Title: Popular Delusions & the Madness of Markets
Summary: The investment markets routinely cycle between fear and greed. Successful investors are often the ones who can keep their heads when others are losing theirs. Blindly following conventional wisdom or the whims of popular opinion can get you in trouble. The reason why that is the markets are forward looking, not backward looking. In the world of investments, what everybody already knows isn’t worth knowing. In this presentation, Mr. Hackney, Chief Investment Officer of Atlanta Capital Management, traces the history of key market turning points and examines the popular delusions that prevailed at those crucial times. In addition, he identifies three popular delusions that prevail today and shows how investors might benefit from contrary, non-consensus thinking. Mr. Hackney’s presentation provides the audience with a wild ride through the history of disastrous investment mistakes and a thought-provoking glimpse of what lies ahead for the stock and bond markets.
