ADVISORY/Investment Behavior NYSSA Program On Profiting From Behavior Finance.Business Editors ADVISORY ... for Thursday (Nov. 7) --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NEW YORK Oct. 31, 2002--The New York Society of Security Analysts will present Investor Behavior: Profiting from Behavioral Finance, on Thursday, November 7, 2002. This conference will zero in on the mysteries of human behavior and how it affects investment decisions. Those engaged in the investment process--analysts, portfolio mangers, traders and their clients--are bombarded by an array of influences that distort decisions. Academics have raised our awareness of those influences but little has been done to translate what can be done to avert the sometimes tragic impact on our ability to make sound choices under fire. Descriptors like heuristics, affect, prospect theory, agency friction, contagion, and so on, are all becoming a larger part of investor vernacular. But, again, knowing what they are is one thing; not letting them get the best of us is another. The conference will discuss what practical steps can be taken to keep investors from being their own worst enemies. Speakers include: David Dreman, Chairman, Dreman Value Management, Inc.; Paul Slovic, President, Decision Research & Professor of Psychology, University of Oregon The University of Oregon is a public university located in Eugene, Oregon.
