As someone that worked on Wall Street, most HNers aren't any better than Main Street investors. In many ways I'd say they are worse. Specifically, the level of emotion some people have on HN when it comes to liking or disliking companies based on their pet issues leads them to make some financially asinine statements. If you want to make money in the capital markets, you have to be dispassionate, making your decisions based on financials and fundamentals.
