“[You’ll] learn how to improve your investment experience, increase returns formerly sacrificed to misbehavior, and worry less about “The economy” as you become increasingly focused on “My economy.”
Daniel Crosby, Personal Benchmark: Integrating Behavioral Finance and Investment Management

“Tread carefully when making assumptions based on representativeness. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it might not be a duck.”
Coreen T. Sol, CFA
