Ok, so you usually read and hear that an investor shouldn't try to time the market, they should take a longterm, disciplined investing approach, etc.* However, there are many people who invest that easily beat the market.* Are they just good at researching?* Do they have insider knowledge?* Or are they just the lucky few who end up on the right hand side of the bell curve, by default?
For example, Peter Lynch, this guy: http://www.kirkreport.com/portfolio2005.html and I'm sure there are many of you here that have obtained returns on your investment of 20%+ consistently for the past 5+ years.
