This perspective highlights an essential principle: successful investing isn’t just about balance—it’s about timing and adaptability. The left brain’s logic is crucial for building a foundation, like valuing a company or analyzing macroeconomic trends. Meanwhile, the right brain shines when interpreting market sentiment or spotting opportunities others might overlook. But here’s the twist: the market itself is dynamic, requiring investors to switch seamlessly between these modes of thinking. Developing the ability to pivot between structured analysis and intuitive insight, depending on the phase of the market cycle, might be the true edge in achieving consistent long-term returns.
There are two formal analytical approaches: data-driven and conceptually driven. Analysis based on data processing is more subordinate to the left hemisphere, while that of concepts is to the right.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

As you pointed out, we need both.
