Your Brain on Stocks

MJG

Hi Guys,

Perhaps I’m having a senior moment, but Barry Ritholtz has made numerous presentations on his “This is Your Brain on Stocks” theme. Well, he made yet another such presentation a few days ago. My senior moment is that I may have posted this reference earlier.

Regardless, it is an excellent and often humorous summary of his integration of the probability and behavioral aspects of investing. Here is the Link, perhaps once again:

Enjoy. Ritholtz has culled his graphics from many sources and has properly credited them. Over the several years that he has been making similar presentations, some of the viewgraphs have changed and several have been reordered, but his recommendations have remained fairly constant.

Ritholtz has generated a short 3 item math oriented list and a 12 item behavioral oriented list that summarize his position. He doesn’t include those lists in his recent presentation, but he has documented them elsewhere. Here are the Links to both lists without further comment by me:

Sorry if these have been previously posted. Reviews are often helpful.

Best Regards.

Good to have these together. Ritholtz knows. And his sense of humor has not been surgically removed. And he writes like a human, not a techno-geek.
