Has the internet been good or bad for investing?

Question

Has "up to the second" information hurt or helped the average investor.

Answer 1

I think it's very good. In the old days, you had to pay your broker high fees and trust his judgment. Now you can do your own research and invest very cheaply.

People still lose a lot of money, but some people make a lot of money.

The important thing is that everyone can play on a relatively level playing field.
