Premise: The equity market tends to trade on emotions. Stocks get over-priced based on momentum and trader's emotions on certain stocks. Then it is only a matter of time before they go back down to a more sane P/E level since their price is not based on any underlying financial reasoning. The internet boom and bust is only the latest and greates example. I am wondering if there are any websites that address this very issue. When I did my own search "market psychology" kept popping up; however, every website that I visited treated "market psychology" as way for an individual trader to stay focused on their trading strategy. Which is NOT what I am looking for. What I am looking for is a website that describes methodologies used to trade against market psychology or offers a fund or advice column based off of this premise. |
