Daniel Kahneman
All of us would be better investors if we just made fewer decisions.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
There's a tendency to look at investments in isolation. Investors focus on the risk of individual securities.
Daniel Kahneman
If owning stocks is a long-term project for you, following their changes constantly is a very, very bad idea. It's the worst possible thing you can do, because people are so sensitive to short-term losses. If you count your money every day, you'll be miserable.
Daniel Kahneman
An individual who expresses high confidence probably has a good story, which may or may not be true.
