A lot of the problem is that too many people have bought into the Dave Ramsey theory that all we have to do is put our retirement money into "good growth stocks" and we live happily ever after. The ultimate value of publicly traded companies is the profit that can be returned to investors. That is a number that is hard to predict and can change dramatically over a relatively short period of time.

The wealthy group has, or can buy, the necessary experience and financial knowledge to back up their roll of the dice. The average investor does not and must put his trust in the honesty and knowledge of others. That is akin to going into a high-stakes poker game with a couple hundred dollars and limited playing experience. You might draw lucky and hit a streak of winning, but if you play long enough, the odds are that you will leave the table with less than you came in with.

I am reminded of the joke (told by Jerry Clower, I think) about the two hillbillys that sold the same horse back and forth between them, making a nice profit each time. Finally a third hillbilly was convinced they were both making a good living with the sales on that horse, so he bought from one of them because they were doing so well financially with the horse. he ends up with a tremendously over-valued horse and will ultimately take the loss of the "funny money" that had been made between the first two.

Welcome to the world of horse trading!
