There’s no shortage of debate over managed funds these days -- from being the "cause" of market volatility to the whipping boy for Occupy Wall Street. The simple truth is, the potential for enormous gains in these pools of capital make for a hot topic...
... And yet, you might be surprised to learn about how fund investors actually fare, even when they participate in high-performing funds.
Prechter's presentation -- along with the eleven other scholars and researchers who addressed the conference -- reflects the state of the art of the study of social mood. Recent global turmoil is a clear reminder that there's never been a more important time to understand how herding and social mood patterns govern the financial world.
To learn more about "herding" in financial markets – and how social mood is the key to the patterned behavior of investors – will help you anticipate where the major trends are headed.
