Emotional Investing

Are Investors Their Own Worst Enemy?

Submitted by Occidental Asset Management, LLC on December 11th, 2016

Intro

We like to think that we are logical, rational beings. We want to believe that we weigh the pros and cons of each decision and choose the most effective course of action before we act. However, when it comes to money, our brains haven't evolved much beyond those of our furry animal friends.

Living on Purpose

Submitted by Occidental Asset Management, LLC on September 14th, 2016

We like to think that we are logical, rational beings. We want to believe that we weigh the pros and cons of each decision and choose the most effective course of action before we act. However, when it comes to money, our brains haven't evolved much beyond those of our furry friends.
