Chuck Jaffe: Why Even The Best Investing Advice May Be Wrong

FYI: " Sell everything” or “buy now” or “head for gold” makes great headlines, but isn’t great strategy for individual investors.

The reason isn’t that the market observers are reading fluctuations and trends differently than individuals, using specific technical analysis or analyzing contrarily the fundamentals. Nor is it that the experts are always wrong, no matter how popular that sentiment might be.

The issue is that money managers run money, while individual investors run their own lives.
