Why This Webinar Series Matters
Even experienced investors regularly make mistakes that have little to do with lack of knowledge or analytical skills. They buy during market euphoria, sell during panic, overestimate their own forecasting abilities, and ignore obvious risks — largely because the human brain relies on cognitive shortcuts that often work against us in financial decision-making.
Cognitive biases such as confirmation bias, loss aversion, overconfidence, anchoring, and herd mentality are not personal weaknesses but deeply embedded psychological mechanisms that once helped humans survive. In modern financial environments, however, these mechanisms can lead to systematic errors.
Research in behavioral finance, including the work of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky and more recent studies published between 2023–2026 in the Journal of Behavioral Finance and the Review of Financial Studies, suggests that cognitive biases may explain up to 70–80% of poor investment decisions, even among professionals.
This webinar series provides a calm and practical exploration of the most common cognitive traps in investment thinking, why they influence decisions so strongly, and what scientifically grounded techniques can help people recognize and mitigate them.
No stock recommendations, no "how to make a million," and no financial advice — only an understanding of how the mind works and tools for making more conscious decisions.
