"Are your investment decisions always logical? Or, do psychological and emotional glitches trip you up?"
Behavioral finance teaches us few people always make logical investment decisions. Psychological and emotional biases get in the way. NBR's year-long "Your Mind and Your Money" series aims to help investors understand those biases and make more rational decisions.
Reports and interviews will appear in the NBR program on select Mondays, and additional information -- including companion articles from Kiplinger's Personal Finance -- will appear here regularly. Behavioral finance is a relatively new field of study, so make sure you consult a financial advisor for practical advice about investing.
