[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1745540, member: 42463"] LOL... more like listen and think. Even some pretty outrageous information can have nuggets of value in them. I noted your comment above that said, "... following the herd or trend is dangerous.", and it IS. But the ability to anticipate herd movement is valuable and can be used to advantage. When we are working our cattle we learn to anticipate how the herd is moving, flowing like water always taking the easy path, and even which mavericks are most likely to break and run and where they are likely to do it. The same thing happens with humans and how they flow. I've ridden some great runs because I anticipated people climbing on board to ride the wave and I've managed to step out before they crashed, making some real money. But I've been in cattle and real estate for too many years and am now interested in learning and reentering stocks... and won't turn my nose up at other potential information that teaches me about herd movement. You don't think Warren Buffet got rich buying and holding do you? Doing the same thing everyone is advised to do by "financial advisers? From your posts, TR, I can see that you understand this already. But yes, dangerous if the investor doesn't have a good filter. [/QUOTE]
