While I don't agree with your first point, it's certainly up do personal opinion. However, it's never a bad idea for people to understand how to invest and manage their money. From my understanding, that was what the author was talking about.

I think you're missing the point. The argument isn't that bloggers as a whole perform better than professional analysts, it's that there are far more sources to get information about the market these days than just Wall Street analysts. Bloggers are one of them, and there are times that they are right.

Some blogs are about as reliable as pecking chickens, but some spend considerable time researching and developing solid insights. Generalizing and discounting every single one is a bit rash.

Surely bloggers do not only always outperform Wall Street analysts, but there are certainly scenarios, such as this one, where they do get it right. I agree that CNN's sample size could be statistically inaccurate, but the blogosphere is pretty difficult to measure.

I think the point of the article is that the number of individual investors is growing, and since there is such a plethora of information out there and easy channels to share opinions, the financial sphere is rapidly evolving online.
