how do normal people.. say, most middle-aged, college-educated (but not business or economics majors) men and women, know enough about the stock market to entrust it with lumps of their money (even if they're middle class and they don't have much money) with undetermined results? the stock market seems incredibly complex to me.. how do peoople with no education in economics know enough to make some profit of their money?
do you hire investors?
are most investors not middle-class and maybe be in the know about upcoming, lucrative investments?
their parents taught them?
make guesses? say, toys 'r' us before christmas season? (excuse my ignorance)
could you really learn what you need to know from a book that plenty of other people will read?
it seems like you know something i don't know.
As an individual you can pick stocks yourself or entrust it to a 3rd party. 3rd party stock picking is a huge industry called Asset or Wealth Management. You can look at comparable performance measures for funds run by well known names such as Fidelity etc and pick the one which suits you most. Over the long term stock markets rise - so if all elsefails just pick a fund with a low fee which tracks the stock market in general (ie follows the S&P500 or FTSE100 for example).
There is no "secret" to investing - the main complication you face is perhaps not having basic accounting knowledge - which gives you the ability to look at a company and know how relatively profitable / sustainable it is.
Most people have the basic knowledge / logic to pick stocks, but just don't realise it - you should try a synthetic portfolio (i.e. its more of a game) - where you pick stocks but don't put any money down. Over a couple of months you may find your intuition pays off - and it will give you the confidence to invest for real.
I would also add that securities laws and regulations are very tough now - trading on inside information is a crime. If you trade with "secret" information - you may well end up in Jail.
