Lose your password
Ever heard of Fidelity’s “Lose Your Password” investor study? The old white whale. Barry Ritholtz’s guest Patrick O’Shaughnessy mentioned it on Masters in Business c. 2014, and it’s still rent free because it’s so compelling. (Fidelity Reviewed Which Investors Did Best And What They Found Was Hilarious – September 2014)
The study is an urban legend but I still love the phrase ‘lose your password’.
1/That story was told to me by a former colleague which perhaps allowed me to lower my guard on it. When I went looking for it, I found nothing. Pure Urban Legend. Underlying the importance of seeing the source material. My passing it on in an interview gave it more life.

For financial advisors, understanding the psychology (mainly: overconfidence) behind active trading is KEY to client education. One of the three topics I suggest is “Expectations vs. Reality” of trying to beat the stock market. It’s gold for engaging content.
