>>>Humans really are just like sheep and lemmings.<<<

You should read Taleb. He expounds extensively about the psychological and even PHYSIOLOGICAL workings of the mind. He suggests that we are primarily wired to eat, flee, and reproduce. Often in the markets the flee program is played while you are telling yourself that you are being perfectly rational. You are running and you don't even know it. That may explain in part why sell-offs are so violent and bulls take so relatively long to build up.
