Collaborative WIM in Partnership with Goelzer Investment Management Presents: "The Psychology of Money," featuring columnist, author and economist Morgan Housel
On January 19, we kicked off the 2022 CWIM event calendar with Morgan Housel. For the first time ever, we extended the event by a full 15 minutes (to 90 minutes total) in response to the incredible volume of questions posed to Morgan by attendees! Our Q&A discussion with Morgan ran a full hour, with friends from all over the world asking their questions of Morgan directly, live on camera. Thank you to everyone who participated, and especially to CFA Society of Idaho, Jim Steele, CFA, CAIA and Melanie Lewis for hosting, and to more than a dozen of our amazing friends who joined the #CWIM team as discussion facilitators. For those who missed it, enjoy the replay!
Overview
Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money―investing, personal finance, and business decisions―is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
