  • A Book that compels introspection

    James Montier explores the psychological shortfalls many investors face. Flush with examples, the book does not fail to force one to become cognizant of his own investing behaviors. When reading this book, I cannot help but have the question of "Do I do this?" reverberate in my mind.
