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. Life is short. Live passionately.

There is a book called Blink... Nice read... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

@Sparkly, Blink:The power of thinking without thinking by Malcolm Gladwell.You might also want to read,'What the dog saw" by the same dude.....very interesting reads. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Instincts can also lead you down the garden path. Very unchartered way to go. Dunia ni msongamano..

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.

When stuck between two decisions, flip a coin and when its in midair, deep down, you'll want a certain outcome and listen to that voice. “The beauty of success is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.” - Mark Cuban

Once this bus leaves the stage, there will be no time to bargain. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

instincts are so correct, only actions are limited. i remembr exactly on 28/09/2014 i applied for 200 kenya orchads shares but th broker was wondering wat i was thinkng on such an equity, today th shares is at sh135! barely less than 2 months. we! fo th ist time i know what is 'smilling all th way to th bank' All through time people have basically acted & reacted the same way in the market as a result of fear, greed, ignorance & hope. That is why numerical formations & patterns recur on a costant basis.
