Are your investments doing the best they can?

 

In this episode, Mark addresses a crucial component that impacts investment portfolios: behavioral investing. Too many investors "over value" input from financial industry news, trends or pundits and, as a result, leaves them with little understanding of the investments they own within their portfolios. Thus, at the very least, this leads to investor portfolio's being under or over-diversified and makes it difficult for investors to effectively and objectively evaluate their portfolio's performance.
