Publisher's Synopsis
Investing involves the basic principles of economics that help investors identify financial goals and constraints to come up with the right asset and portfolio allocation. This second edition outlines the updated rules for investing in irrational markets successfully. It discusses the emotions that go into investing decisions, the benefits (or lack thereof) of paying someone else to manage your money, and the importance of a financial plan. It also gives a thorough account of the asset classes to buy and sell including stocks, and explores humans as both emotional and intelligent beings. Investing is, as the book details, a game of both economics and psychology. It will be of interest to both students and researchers of capital markets, investments and securities, behavioral finance, and financial psychology.
