Drawing on the latest scientific research, Jason Zweig shows what happens in your brain when you think about money and tells investors how to take practical, simple steps to avoid common mistakes and become more successful. What happens inside our brains when we think about money? Quite a lot, actually, and some of it isn’t good for our financial health. In Your Money and Your Brain, Jason Zweig explains why smart people make stupid financial decisions—and what they can do to avoid these mistakes. Zweig, a veteran financial journalist, draws on the latest research in neuroeconomics, a fascinating new discipline that combines psychology, neuroscience, and economics to better understand financial decision making. He shows why we often misunderstand risk and why we tend to be overconfident about our investment decisions. Your Money and Your Brain offers some radical new insights into investing and shows investors how to take control of the battlefield between reason and emotion. Your Money and Your Brain is as entertaining as it is enlightening. In the course of his research, Zweig visited leading neuroscience laboratories and subjected himself to numerous experiments. He blends anecdotes from these experiences with stories about investing mistakes, including confessions of stupidity from some highly successful people. Then he draws lessons and offers original practical steps that investors can take to make wiser decisions. Anyone who has ever looked back on a financial decision and said, “How could I have been so stupid?” will benefit from reading this book.

Una ingeniosa y esclarecedora guía de supervivencia para la jungla financiera En todas las profesiones, el propósito de la jerga técnica es confundir a los legos y excluir a los que no son parte del gremio. También en la industria financiera es habitual darle la vuelta como un calcetín a las palabras para que su significado acabe siendo justamente el opuesto. Jason Zweig, periodista financiero de larga trayectoria y buen conocedor de Wall Street, se ocupa en este libro de esclarecer las complejidades, oscuridades y pomposidades de la jerigonza bursátil. Y lo hace mediante definiciones sucintas que todo el mundo pueda entender. Emulando la obra maestra del escritor satírico Ambrose Bierce, El diccionario del diablo, Zweig ha escrito su propio diccionario financiero del diablo, con divertidísimas acepciones que muestran el verdadero significado de los eufemismos financieros. Pese a su tono humorístico, este libro es una herramienta fundamental para dominar las múltiples formas en que Wall Street usa el lenguaje para ocultar información y poner por delante intereses espurios. Porque si uno no comprende el galimatías de Wall Street, puede acabar optando por la inversión errónea y ver su sueño de una jubilación próspera reducido a cenizas. El diccionario financiero del diablo es la guía definitiva que permitirá a los inversores vacunarse frente a los engaños que impone la hipocresía del vocabulario de los banqueros, los brókers y los asesores financieros.

Es liefert unterhaltsame, leicht verständliche Definitionen und Einblicke - scharfsinnig und spitz, wie der Stachel eines Skorpions. Es durchbricht das Dunkel und die Vortäuschungen der Wall Street und bereitet Investoren einen klaren Pfad zwischen Euphorie und Verzweiflung. Von A wie AAA bis Z wie Zombie Fonds - ein unentbehrlicher Survival-Guide für die feindliche Wildnis der Finanzmärkte. Dem finanziellen Purgatorium zu entkommen, war niemals so lustig.

《投資金律》作者威廉‧伯恩斯坦 專文推薦 《華爾街日報》有史以來最知名理財專欄作家傑森‧茲威格 為你量身打造「最安全」的獲利守則 金融詐騙事件頻傳，無時無刻都有人受騙上當，失去仰賴終老的退休金或血汗錢。 還記得那場500多億美元、長達20年的金融詐騙案， 伯納．馬多夫騙走的是，那些你所以為最聰明的人的錢， 例如：知名經濟學家亨利．考夫曼（Henry Kaufman）、製片家史蒂芬．史匹柏（Steven Spielberg）、 媒體大亨莫堤摩．祖克曼（Mortimer B. Zuckerman）等人。 千萬不要以為自己會是那個例外！ 投資應該攻守合一，你的財務狀況必須建立在安全的基礎上。 該怎麼做？ 【投資前：謹守投資三戒】 當代最具影響力金融評論家傑森・茲威格提出「投資三戒」， 教你看清市場陷阱、戰勝自己的貪欲、打造安全資產組合， 進而實現安然致富、財務自由！ ■迷思1：投資自家公司獲利多？ 錯！無論是房屋、股票、基金、債券，所有投資都有金融資本和人力資本兩種風險，因此，絕不要將雞蛋放在同一個籃子裡。舉例來說，假設你任職於A公司，就不要投資A公司的股票，就算仍想持有，比例最好也不要超過投資組合的10％。 →戒律1：不要去冒不必要的風險。 ■迷思2：高收益和低風險可以兼得？ 錯！世上沒有絕對安全的投資，如果有基金經理人宣稱可以讓你「比現金的報酬更多，風險卻更低」，或「收費較高，是因為收益也較好」，這絕對是詐騙陷阱。風險低和收益高都是可能實現的，但絕不可能同時出現在同一筆投資。 →戒律2：如果不能確定會有收穫，就不要去冒險。 ■迷思3：槓桿型、反向型ETF能放大獲利？ 錯！對短線交易者來說，這或許是個好工具，但對尋求投資安全的長期投資者來說，那會是一場災難。因為好績效時的收益會加倍成長，但別忘了，壞績效時損失也同樣翻倍，甚至會讓你愈跌愈深，無法翻身。 →戒律3：如果發現自己可能輸不起，就不要冒險做投資。 【投資時：打造理想的投資組合】 理想的投資組合應該既「穩定」，又具「流動性」， 也就是，既要有不會消失市場價值的資產（穩定）， 也要能隨時能將之換成現金，且不會損失太多（流動性）。 請遵守以下3大原則，彈性調整自己的投資組合： ■原則1：務必建立財務的流動性水庫 如何評估自己的資產是否具有流動性？很簡單：看看自己在沒有其他收入的狀況下，能否以現金支撐一年的開銷。如果可以的話，表示資產頗具流動性，可考慮取一部分投入風險較高、報酬也較高的投資。 ■原則2：不要被灌風的投報率所迷惑 債券是一種安全資產，可以用來對抗通貨緊縮，讓你的投資組合安然度過難關，但千萬不要以追求高殖利率為優先考量，你該看的是整體報酬率。別在經紀人的慫恿下，一窩蜂選購號稱高投報率的標的，因為此舉等於是將自己口袋裡的錢，變成他們的高佣金。 ■原則3：永遠等到第二天才去投資 每個人的風險承受度都不一樣，這也取決於當下的環境和最近的利得與損失，但最重要的是承擔風險的能力，記得要自問：未來的收入和花費需要會有什麼變化？而且，永遠不要在一個投資想法浮現的當下就去執行，耐心等到第二天，看自己看待事情的角度是否不變。 此外，本書還要教你： 1. 避免在投資時陷入心理偏誤，如何利用反向思考； 2. 識破詐騙集團常用的話術，守住你的財富； 3. 為你歸納出實用的19項提問，篩選出適合的理財顧問； 4. 告訴你怎麼和另一半攜手合作，做到聰明的分散風險。 …… 跟著本書的建議執行，就能為自己打造最安全、最堅實的投資基礎。 專業推薦 Jet Lee（Jet Lee的投資隨筆部落格版主） 陳思聖（大詩人的寂寞投資筆記版主） 楊斯棓醫師（年度暢銷書《人生路引》作者） 綠角（財經作家） 蔡至誠（PG財經筆記版主） （依姓氏筆畫排列） 各界讚譽 「傑森・茲威格對你的財務惡魔瞭若指掌，他知道惡魔住哪，也知道惡魔讓你變窮的原因，更知道你要怎麼打敗他們。」—威廉・伯恩斯坦（William J. Bernstein），《投資金律》作者 「在這個浮誇虛假的世界裡，有數百本書承諾會帶給你富裕的生活，而本書則是其中的一條美好清流。傑森・茲威格的建議清晰易懂且符合常理，讓投資人知道獲得適度報酬的同時，要如何避免落入誘人的錯誤之中。」——柏頓‧墨基爾（Burton G. Malkiel），《漫步華爾街：超越股市漲跌的成功投資策略》作者 「篇幅短小、內容有趣、於理有據，且充滿智慧。難怪有那麼多人愛讀傑森・茲威格的書。」——查爾斯．艾利斯（Charles D. Ellis），《投資終極戰：耶魯操盤手告訴你，投資這樣做才穩賺》作者 「摩西帶著十誡下山，而茲威格只帶了三個。但摩西花了40年才抵達應許之地，茲威格可是快得多，他將帶領你到達投資的綠洲。」——梅爾・史塔曼（Meir Statman），聖塔克拉拉大學格倫柯利梅克（Glenn Klimek）財務金融教授 「說到守護財富（還有守護理智），沒人比傑森・茲威格更有料。他寫什麼，我就讀什麼，而你也該讀一讀。」——琴恩・查茲基（Jean Chatzky），NBC《今日秀》財經編輯、《理財急救術》作者 「傑森・茲威格讓投資人理解追求財務目標，同時避免財務災難的方法。現在就開始閱讀這本書，在做出重大的投資決策之前，也要再讀一遍。」——特倫斯・歐丁（Terrance Odean），加州大學柏克萊分校哈斯商學院，羅德家族基金會財務金融教授

Descripción del editor: " "¿CÓMO PUEDO SER TAN IDIOTA?" SI NUNCA te gritaste esa frase con furia, no eres un inversor. Puede que no haya nada en todo el espectro del esfuerzo humano que haga que tantas personas inteligentes se sientan tan estúpidas como al invertir.Es por eso que este libro explica, en términos que cualquier inversor pueda entender, qué sucede dentro del cerebro cuando tomas decisiones sobre el dinero. Para hacer el mejor uso de cualquier herramienta o máquina, es útil saber algo sobre cómo funciona; nunca maximizarás tu riqueza a menos que puedas optimizar tu mente.Al igual que las personas que hacen dieta y cambian de estrategia una y otra vez para terminar tan pesadas como comenzaron, los inversores suelen ser sus propios peores enemigos, incluso cuando saben más:Todo el mundo sabe que debe comprar barato y vender caro y, sin embargo, con demasiada frecuencia, compramos caro y vendemos barato.Todo el mundo sabe que ganarle al mercado es casi imposible, pero casi todo el mundo piensa que puede hacerlo.Todo el mundo sabe que la venta en pánico es una mala idea, pero una empresa que anuncia que ganó 23 centavos por acción en lugar de 24 centavos puede perder 5 mil millones de valor de mercado en un minuto y medio.Todo el mundo sabe que los analistas de Wall Street no pueden predecir lo que el mercado está a punto de hacer, pero los inversores siguen pendientes de cada palabra de los expertos financieros que pronostican en programas de televisión.Todo el mundo sabe que perseguir acciones o fondos de moda es una forma segura de fracaso; sin embargo, millones de inversores vuelven a calentarse cada año. Muchos lo hacen a pesar de que juraron, solo uno o dos años antes, no volver a quemarse nunca más" (Baelo).
