Pat,
The timing of your "right brain" post is interesting. I'm just now
reading Bennett W. Godspeed's book "The Tao Jones Averages - A Guide
to Whole-Brained Investing" and I've been thinking about this
right-brained stuff. Godspeed makes a case for incorporating the
intuitive, right side of the brain in making investment decisions - he
says market action is essentially non-linear, so why use only the
linear, logical, left side of your brain in your analyses.
Regarding developing the use of your right brain, Godspeed doesn't
provide a lot of help. One thing he mentions is that images viewed in
the left visual field are primarily transmitted to the right brain.
So something as simple as viewing your charts while looking slightly
to the right may help. He lists artists and musicians (among others)
as right-brain oriented professions - increased time spent with art
and music could be helpful.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone on the RT list who has made
an effort to develop and/or incorporate right-brain intuitive
processes in their trading.

P.S. Is anyone familiar with Godspeed - has he done any good as an
investment advisor?

see 2+2 and I think 4 and act on that thought because of what I know
and have seen, I'm usually correct. I didn't spend alot of time
analyzing what is already collected in my brain, however I always want
to know "why", want to know "how", and my question to the group is
what can be done to develop the right brain?
