      When you listen to others and base your trading strategies on theirresearch and opinions, you do not know all that there is to know. You donot know all of the variables and caveats that they are considering, andare somewhat blind to various potential outcomes, which are based uponcontinuously unfolding events. If you don't do your own homework, and youmake trading decisions based solely on what someone else tells you, thenyou will not be as well informed. If you are taking advice from a greattrader, you will most likely make money. However, you probably won't makenearly as much as the person that you are taking advice from!
