Alexandra Horowitz opened her eyes walking around her block. Just finished her new book, On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes. The author had a simple premise. She would walk around her block on the upper westside of New York City with different people and have them tell her what they see from their perspective.
No pun intended, but it was a real eye opener. She started with her toddler son and just observed what he looked at and what interested him. A very different sense of what is important. She followed her dog. She walked with a geologist. She strolled with a bug specialist. A botanist. Someone who is blind. An artist. Each saw the world differently.
So what would you see if you looked at the markets from a different perspective. If you are a discretionary investor, can you see the markets through the eyes of the quant. Can you see what the technical trader sees? What does a central banker see? I am not suggesting that you become something different, but if you can observe markets from a different vantage point would you have richer invest perspective?
