PRESENTATION TOPIC-- Estates
and Taxes
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
What is estate planning? Estate planning is
about maintaining control of your assets during life and disability, but
it is also about preserving the estate at death. A health care
directive, for example, gives critical guidance to family and loved ones
when you cannot make medical decisions or make your wishes known. One of
the many advantages of having a power of attorney in place is to allow a
designated agent to make reasonable and responsible decisions on your
behalf. During this presentation, we will cover this and other important
estate planning techniques.

PRESENTATION TOPIC-- Behavioral
Finance

presentations of the Saturday, January 4, 2020 meeting -- Philip Weiss
"Behavior Finance"
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
We find ourselves torn between emotion and
logic when making decisions. We also know that people decide differently
under pressure or if high risks are involved—exactly the kind of
scenario experienced by investors. We find that investors often expend
too much energy trying to avoid making hard choices by looking for an
informational advantage that will guarantee them a “sure thing.” Instead
investors should simply focus on making better decisions. While none of
us can avoid behavioral biases completely, processes can be put in place
to help avoid the potential impact of these errors. In this
presentation, we discuss a number of behavioral biases and what can be
done to limit their impact. .
ATTEND THIS MEETING TO LEARN:
1.
Why Behavioral Finance is relevant for investors.
2. How Behavioral
Biases can affect investor decisions.
3. What can be done to limit
the impact of Behavioral Biases.
