Fairfax Money reporter David Wilson interviews Certified Financial Planner Peter Horsfield on how we can overcome share market anxiety.
With new buzz words like momentum trading, neuro-investing, behavioural based, contrarian and many more its easy to be confused not know what to do.
What's the best approach to investing?
Peter Horsfield Founder of SMART advice says neuro-investing is an industry buzzword and that the practice has limits. "I think it is just one of the approaches that forms a total comprehensive approach helping clients achieve their goals. I.e.. it's more a philosophy than a silver bullet solution," Horsfield, who is otherwise enthusiastic, says.
In his view, neuro-investing delivers a more effective and tailored outcome than just scanning analytical data: it teaches us to overcome our animal instincts – our herd mentality, deterring us from buying high and selling low.
