Synopsis

Seize the advantage in every risk decision with the most misunderstood asset you have--human emotion "If you are trying to solve the unsolvable, stop. Read this first and you will learn that the surest path to success will be to start with yourself; solve that conundrum and challenges like understanding how you do and should react to markets will come to be solvable." --Marvin Zonis, Professor Emeritus, Booth School of Business, The University of Chicago "When it comes to fast-moving global financial markets, professional investors strive to evaluate complex economic conditions from data analysis, economic reasoning, and professional judgment. This is what is taught in business schools. Denise Shull demonstrates how investment decision making is also determined by unconscious emotions and perceptions. Market Mind Games is a fascinating book that proposes a new and unexpected hypothesis about the factors that drive financial decision-making." --A.G. Malliaris, Professor of Economics and Finance, Loyola University Chicago "Denise Shull wants us to get in touch with our feelings, not to beat our bare chests and utter primordial screams. Far from it--her techniques are focused on making more money." --Financial Times "Denise Shull's gem of a book is long overdue...[Market Mind Games] has made the ability to analyze and overcome our unconscious biases and prejudices available to everyone." --Dr. Donald T. Wargo, Department of Economics, Temple University "Market Mind Games is iconoclastic to say the very least! Pay attention to the last word in the subtitle: risk. This book will change your perspective on how to approach and think about the markets and your life!" --Michael J. Levas, Founder, Senior Managing Principal, and Director of Trading, Olympian Capital Management, LLC "Denise changes the way you look at yourself and investing. Her insights and methods are necessary to succeed in the markets, period." --Jared Levy, Portfolio Manager and author of Your Options Hand
