Abnormal Returns: Finance Blogger Wisdom

The Reformed Broker: Be Terrified “Lies are satisfying, they were created to be crowd-pleasers, hence the speed with which they spread.

A Wealth Of Common Sense: Situational Awareness  “Situational awareness of volatile market environments can help investors prepare for a much wider range of outcomes, even if we don’t know precisely what those outcomes will be in advance.”

Morgan Houses via Collaborative Fund: How To Talk To People About Money “The best way to talk to people about money is keeping the phrases, “What do you want to do?” or “Whatever works for you,” loaded and ready to fire. You can explain to other people the history of what works and what hasn’t while acknowledging their preference to sleep well at night over your definition of “winning.”
