Financial advisor Ryan Patton with Stifel/Pensacola presented a fascinating program today on "Behavioral Finance & Investment Decisions: Frameworks to Make Better Money Choices." He gave us lots of food for thought as he shared the theories of Daniel Kahneman (and others), a psychologist whose work in the psychology of judgment and decision-making and behavioral economics earned the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
"Humans tend to weigh potential losses more heavily than equivalent gains." Daniel Kahneman ("Prospect Theory")
Thank you, Ryan, for an excellent program!
