Knowing what you own and why you own it is an ideal that helps investors to avoid acting emotionally and irrationally. 

You don't have to get deep into the weeds to grasp what you own and why you own it, but there is a framework to use and understand. There are also psychological components to investing with clarity that revolve around understanding what you own and why you own it.

In this five-part miniseries, Mark Pearson is joined by returning guest Chuck Etzweiler, senior vice president of Nepsis, Inc, to help investors understand that while knowing what you own and why you own it is important, understanding the behavioural characteristics of an investor is equally important. And that at the end of the day, it is always process before progress.
