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
Image
Researchers who studied a thousand Dutch vacationers concluded that by far the greatest amount of happiness extracted from the vacation is derived from the anticipation period.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
One thing we have lost, that we had in the past, is a sense of progress, that things are getting better. There is a sense of volatility, but not of progress.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
All of us would be better investors if we just made fewer decisions.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
Alternative descriptions of the same reality evoke different emotions and different associations.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
It was always assumed I would be a professor. I grew up thinking it.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
That's one of the real dangers of leader selection in many organizations: leaders are selected for overconfidence.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
Poverty is clearly one source of emotional suffering, but there are others, like loneliness. A policy to reduce the loneliness of the elderly would certainly reduce suffering.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
I would not advise people to buy a car or house without making a list. You will probably improve your intuitions by making a list and then sleeping on it.

The effort invested in 'getting it right' should be commensurate with the importance of the decision.
