The herd mentality is very much in evidence in the stock market. There's often no logic to it. By standing apart from the herd and sometimes running in the opposite direction you can often make a killing. Example : 2007 when the market crashed. A lot of people panicked and sold because the market dropped (because a lot of people were also selling).
