>>I think there are a lot of people who think things through but then base their actions on hunches or superstitions, gut feelings, etc. Kind of defeats the purpose. Investing is a good example of that sort of divergence.<<

Well ... all investing does involve speculation to some extent. I know some don't believe this, but just because a company has steady and growing earnings -- even, extrapolating that with some reasonable assumptions involves speculation, right?

And then there are the particulars -- you can have the big picture right, and even some good t/a, but choosing when to enter/exit a trade ... I admit, I use the gut feel.
