The Short Answer: "Yes"
by Burton G. Malkiel from A Random Walk Down Wall Street
Many people say that the individual investor has scarcely a chance today against Wall Street's pros. They point to techniques the pros use such as "program trading," "portfolio insurance," and investment strategies using complex derivative instruments, and they read news reports of mammoth takeovers, and the high profitable (and sometimes illegal) activities of well-financed arbitrageurs. This suggests that there is no longer any room for the individual investor in today's institutionalized markets. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can do as well as the experts—perhaps even better.
