Selected Quotes from the Article:
“Many investors chafe at price targets because they smack of “false precision". Those investors are missing the point because the key to price targets is not their absolute validity but their explicit nature which allows for objective conversation about the assumptions that went into them.”
“Unlike real life, investors can track every investment choice they have ever made. Being able to analyze statistically significant trends on a complex and numerate datasets is a huge advantage and is a crucial tool in avoiding the confirmation biases that anecdotal thinkers lean on when rationalizing decisions.”
“Developing a process orientation isn’t about stifling fluidity or gut feel. It is about recognizing that intuition is actually an informal process. By being able to document and empirically study past behaviors, all investors can understand flaws in their internal process.”
