Yeah - I have always taken an interest in the stock market. But I no little about it.
My parents never played it. And none of my friends do. It is a different culture here in the UK.
Plus - alot of my early reading in this area was to do with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. So - my inclination has always been one of scepticism.
But I am working through that now - as I think EMH is largely bullshit (as do alot of other people).
So - I find the whole area really interesting from an intellectual point of view. I don;t really need any money - but at the same time, I like the approach to investing of somebody like Scott Adams - who described his thinking here:

Also - most professionals are not in a position to just invest in one stock at a time. So - I think this approach opens up opportunities for the smaller guys.
