This book will take your understanding of finance to the next
level. "The Story of Behavioral Finance" is about "finance in the
real world"-it's finance theory with real people and real
institutions.
What happens when your portfolio manager sets out not to
maximize your return but rather to maximize his own compensation
and minimize his own career risk? Why didn't rational investors
short high-flying Internet companies back in 1999? Why was it that
so many of the firms that went public in 1999 and 2000 for hundreds
of millions of dollars subsequently went bankrupt? These are the
types of questions that will be answered in this book.
"The Story of Behavioral Finance" will cover a lot of ground. We
will cover the two main strands of behavioral finance, investor
psychology and limits to arbitrage, and we'll apply these concepts
to a wide array of financial market phenomena. We will explore, for
example, why it is that almost no one seems to "beat the market"
despite that fact that there are often easily spotted price
inefficiencies.
