Hi, dear members and visitors!
Here is your 115th month newsletter.

1) Monthly activity

The total number of non bouncing members stays around 1810,
a moderate inflow compensating a moderate ouftlow

The number of messages went down to a trickle last month with
the total staying around 8900. As if there was nothing really
new in BF/BE....

Has a saturation point been reached ? Did the topic get too
commonplace ?
Or is some segmentation taking place between:
* The general public who gets overwhelmed with info on BF/BE
but that are just repetitions of a few general aspects (loss
aversion, herding, under- vs. over-reaction ...)?
* Academics and professionnals, who focus on more specific
but narrow aspects, for example criteria to hire traders ?
Seen a recent study with telltale findings about the respective
sizes of their fingers. I suppose the next postgraduate theses
will be about measuring their toes or ...other body parts)?

Does BF/BE became a mature area of knowledge comparable
to an industry offering mass consumption on one side and
specialized niches on the other?

Now the big question: How can our group, that seems positioned
in the middle between the two chairs at the table, therefore
that risks to be sitting in a void in front of an empty dish,
adapt to it?

You might have noticed (as I already mentioned in the previous
newsletter) that in my site I kept the "scientific" content,
I even tried to improve and develop it, but I moved the
presentation progressively to the (amateurish I admit) comic
strip style.
I'm not sure that it is a good darwinian adaptation, and that
I did it in a smart way, by using very limited  means (ordinary
and repetitive public access cliparts). Well, at the moment,
it seems at least to keep its ranking.

I will be happy for your comments about that "transition". They
would also raise this forum's message score ;-)).

2) Our free BF resources at your fingertips 24/7:

* Your diligently maintained and improved BF glossary.
(as I said above) 500+ definitions, many of them as
stand-alone detailed encyclopedic articles,
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pgreenfinch/bfglo/bfglo.a.htm

=> Our permanent "quality" poll about that resource is running at:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Behavioral-Finance/polls
*** Thanks for your opinion**
Taking into account in your vote the questions I put forward above
in this newsletter might help to see how to orientate that glossary.

* Martin Sewell's academic treasure chest in BF topics,
that site is a must for students and researchers:

Today i will do something that only me can decide.I will enter the bar and I
will ask for a barlay coffee.
I tell the Barman: "Probably no one asks for barlay coffee..."
He replies that, really, on last week no one asked for it. But today... I am the
fifteenth guy asking for...

We think to be original, but really our mind is not quite different from other
minds... for some reasons, today we are asking for a barlay coffee...   In
finance there are many decisions so taken.

Can you help me to find books or articles about this?

We decide often exactly as the crowd.

Thank you

CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE
The Academy of Behavioral Finance & Economics www.aobf.org offers a dedicated
forum for exchange of research findings and professional advancement related to
the fast-growing field of behavioral finance and economics. Given the well
recognized reality that "to make a decision, emotion is the necessary trigger
(and) without emotion, one would be reduced to the state of an idiot savant who
goes on endlessly calculating without the ability to make a choice" (Olsen,
2008), the objective of the annual conference is to encourage and distribute
research and inquiry in the very promising area of Behavioral Finance and
Economics.

Theoretical and empirical/experimental works that involve the application of
psychology and neuroscience to all areas of financial decision making and
practice will be considered for presentation at the annual meeting. This
includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
  1. Investment and the Working of Financial Markets at all levels of
functionality and capital allocation--including both public and private aspects;
  2. Financial Management of Companies--both public and private entities;
  3. Firm Entry and Exit Process--ranging from startup ventures to mature
businesses;
  4. Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Venture Capital;
  5. All other Business and Economic Endeavors that Involve Human Decision Making
and Choice Under Conditions of Risk and Uncertainly;
  6. Teaching and Learning--ranging from case development to other pedagogical
issues.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
Abstracts of papers selected for presentation will be published in the
Conference Proceedings.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR PRESENTATION
Please prepare: 1) a copy of your completed paper (or a detailed abstract) in
PDF format where the cover page of your paper contains /only/ the title (for
anonymous review), and 2) a cover letter containing your affiliation and contact

letter of interest, along with a short bio using the deadline and instructions

Hi, dear members and visitors!
Here is your 114th month newsletter.

1) Monthly activity

Not much to say, the total number of non bouncing members
fell to around 1810 (minus 5). There was 20 messages bringing the
total to 8895.
Thus, no V shaped recovery up to now ;-)
Seems at least that BF is becoming mainstream. Maybe we
contributed for a little part to this ...and the crisis for a big part!

The last theme of the month I suggested was perverse incentives,
taking as example bank traders bonus. No echos in the group
until now...
Any suggestions for a new theme to debate ? Or a new poll ?
We might also get some news from the Chicago symposium.

Some news about the Gallery / FAQ (see below for the access)
I'm progressively adding illustrations. They might look childish.
But BF / BE is not only for academics and professionals. The
general public is entitled to understand how social psychology
affects the economy, finance and some other aspects of individual
and social life

2) Our free BF resources at your fingertips 24/7:
