Behavioral Finance is a fascinating subject that studies why most people make poor financial decisions like buying greedily at market tops and panic-selling at market bottoms. Turns out it is our reptilian brains that makes us irrational beings.

Another recent story suggested that women make better investing decisions than men. More men than women cite greed, overconfidence or impatience for their investing mistakes. Now, I should convince my wife to become more interested in investing. She starts yawning when I mention we need bonds in our portfolios. Sigh!
