The antidote for buy-and-hope propaganda, this talk will uncover and illustrate the selling problems individuals face and will provide practical solutions and a checklist. Investors have much more difficulty in selling than in buying. The speaker will focus on what makes selling hard, and therefore how to overcome its problems. A behavioral-finance approach is the basis, and will be explained. He will then provide concrete suggestions on how to set selling rules and what mistakes to avoid. His presentation on this topic at the 2009 AAII National Conference was attended by over 200.

Attend this meeting to learn:

• Why we all have such trouble selling.
• How to spot personal behaviors to work on.
• Key signals not to ignore.

Reasons to attend:

• Gain new tools in your investing arsenal.
• Avoid holding and hoping until losses become large.
• Get answers to specific questions from author/speaker.
