    What Leads to Investing Mistakes?

    What Leads to Investing Mistakes?

    Being a better investor doesn’t require you to spend hours and hours researching the latest trends and market data. The most important change people can make is taking emotions out of their decision-making. It’s much easier said than done, which is why we see people make these same emotional mistakes time and time again.
     
    We’re excited to bring on Lee Hyder of Lee Hyder & Associates today to discuss this common challenge that pilots and other investors face when managing their finances. Why do we repeat these mistakes and what can we do to remove emotions from our investing? We’ll explore that in this video and provide you with some guidance on how to overcome this emotional pitfall.
     
    Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
    0:00 – Intro
    0:22 – Emotional investing
    2:32 – Being active doesn’t mean more success
    6:30 – Advice for pilots
    9:00 – Watching someone make mistakes

    What should I do with my Delta profit sharing bonus?

    What should I do with my Delta profit sharing bonus?

    Delta paid out a large profit-sharing bonus this month, which is great for those pilots who received a check on Valentine’s Day. The question we get a lot when these bonuses get paid is what should you be doing with it?
    We wanted to shoot this short video to provide some general guidance for pilots who have some extra money to invest or save. It might not be specific advice but it should give you some ideas for how you’ll use the bonus. We’d love to talk to you more about your investment strategies if you have additional questions.

    Crafting Investment Philosophies Around Retirement with Lee Hyder

    We’re excited to bring on Lee Hyder of Lee Hyder & Associates today to share insights and stories from 30+ years of experience. Join us as we go back and forth on the highs and lows investors face, underscoring the need for resilience and a long-term outlook when building a portfolio for retirement.
    We spend the first part of the how discussing fees and how you should approach them with your investment portfolio. Who wouldn’t pay a percent or two to get an extra three or four percent return? That’s part of what you should be evaluating and we’ll get Lee’s insight on how he evaluates investments for clients. Plus, let’s take a look at the S&P 500 and why it isn’t the way to get true diversification in your portfolio.
