It is also what is known as a tremendous opportunity for small cap investors. Dr. Phillip Frost, Warren Buffett, and David Einhorn are billionaire investors for a reason: they are the classic "smart money." That is not an opinion, that is just a plain and simple empirical fact. Along with being smarter (and better) investors, they have superior research resources. This results in shrewd, profitable investing. Many do well emulating their investing choices.
