What’s Your Investor Personality?
“For indeed, the investor’s chief problem — and even his worst enemy — is likely to be himself.” – Isaac Newton
What do Bono, Lenny Dykstra, Sylvester Stalone and Sir Isaac Newton all have in common? They along with many other celebrities, and countless investors from all walks of life all took heavy losses because they were blindsided by their emotions and investment biases.
In this fascinating talk about the behavioral science of successful (and not so successful) investing, Larry Berman will address the psychological side of investing by asking: What is Your Investment Personality-Type? Larry will lead the audience through an exercise to identify the 4 key personality profiles of investors – helping you determine which one is your type. He’ll examine the strengths and weakness of each profile, and show you how to use ETFs to build a more successful investment strategy for your particular personality type.
How Far Can a Bull Run?
How to keep your money safe in the late stages of the economic cycle
In just under a year the current bull market – which began in 2009 out of the depths of the financial crisis – will become the longest in history. But as the saying goes bull markets don’t die of old age. At the same time, no bull market has ever celebrated its 10th birthday.
Join Larry as he looks at areas of risk and opportunity in the global financial markets. This talk will help you make sense of what’s moving markets including interest rates, corporate earnings, financial “engineering” such as share buy-backs, and of course tweet-happy politicians. As always the talk concludes with “Berman’s Call Live” – an interactive audience Q&A.
