		Staying in market research literally means that the highest level position that one will attain is head of market research.

	The Mortgage Reports Blog: Market Psychology
		Of course, markets are using the information to shore up the "Inflation is Dead" mentality that seems to settling over the markets.

	Old Shaw Farm: Market psychology
		My sale radar predicted that she was not going to buy anything, but as I was explaining to her about the salad turnips, I saw one of my regular turnip customers enter the market and make a bee line for my stand.
		You're "simple" observations, are the stuff of big, fancy academic "disciplines," such as marketing, in which I have spent most of my career.
		Intelligent common sense observations such as yours, typically disguised with complex mumbo-jumbo terms (outside of the hard sciences, the main role of academia is to disguise common sense behind complex terminology, so that only the high-priests can engage in the discourse...am I being too much of a cynic here...?) are the basis of these disciplines.

		Failing to win tenure is tantamount to automatic dismissal and sends the professor back into the job market with the added stink of having been "passed over."

	The Key to Real Estate Cycles: Mass Psychology Creates Market Cycles
		In fact, the presence of mass market psychology repeatedly compel us to do just the opposite of what we should do in order to maximize economic pleasure (make investment profits) and minimize economic pain (avoid investment losses or lost profits).
		That is, during upturns in real estate cycles, optimistic psychology takes a hold of the market and this induces more and more people to adopt optimistic beliefs and expectations.
		Knowing that markets will do everything possible to prove the greatest number of people wrong, these overly optimistic expectations are what lay the groundwork for a downturn – or bust – in the real estate cycle.
