Features:

What really moves the market: Understanding the psychological aspects.

Traditional finance texts focus on developing the tools that investors use for calculating risk and return. The Psychology of Investing is one of the first texts to delve into how psychology affects investing rather than solely focusing on traditional financial theory. This text¿s material, however, does not replace traditional investment textbooks but complements them, helping students become better informed investors who understand what motivates the market. 

Keep learning consistent: Most of the chapters are organized in a similar succession.

This approach adheres to following order:
-A psychological bias is described and illustrated with everyday behavior
-The effect of the bias on investment decisions is explained
-Academic studies are used to show why investors need to remedy the problem

Growing with the subject matter: Current and fresh information.

Because data on investor psychology is rapidly increasing, the fifth edition contains many new additions to keep students up-to-date.
