Certainly if you invest in a company you know, that's fine, because you know for certain what happens to the company. But if you invest in stock market, you are not certain. Balances can be altered. Do you remember Enron? Would you bet your future on such gambling?

Also, you may need not to be a herd guy, like many investors in the stock market who react following collective emotions.
