Next Level Thinking

I realize saying something is \u201cnext level thinking\u2019 reeks of exaggeration and being overly dramatic, but in this case, it\u2019s not. There was a recent event that took place in the markets that illustrates how we as traders and investors need to be thinking in \u201cnext level\u201d ways. To be fair to all those who fall into the trap (including me when I first got started), you aren\u2019t stupid. In fact, you are thinking in a rationale and logical way. The problem is though, within the world of trading and investing the logical way to think is oftentimes the worst way to think. What do I mean? Let me explain not \u201cin theory\u201d but rather using a real life event that just happened serving as an excellent case study.
