Dear Franco,

also, I thank you very much - your studies shed interesting light on the general questions what "cognitive" means and how conscious versus uncouncious processes play a role when trying to find investment decisions. In that sense,
the studies you mentioned might be part of an explanation of the neuropsychological link between emotion (and its underlying neuropsychological processes) and logical thinking.

Dear members and visitors!
Here is our 129th month newsletter

We had a very slow start in 2011
Maybe the "January effect" ;-))
Allthough the last time the activity was so low was in October 2009
Well some accelaration is visible in February

By the way I just launched a new poll about BE/BF research.
From what source would the next crucial advances come from?
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Behavioral-Finance/polls

1) Monthly activity
We had only 4 messages in January
Well, February starts better, the total is now close to 9200
(+15 since the last newsletter)

Our membership is still slightly ca. 1800 non bouncing members.
Since several months we get enough new members to compensate
for those we lose
Let us try to be immune to the "prospect theory", by which losses
are felt emotionnaly more intensely than gains .-))

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

* Your diligently maintained and improved BF glossary.
500+ definitions, many of them as stand-alone 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**

* Martin Sewell's academic treasure chest in BF topics,
that site is a must for students and researchers:
http://www.behaviouralfinance.net/

* Your behavioral stockpricer:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pgreenfinch/pricer.htm

* Our group charter
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Behavioral-Finance/files/
(click BF Group charter.doc)
also available at:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pgreenfinch/befigrouppolicy.htm

** Remember, you need a *yahoo ID/profile* to access all
Yahoo group's resources (polls, links and files).
To get it, click "account info" (in the group's homepage
or your "my groups" page) and fill in the info you deem

Wishing an interesting and productive month
All the best!

Hi dear members!

Reminding you of the current poll:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Behavioral-Finance/surveys?id=3025446

The question has some similarity with those of the polls done
twice in the last 5 years.
This allows to see an evolution about what kinds of advances
to expect from BF / BE research.
Seems to me that the results up to now are quite interesting.
The voters can already see them.

The number of voters is in line with those two past polls.
It can hopefully increase before it closes in a few days,
which would give it a better significance.

Vote now, if you didn't do it already, your opinion is important!

All the best!

Peter

I have the pleasure to invite you to my conference devoted to Psychology and Choice of Technical Analysis Methods. Conference will take place at Le Salon de l'Analyse technique in Paris.

 

Conference will take place at "le Salon de l'Analyse Technique" in Paris the 26th of March at 9 30 AM.

Conference and entrance  is free. Conference will be held in french.

More information on http://taodutrading.canalblog.com

or http://salonat.com. 

Directionnal trading is mainly  a question of Behavior and is directly linked to the working of brain (relationship between limbic part of the brain and neo-cortex).

I started to work on this matter since the early 2000, trying to link trading with works done by Pr. Ledoux and Damasio and neurobiology.

Dear Listmembers,
 
 

 

Subject : Conférence on psychophysiological and technical analysis

I have the pleasure to invite you to my conference devoted to Psychology and Choice of Technical Analysis Methods. Conference will take place at Le Salon de l'Analyse technique in Paris.

 

Conference will take place at "le Salon de l'Analyse Technique" in Paris the 26th of March at 9 30 AM.

Conference and entrance  is free. Conference will be held in french.

More information on http://taodutrading.canalblog.com

or http://salonat.com. 

Directionnal trading is mainly  a question of Behavior and is directly linked to the working of brain (relationship between limbic part of the brain and neo-cortex).

I started to work on this matter since the early 2000, trying to link trading with works done by Pr. Ledoux and Damasio and neurobiology.

Dear Franco,

also, I thank you very much - your studies shed interesting light on the general questions what "cognitive" means and how conscious versus uncouncious processes play a role when trying to find investment decisions. In that sense,
the studies you mentioned might be part of an explanation of the neuropsychological link between emotion (and its underlying neuropsychological processes) and logical thinking.

Again tangential (maybe less so, this time) and apologies in advance to Peter but this 2008 study (I believe based on measurements of skin electrical resistance) showed that the subjects made decisions 300 milliseconds prior to becoming consciously aware of which button they had decided to press. This adds to my previously sent article on dopamine reward systems inside the brain......
Love to read any comments, views from members as this is a fascinating area....

does anyone know about psychophysiological correlates of  investment

Thanks a lot for any hints on that topic!

Dear members and visitors!
Here is our 131th month newsletter

1) Thought of the month
In the last couple years, investors were subjected to shocks
after shocks (financial, monetary, economic, geopolitical,
technological, cultural...)
Wondering if this makes them weary, itchy and investment
-averse, or on the contrary more accustomed to uncertainties,
more resilient and eager to play the game.

2) Monthly activity
Agai, we saw only a messsage trickle
But the total is now above 9200

Our membership is still ca.1800 non bouncing members.
A stable demography between gains and losses.

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

* Your diligently maintained and improved BF glossary.
500+ definitions, many of them as stand-alone 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**

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

Hello

How come a rating agency decision that rests on
fundamentals that were already public knowledge
has a sizeable effect on markets on the day it
is released?

Of course, there are also cases when the market did
not have all the information that are available to
a rating agency and that led to its decisions.
Thus a more general question: are there statistical
studies on market behaviors before and after rating
changes?

Hi Peter,

You are right to say most of the information being in  public domain , yet the
rating has an advantage as they are subject to the following:

structured form of study
parameters as applicable for the respective industry
detailsd past , present and future course and directions
business risk , beta and other parameters including peer comparison not only
with the benchmarked company / ies.
not to forget the management skills and profitability

It is true that there is subjectivity involved in these agency and thus one
finds some get a way out.

Other members views solicited.

As far as I can observe, the impact on the markets can vary a lot from time to time and may not be consistent.

Anyway, such news can be used by traders to test either the upside or downside of the markets. Once traders can successfully drive the market to one side, herding usually follows.

Dear members and visitors!
Here is our 132nd month newsletter

1) Thought of the month

The Forex, and the sovereign bonds rates, are now the big game
in town
This is quite different from the stock market game.
The fundamentals are macroeconomics, while stocks are micro.

There are specific incertainties, linked to international politics.
Governments are hard players, and they have a few tricks in their bags.
But they seem to become preys more than predators, as they lose
their good old privileged position.
Globalization reduced the nations' role, power and clout.

A special aspect is the structural change occuring on the US dollar
and the US T bonds.
Those tremendous assets have been the top dogs, the pivot of the
system, the center of that financial universe.
But both are losing gradually their lustre.
This creates a growing void, a lack of a solid standard of value (*),
This lack of stable reference makes the game more chaotic / erratic.

Some pundits even wonder if the whole system is not going to fall
apart.
Is the new "gold rush" an advance signal of that potential collapse?

There are certainly members of our group who have an extendive
knowledge of those markets.
=> Can they give us some hints about the specific behavioral traits
seen in those arenas? And about their effects?
=> Also, who knows specific academic studies about this?

(*) btw, I wrote a little thing, still a draft, about what a new
monetary standard could be:.
http://knol.google.com/k/peter-greenfinch/towards-a-world-currency/2m7299842u04v\
/181#

2) Monthly activity
Again, we saw only a messsage trickle
The total since the start of this forum is 9215.
Hope we reach 10k ...in this century ;-))

Our membership is still ca. 1800 non bouncing members.
Gains and losses stay balanced

The price of gold surged in the past year. Some said gold is like the emperor without clothes. Thus, when people think gold should worth more, based on the belief that other believe the same, the price can go further north. But when many investors choose to believe that it is over-priced and sold it on a massive scale, the price can plunge. 

But the US$ that is used to buy gold can be another emperor without clothes. Maybe the dollar is even worse.

In this game of Emperor G without clothes Vs Emperor $ without clothes, it would be interesting to see how herding works for both of them. Does anyone have insight on the movement of price of gold explained based on BF? Is there anyway one can comfortably expect under what condition or at what time herding would push up price of one of them?

Hello

Good allegory KC, a fight of clothless emperors
or ex-emperors.

For a BF background, I would say it expresses a game of
trust and mistrust by economic players (the subjects
of the emperors ;-))
And in this game, the dollar is not the only trusted /
distrusted currency, and gold is not the only trusted /
distrusted hard asset, but they are the main stars of
the global monetary show.

As for the fundamental approach behind those feelings,
I would say they express consciously or unconsciously
a lack of a trustworthy standard and of a trustworthy
institution in global money matters, what I call
WOMOST and WOMOI:

http://knol.google.com/k/peter-greenfinch/towards-a-world-currency/2m7299842u04v\
/181#

There are certainly other behavioral / mental aspects,
we can review the whole list of cognitive, emotional and
reflexive biases.
A cultural approach might be that gold is made by nature,
currency are made by institutions.
Also gold is hard stuff, but without much practical use,
currencies are soft beings, essentially computer blips,
but backed by economic commitments.

I think KC opened the door to many thoughts.
I'm sure many members will express their own view in this
typical BF / BE related "case study".

By the way, further analysis on the topic and the holding of major central banks in different parts of the world may trigger the following question:

Should central banks include in their holdings something such as stocks and real estate investments rather than mostly major currencies and gold?

Going one step further, did currencies become toxic assets? ;-)
But not easy to decide which other assets are safe enough,
even when taking into account diversification / decorrelation.
Maybe the rain forests would do the trick, a way to protect
them. The problem is that they are not liquid assets (pun apart).
