Sound, visionary stewardship

Welcome 

 

 

At this time of year we often step back and reflect on all we are grateful in our lives. Each day morning I sit to reflect on: 

  • Three things I am grateful for.
  • Three people I want to send healing energy and prayers to in my life or in the world (this always expands to my full prayer list).
  • Three things that I will accomplish that day or in the next few days.

It's very powerful when we begin to notice the little things and be thankful for each of them. Even the daily challenges are something to be grateful for and learn from.  

 

This Thanksgiving we wish you true abundance of the holiday season. Our advice this Thanksgiving? Try on an attitude of gratitude!  

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.  

 

Cheers,

From Bill's corner...  

 

Behavioral Finance       


The study of the field of behavioral finance rapidly growing. Every trade magazine or symposium I attend will dedicate significant resources toward the subject. Quick summary: Behavioral finance argues that people are not nearly as rational as traditional finance theory makes out. Traditional finance employs theories with a heavy emphasis on mathematical equations. Unfortunately, the average investor makes decisions on emotion rather than mathematics. Behavioral finance is just beginning to understand why.

 

Behavioral finance is a discipline that attempts to explain how mental mistakes and emotions of investors influence their decision-making process. Behavioral finance integrates the fields of psychology, sociology and other behavioral sciences to explain individual behavior, group behavior, and is even used to predict financial markets. Understanding investor behavior may make you better investors and may help remove that goblin of emotion from your investment decisions.
