But I believe passionately and strongly that their profession is based on a fundamentally false pretense, and basically is a scourge on our society. And when I hear people talk about their stock market accuracy I believe: a. they are ignorant, or b. they are dishonest, and most likely c. they are trying to profit off my misunderstanding of the market, or in the case of the CB'ers d. they're simply bragging but only impressing the ignorant folk.

So stockbrokers are evil?
