Alpha Theory Founder on Fox Business News This Afternoon

Alpha Theory Founder and President, Cameron Hight, will be featured on Fox Business News’ “Countdown to the Closing Bell” on Wednesday, December 31st at 3:40pm EST. He will be discussing a two step approach to making better portfolio decisions in 2009.

Step 1: Before making any investment, force yourself to write down your potential profit if your thesis is correct, loss if you are incorrect and the probability of each.

Step 2: Use those numbers to calculate a basic risk-adjusted return.  The math is easy and a calculator can be found on our website: www.AlphaTheory.com/calculator.

A risk-adjusted return becomes your tool to ensure that you are making a rational decision instead of relying on mental calculation and heuristics.
