That kind of gut feel can be a good thing -- a right-brained amalgam of lots of left-brained information. Seeing red flags, etc. But I was referring to the kind of 'gut feeling' where one just throws everything out the window and says, "What the heck!" with little if any basis in reality. As Shades put it so well, it's the herd mentality -- fools rushing in at the last moment, with no thought or analysis (rejecting previous thinking that told them to stay away). The multiple marriage thing is a good example of a disconnect. My own sister can analyze up a storm regarding relationships and people that invariably rings true, yet enters one mess after another in her own life. As Shades put in indirectly, Wall Street relies on the disconnect that exists in people, luring them in for the critical shakedown.
