But if you believe that certain Joe Randoms are actually talented and lucky enough to identify a bona fide unrealized potential in a stock and then invest in that, all the other Joe Randoms doing stuff provides enough noise that you don't get immediately picked up as a signal by the big players who can outgun you.
