Recenzje

"[Nations] has studied the math and history of market volatility, and his new book focuses on the psychology that drives it. ... The Anxious Investor weaves the latest behavioral finance studies into an engaging narrative history. ... Investors might do well to review the lessons shared in Mr. Nations's book-and to try to conquer the anxiety that volatility can create even for the most seasoned and thoughtful financiers." - Wall Street Journal

"I often say that fear, greed, hope, and ignorance are the four horsemen of the investment apocalypse, and note, only one is not an emotion. Emotional decisions may be made in the heat of a market meltdown, but also when markets are seemingly going to the moon. In The Anxious Investor, Scott Nations offers a close look at why these emotions are so destructive to your investment goals and offers a checklist of these emotional biases to help the reader understand and avoid them. The next time the market gets crazy, having this book by your side may help you overcome those four horsemen and stick with your long-term objectives." - JIM O'SHAUGHNESSY, New York Times Bestselling Author of What Works on Wall Street

"Financial instruments and technology have evolved since the first market bubble in 1720, but across three-hundred years of manias and panics one aspect of markets remains unchanged: human nature. Through fascinating case studies, Scott Nations reveals why investors repeatedly succumb to the same behavioral shortcomings, and how to avoid them when times get tough. Nations' entertaining and educational style makes this book accessible for all investors interested in the psychology of markets." - JAMIE CATHERWOOD, "The Finance History Guy"

"It's been remarked that if you don't know who you are, the stock market is an expensive place to find out. With his new book, Scott Nations explains why mastering your own mental state is the most critical variable of all." - JOSHUA BROWN, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and CNBC Contributor

"Nations's advice is grounded and practical, and the wealth of research backing it will leave readers feeling like they're in good hands. New and seasoned investors alike will find this worth a look." - Publishers Weekly
