I think the answer is probably something like gambling addiction.

While I use a very basic/standard passive investing approach myself, I do believe there are people who have genuine skill at active investing, particularly when they are handling relatively small amounts of money.

But I don't think any of them get there by absorbing walls of buy/sell recommendations.
