We’re chatting to Dr Shreeya Jugnandan about her framework for mitigating bias and some curious stats about home bias (emotional attachments and lifestyle considerations create a disconnect).
Cognitive biases that result in trading mistakes. We chat to Kristia van Heerden about primacy and recency effects.
Availability bias sprinkled with fear and hope. We chat to Hersh Shefrin about relying on our memories and switching out greed for hope.
Impression management techniques are used everywhere. Learn from PR expert, Candice Burgess-Look, how you can be a more vigilant consumer.
We chat to Terry Odean, a prolific researcher, about the perils of overtrading, the disposition effect, and how it leads to overconfidence.
We chat to Garth Mackenzie, an experienced trader, on how to navigate uncertainty in our trading and investing decisions.
We chat to Dr Greg Davies about loss aversion; it’s a bias that costs us money so we need to guard against it.
We chat to Steve Ward about risk tolerance; what part our personality plays and what part is influenced by external factors.
I am passionate about helping people understand their behaviour with money and gently nudging them to spend less and save more. I have several academic journal publications on investor behaviour, financial literacy and personal finance, and perfectly understand the biases that influence how we manage our money. This blog is where I break down those ideas and share my thinking. I’ll try to cover relevant topics that my readers bring to my attention. Please read, share, and comment. That’s how we spread knowledge and help both ourselves and others to become in control of our financial situations.
