Philip Weiss will discuss how we often find ourselves torn between emotion and logic when making decisions. People decide differently under pressure or high risk—exactly the kind of scenario experienced by investors. Investors often expend too much energy trying to avoid making hard choices by looking for an information advantage that will guarantee them a “sure thing.” Instead, investors should simply focus on making better decisions. While none of us can avoid behavioral biases completely, processes can be put in place to help avoid the potential impact of these errors. Weiss discusses numerous behavioral biases and offers suggestions about what can be done to limit their impact.
