reaction in comparing a blog to a standard wire report.

ETA: BTW where'd you get that screen shot from? I promise I'll get to the tax stuff.
