The webinar will discuss how even the best investment strategy, based on rigorous planning and research, can be trumped by unconscious impulses and mood swings.

Plus, the webinar will point out how even financial professionals have personal biases which can trap them into making unconscious choices that may help their own wealth over that of their clients'.

Geddes, will provide practical advice on how to make good investment decisions and avoid the worst dangers that are lurking in your brain or those of your financial advisors.
