Review

“A terrific introduction to the emerging science of behavioral finance.” — Money magazine

“Great stuff. Fresh and helpful.” — BusinessWeek

“This very helpful book is aimed at the novice and the expert, and you come away from it somewhat chastened by your own financial mistakes, but hopeful that you might learn a thing or two about holding onto your hard-earned cash. The authors don’t offer simplistic solutions, but hard facts and sound advice.”

–Robert J. Hughes, SmartMoney

Martin Scorsese’s new movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a drug-addled con man who made millions by hawking worthless penny stocks to legions of unsuspecting buyers. As I sat through the 3-hour greed fest, I kept thinking, “Gee, I’d never be that stupid with my money.” Yeah, sure.

I was so smart that I believed the HR person from my former employer, a California tech company, who convinced me I should keep all my retirement earnings in the company stock and not bother diversifying. A year later those earnings dropped 85% in one day. Later, I was so smart I let my ex-husband invest my remaining money in his latest fool-proof investment strategy—God help me. I’ll spare you the gory details when, all by myself, I went into Forex, the foreign currency exchange that is so popular right now. Oh yeah, I was one smart cookie with money!

If you’re like me (fess up, I know I’m not alone), you’ll want to read the books I discovered as part of my resolution to “Be Smart in 2014.”

Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes—And How To Correct Them: Lessons from the New Science of Behavioral Economics (Simon & Schuster, 1999) is a book I should have read—and memorized–years ago. It’s a solid, reader-friendly, amazing look at why so many of us are stupid with money.

Authors Gary Belsky (a money journalist) and Thomas Gilovich (a Cornell psychologist) lay out convincing, and shocking, reasons why we are stupid. The overriding cause of our stupidity, they claim, is over-confidence. Our own, first, of course. We watch a TV money meister for a few weeks and think we’re experts.

But also because, in our “Culture of Confidence,” we are induced to equate confidence with actual expertise. Big mistake.
