Key takeaways — Misbehaving
- ✓ Isaalang-alang ang pag-iwas sa pagkalugi: mas matindi ang takot ng tao na mawalan ng 100 dolyar kaysa ang pagnanais na kumita nito.
- ✓ Pagandahin ang ‘architectural choice’ sa produkto at opisina upang mahikayat ang mga tao sa tamang desisyon bilang default.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang mental accounting ng mga kliyente para sa mas epektibong pagpepresyo at marketing.
Key takeaways — The Intelligent Investor
- ✓ Isabuhay ang prinsipyo ng Margin of Safety sa bawat pamumuhunan, na nangangahulugang bibili ka ng mga ari-arian na may malaking discount sa kanilang tunay na halaga upang maprotektahan laban sa posibleng pagkalugi.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Mr. Market sa iyong pabor sa pamamagitan ng pagbili kapag siya ay makulit na pessimistic at pagbebenta kapag siya ay sobra-sobrang optimistic, sa halip na sundin ang emosyon niya.
- ✓ Isabagay ang pananaw ng isang Defensive Investor, na nakatuon sa sistematikong pagpili ng mataas na kalidad na mga negosyo na undervalued at pagpapanatili ng isang balanseng, diversified na portfolio.
