Other than sheer luck, there are really only two ways to make money - inside information or overwhelming force. It is a truism that trading thrives on information - "information", "disinformation", "misinformation" and "inside information". It has always been that way.
Well, since I have no luck all the times, I have to depend on information, which is why I love my job now :)
