I was recently interviewed again by Dan "The Money Man" Frishberg on BizRadio.com. We discussed some of the mistakes that are most common amongst investors including poor position sizing, under appreciation of downside risk, over confidence in asset selection, and inefficient use of ETFs. The conclusion of our discussion is that many of the woes of investors could be solved by simply calculating a risk-adjusted return for every asset in your portfolio.

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.
