Neurotic Personalities in Investment
The article is about recent studies that suggest someone with a neurotic personality would make a better investor. They make equal profits as their peer, and they lose less. The reasons being that someone with a neurotic personality is more like to do company research, and then go into an investment with more confidence. Another reason was that they are also known for being more sensitive in risky environments, so they were more likely to close when the investment peaked and take the profit and sell when it was droping. This is related to behavioral economics because it shows that different personalities are work differently when they are in certain economical situations.
This article was very interesting. I never would have guessed that a person with a neurotic personality would actually do well with stocks and everything like that. It is nice to know that just because someone is "different" they will still be able to find something they are good at that they can fit in with the rest of the crowd.
