FYI: According to results of a survey conducted by Natixis Global Asset Management, only 6.4% of individual investors think “putting their emotions aside could better enable them to meet their financial goals.” This, of course, flies in the face of mountains of behavioral-finance research, as well as the practical experience of financial advisors, 83% of whom say “clients reacting emotionally” can derail their business.
