This article, albeit from 2021.08.12, is related to my recent post on investors still holding out for GameStop. This article suggests: “the next generation of investors probably isn’t the average 31-year-old with a Robinhood Markets Inc. account. Instead, they’re more likely to come from the
college investment funds across the U.S. that give students the chance to manage serious money.” Sacramento State University also has a Student Investment Fund, which operates through the FIN160/MBA299A Student Investment Fund Management class: HTML. Let the Bloomberg.com article below be one more bit of motivation for students to be part of Student Investment Funds, such as that operated through FIN160/MBA299A here at California State University, Sacramento.

Enjoy the read,

Greetings everyone. It has been quite some time since my last post. This article was brought to my attention by a former student. It reminds me of readings on cognitive dissonance (HTML), the frog-in-pan theory (HTML), and epistemic trespassing (HTML). In short, some folks double-down on their wrong views (cognitive dissonance), hold on to their losing position as losses mount (frog-in-pan theory), and all the while speak outside their expertise as if they were an expert (epistemic trespassing).

May you find those three links and this Wall Street Journal article interesting…
