Course Description

When it comes to money and investing, we're not always as rational as we think we are—which is why there's a whole field of study that explains our sometimes strange behavior.

Studies have demonstrated that behavior rather than performance is the primary driver of success for the typical investor. Activities such as trying to time the market, checking portfolio balances daily and forming emotional attachments to stocks often result in inferior returns. This CPE course will examine these and other destructive behaviors and provide strategies to temper them.

While it’s impossible to predict the future, people who typically have the most successful outcomes have similar habits and common traits and you will find it out in this CPE webinar!

Major topics covered in this online CPE webinar:

Shortcuts and its consequences
Herd Mentality
Myopic Loss Aversion
Dalbar Study

Having researched and written about cognitive blinders, much of the material was more refresher than new to me, but it's always a good idea to revisit the themes to see where we have let them creep back into our own behavior.

Watched the entire program. When I completed watching the presentation, I went to take the quiz and was notified that an error had occurred and the page had to reload. When I went to take the final quiz, I received a message that I had to watch the entire presentation in order to take this quiz. So I had to sit through the presentation twice. This happened with another course as well..
