The market has been boring - Time to better understand market psychology

Lately, the market has been a yawner.  Well, in deference to my mom who was an English teacher, I guess yawner isn't really a word, but nothing of substance has been happening to drive the market to new levels.

P/E's are really stretching. The economy is ever so slowly bumping along.  Interest rates are low, low, low.

So other than focus on updating company financial models, I need to find some constructive exercises to engage in.  One of those exercises is just that - physical exercise.  Another exercise is deepening my understanding of why people do what they do and this takes me to one of my favorite podcast's - Hidden Brain.  I always love the stories in this podcast.  Well... who doesn't enjoy a good story?  This recent episode helped to broaden my understanding of what happens in the stock market and why it happens.

Hidden Brain is another good bite of what I call "Brain Candy".  Bon appetit!
