It’s got everything we hate: choice and information overload, time pressure, ambiguity and confusion, consequences worth thousands, uncomfortable scenarios involving disease and injury, inscrutable jargon coming at a time of the year full of other business, ...

On the contrary, not only are premiums higher and benefits lower, there’s greater uncertainty about the future of the Obama health care act. On a cold, cloudy Sunday afternoon, I analyzed my health insurance choices. Our choices and ... Read more

Tue, 29 Nov 2016 15:00:16 +0000http://www.decisionfish.com/?p=1288I recently attended the Behavioral Finance Symposium at Golden Gate University in San Francisco. The speakers were academics and practitioners speaking on the behavioral challenges to good investment and trading decisions. The crowd seemed to be mostly left-coast traders, investment managers and consultants. Many of the talks were thought provoking and left me with a ... Read more

https://www.decisionfish.com/good-behavior/#commentsTue, 18 Oct 2016 16:54:56 +0000http://www.decisionfish.com/?p=1115I just attended the best conference ever. And I’ve been to a lot of them.

Most of the excess was in cash, earning essentially nothing and missing out on ... Read more
