About the Project
Cognitive biases are automatic "thinking shortcuts" the brain uses to make quick decisions. In everyday life they can be helpful, but in investing they often lead to costly mistakes: buying assets based on emotion, holding losing investments for too long, overestimating one's forecasts, or following the crowd.
Behavioral economics research — including the work of Daniel Kahneman, Richard Thaler, and more recent studies published between 2023–2026 — shows that even professional investors are vulnerable to these biases. These mechanisms explain a large portion of deviations from rational financial behavior.
Understanding these biases does not eliminate mistakes completely, but it significantly improves decision quality and reduces emotional volatility in financial decision-making.
This webinar series does not provide investment recommendations and does not analyze specific assets. Instead, it explores the most common cognitive biases in investment thinking, how they appear in real situations, and simple techniques that help identify and reduce their impact.
