My guy is still Jim Cramer (Mad Money) even though I don&#039;t always agree with him and actually the most money I made in one stock was betting directly against him.  He said don&#039;t buy a stock (it was GM) under any circumstances.  He described the cons, I said to myself they were not that bad and bought in.  In a few months I doubled my money.  Anyway, over the last few years I lost more than I won as has everyone so enough war stories.My point was that I think professionals should be taken with a grain of salt and if you have a less significant amount of money (&lt;250k) then just managed it yourself by doing research and mainly investing in Index Mutual Funds.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was thinking about this the last few months but forgot to check the results.</p><p>I believe that a lot of good market watchers exist.
