What I have been reading - 9th December 2019

Here are my top picks from the last week:

Bull markets last much longer than you think:  If you are anxious about investing simply because the market has been going up for a while, you need to read this article.  Bull markets don't die of old age.
 

Ray Dalio is more famous than ever and delivering subpar returns:  Like I say, everything is always backwards and upside down when it comes to the world of investing!  

Emotional Alchemy:  Want to spend money without feeling guilty?   Check out this idea (watch the video at the bottom of the page too).

The reasons women don't get the feedback they need:  A interesting article from The Wall Street Journal.  When giving feedback, "write it down, and then ask yourself, would you email this to a white man and have it on the record?"

This 7-year-old has loved finances since age 3.  Here's how his parents taught him about money:  Kids understand a lot more about money than most people give them credit for.  A great article full of useful nuggets to help your children learn good habits early on in life.

Don't leave your best investor on the sub's bench:  This article does a good job of summarising some of the research around how men and women differ in their investing styles.  Sorry guys, testosterone isn't helping you here.  

FINALLY:
Why being kind makes you healthier:  "Choose being kind over being right, and you'll be right every time."  Research shows you'll also be happier and healthier.

ENJOY!
