That gut feeling, that silent advisor. It tells you buy X. You buy, or you ignore, or your conscious mind kicks in and convinces you otherwise. Either way the price movement very shortly afterwards vindicate you. I have obliged my gut feelings to make some good deals. I have also hesitated and lost on some good deals with money at hand. I hesitated get into msc @ 3.20, to add on Nic @ 29, kkzi @32, to buy kenol @48. I have resolved to pay more attention to my instincts.

Instincts can also lead you down the garden path.

Unless you have developed what is called "ticker sense" a sort of 6th sense that warns the very experienced speculators about impending danger,thats the easiest way to part with your money.

There is no substitute for research,intelligent reasoning and nerves of steel.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.
