If that's your question, I'd say perhaps because the common folk where you're from don't do the research like they're supposed to. If you have the Internet, then you have the means. You can purchase books via Barnesandnoble.com for books on who and how to invest. You can invest through Ameritrade. Just proceed with discipline.
  • you should never try to make money buying and selling individual shares of stock. You will make more money in the long run in mutual funds.
