Predicting Human Nature
James B. Bell, CFA
The long history of booms and busts suggest they are a product of our human nature. Academics often teach that markets are coldly rational in nature, but experience suggests otherwise. A new field of study, termed behavioral finance, has evolved to analyze how our sometimes emotional brains understand and process events in the economy and financial markets. It is hoped that a better understanding of our instinctive responses and herd mentality could lead to better decisions in the future.

After all, the movement of fixed income investments (other than Treasury bonds) is not something you see tick-by-tick on CNBC or on the six-o’clock news every night.

Sideline Cash Hits Record Levels
James B. Bell, CFA
Following the turmoil in financial markets around the world, the level of cash being held by investors has risen to record levels. In fact, by some estimates the total value of money market funds held now exceeds the value of equity mutual funds. This situation is unprecedented, and with interest rates also at historical lows, it is just a matter of time until some of that cash is redeployed into other asset classes chasing better returns.
