If Thurston Had Internet, He'd Be Trading From Gilligan's Island
I know this doesn’t come as a surprise to many of you but there are still a number of CEO’s out there that continue to believe online traders are – for the lack of a better word – flakes. They fail to realize that online investors are take charge, self-directed, open minded and very intelligent. I know this because I’ve watched them for years on AGORACOM and blogs around the web.
For those CEO’s that don’t want to take my horribly conflicted word for it, you might want to take a look at this article in the Wall Street Journal:Â Some Millionaires Trade Online.
(UPDATE:Â It looks like the WSJ no longer has the story available – but here is a cached version of the article)
The article specifically talks about Canada – but I think we can all agree it applies to US online traders as well.
You can continue to ignore online investor relations – but do it at your peril.

George
