4 BIG investing mistakes to AVOID (and how behavioral finance can help us) with Thomas Laureys [015]

The FIRE Belgium Show

Research shows that investors underperform the market by 3 to 4% on average each year! 

That’s half of the returns of the market!

And this is due to investment biases and mistakes many investors make.

In this episode with Thomas Laureys, we talk about the 4 most common mistakes and biases that prevent investors from getting good investment returns. And how to prevent them.

We dive deep into behavioral finance and investor psychology and share our thoughts on how to avoid those biases and become better investors.

Thomas is a freelance writer who writes about investing and behavioral finances for organizations like the VFB and many big finance newspapers in Belgium. He’s read more books on investing than anyone I know. He ‘s one of my favorite writers on LinkedIn where he shares lots of great knowledge for investors.
