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

Click here for the pdf 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.
