• Emotions are powerful and are required even for making investing decisions
• Investors often make decisions, not on the data, but on how confident they feel about the implications of the data
• “Everybody in the market has like fear of missing out or fear of future regret” – Denise Shull
• The Two Stages of Portfolio Management:
  • Stage 1: Use your observations and experiences to decide what you believe
  • Stage 2: Take those beliefs and use them to determine your portfolio
• A fundamental conflict between two emotions often creates a problem both in investing and in life
• After a failure, you need to go through a kind of grieving process – ask yourself: What am I feeling and why am I feeling it?
• Research shows that if athletes write about a failure and their feelings, they get over it more quickly than when as coaches say, they try to ‘shake it off’
• Writing is a great mechanism for releasing emotion
