Popular Speaking Topics
the five modes of mindful investing
A mindful investor is aware of behavioral biases and actively works to minimize their impact. During this presentation, Dave will discuss how to recognize, restrain, respect, review, and reflect—the Five Modes of Mindful Investors— as a methodology to systematically identify common misbehaviors, adjust for them, and thereby improve one's performance.
investing with intention: the power of routines
Investors face a firehose of information every trading day, which can often lead to “analysis paralysis” due to an overflow of inputs. A thoughtful investor consumes information with intention, focusing on a consistent routine of evaluating the available evidence. Dave will share his experiences learning to fly an airplane and how the discipline of pilots can help investors craft a systematic investment process built on productive habits.
man vs. machine: the future of investment research
Over time the financial industry has transitioned from more qualitative to more quantitative forms of analysis. Some question whether quantitative methods will make traditional investment research obsolete. Dave feels the pendulum will swing back to the qualitative, where analysts are not replaced by computers. Instead they will use quantitative methods to enhance areas of research where humans have the advantage. Man vs. Machine becomes Man + Machine.
