BEHAVIORAL/FINANCE
“All through time, people have basically acted and reacted the same way in the market as a result of: greed, fear, ignorance, and hope. That is why the numerical formations and patterns recur on a constant basis.”~ Jesse Livermore, How To Trade In Stocks, 1927
Behavioral Economics
Individual investors make predictable decisions when experiencing Stress, Uncertainty, Optimism, Trust, Fear, and other states.
Market Sentiment
Sentiment has long been anecdotally associated with asset price fluctuations driven by crowds.
Thomson Reuters MarketPsych Indices
MarketPsych partnered with Thomson Reuters to produce the most comprehensive quantitative data source for testing the predictive power of market sentiment.
YOUR MARKET BRAIN
EXPERIMENT (Winkielman et al, 2007)

Happy face increased risk-taking 30% versus negative expressions.
Afterwards subjects denied that the faces had affected their judgment.

TOOL/GO TO G-R-O-U-N-D
• Step 1: Managing Emotion• Ground in the present• Reappraise the situation• Observe your thoughts• Understand the emotion• ------------------------• Step 2: Thought and Action• Noodle on it: Analyze• Do Something: Take Action
GET GROUNDED:BE PRESENT IN YOUR CURRENT EXPERIENCE
REAPPRAISE THE SITUATION: HOW TRULY SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF TIME, URGENCY, AND IMPACT?
IS THIS AN EXPECTED PART OF YOUR JOB AS A RISK TAKER? (PROBABLY YES)
OBSERVE YOUR THOUGHTS:OBSERVING WITH CURIOSITY, WITHOUT JUDGMENT, LET GO OF SELF
JUDGMENTS AND CRITICISMS.
UNDERSTAND WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THIS.
SINCERE EMPATHY ELIMINATES ITSINCERE EMPATHY ELIMINATES IT
NOODLE ON IT: RE-ENGAGE ANALYTICAL THOUGHT
DO SOMETHING: MOVE FROM REASON TO ACTION
UNGROUNDED
• The Cardinal Sin:
• Attempting STEP 2 (action) before addressing STEP 1 (managing emotion).
STEP 1: MARKETPSYCH PEARLS
You can’t reason yourself out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into.
All emotions linger until they are actively grounded (good) or discharged (bad).
To (re)build discipline, take baby steps: commit and deliver.
