One of the biggest reasons is that the information is all there transparently, so there is no such thing as a free lunch. Remember, all the information about companies is publicly available and there are people whose job it is to look at this information and weight the pros and cons of all that information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomemos como ejemplo la tecnolog\u00eda.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>En la d\u00e9cada de 1990, los frikis de la inform\u00e1tica que predijeron correctamente el futuro podr\u00edan haber ganado mucho dinero. Sin duda, los primeros inversores en Facebook o Amazon lo hicieron.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Sin embargo, habr\u00eda sido una locura invertir un porcentaje significativo de su patrimonio en Amazon en 1995. Un inversor racional s\u00f3lo puede tomar decisiones bas\u00e1ndose en la informaci\u00f3n de que dispone en ese momento.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Predicting the future is almost impossible and those who get it right once, probably won\u2019t next time.
