Teenagers have a remarkable ability to make the easy choice today and postpone the hard and difficult choice until tomorrow And some of us grow up, having perfected that ability, making even more bad choices as adults I have interviewed hundreds of investors over the years, from small and starting out to having-arrived billionaires I am always amazed by the mistakes they make and the inventive rational they use for having made them As a nation and a world, we have made numerous bad choices, taken the easy road, and ended up in the worst global economic crisis in 80 years Now we are faced with a set of difficult choices as we work our way back to a new normal History is replete with bad choices by both individuals and nations In the past few decades, a new science has emerged that has taken note of the fact that not only are we sometimes irrational, but we are predictably irrational This new behavioral science has started looking at how we go about making decisions and is finding all sorts of interesting, if sometimes distressing, things about the human species It seems that our emotions and much of our decision-making process is hard wired into our brains, developed for survival on the African savannahs some 100,000 years ago We adapted to movement, learning to make decisions quickly, because there was quite a difference, literally life and death, between dodging dangerous lions and chasing succulent antelope And while those survival instincts are quite useful in general, when translated into a modern world, and especially a modern investment world, they make us prone to all sorts of errors Think of chasing momentum all too often in the hope that it will continue and running from falling markets just as they start to turn What works for survival in the African jungles is not as productive in the jungles of world finance Happily, we are not just homo mistakus If we had learned to make nothing but bad choices our species would have been consigned to the dust bin of history a long time ago, making room for some survivors less prone to error We clearly learned to make good choices as well, and to learn from our mistakes and even the success and wisdom of others As I mentioned earlier, I have formally interviewed hundreds of millionaires I am even more fascinated by choices they made that were the good (and sometimes brilliant!) ones, and the processes they used to ...
