Special Bulletin -- Back to SchoolSuggested Reading
As a new school year begins, the Lennick Aberman Group highly recommends adding two new books to your reading list.
Inside the Investor's Brain: The Power of Mind Over Money
Author: Richard L. Peterson
Published: 2007
The human brain is wired to make decisions in certain ways. Unfortunately, when it comes to the financial markets, the way we've been "wired" is not conducive to making money. Nobody knows this better than author Richard Peterson. As a founder of Market Psychology Consulting, a former trader, a developer of psychology-based trading systems, and an investor coach, Peterson understands firsthand how subconscious mistakes (biases) can sabotage the financial decision-making of market participants.
Now, with Inside the Investor's Brain, Peterson wants to share his invaluable experiences in this field with you. Backed by recent research in neurofinance—the study and application of neuroscience to investment activity—psychology, and experimental finance, this detailed guide explains the fundamental "hardwired" mistakes made by most investors and reveals the simple steps you can take to overcome these obstacles and improve your financial decision-making skills.
Richard Peterson (M.D.) has nine years experience in market modeling, investment strategy development, and trading, and he has privately evaluated and trained investors and traders for the past four years. Current projects include the establishment of a behavioral finance hedge fund.
