Assessing the Long-Term Impact of Initial Market Performance on Investors’ Risk-Taking Behavior
Get PDFSince World War II, financial markets have been traditionally analyzed through quantitative models, yet these approaches often fail to account for the psychological and behavioral tendencies of investors. This study examines how investors’ initial experiences with market conditions shape their long-term risk-taking behavior. Findings suggest that individual market experiences, personal background, demographics, and other factors all influence how investors perceive risk. For instance, those who enter the market during periods of volatility may develop a more risk-averse mindset, while investors who experience strong bull markets early on may become overconfident in their future decisions. These insights have significant implications for individuals, financial advisors, and economic models, emphasizing the need to evolve our “money scripts” and integrate behavioral finance principles into investment strategies. By understanding their own biases, financial professionals can tailor advice to their clients’ unique psychological tendencies, mitigating subconscious behaviors that lead to suboptimal investment choices. Furthermore, policymakers and financial institutions can use these insights to design educational initiatives and risk management tools that help investors make more informed decisions. Ultimately, incorporating behavioral finance into traditional economic models can lead to a more holistic understanding of economies and more resilient financial decision-making at both the individual and institutional levels
Shame, Loneliness, Regret: Analyzing theEffectiveness of Anti-Alcohol Marketing Campaigns on Consumers
Get PDFThe alcohol market has been growing exponentially worldwide over the past decade with no trends of stopping in the near future. With this growth comes an increase in marketing efforts from both pro-alcohol companies and anti-alcohol agencies. While pro-alcohol companies have not had any trouble regarding marketing, anti-alcohol agencies have lagged behind in terms of social and digital marketing efforts. The goal of this research was to uncover how various anti-alcohol stimuli affect consumer attitudes and beliefs. To conduct research, we ran a Qualtrics survey consisting of 279 college students. The results showed that 1) when participants viewed an anti-alcohol stimulus featuring a male, they were more likely to have a positive attitude towards the stimulus if it was in second person point of view 2) when participants viewed an anti-alcohol stimulus featuring a female, they were more likely to have a positive attitude towards the stimulus if it was in first person point of view 3) when participants viewed an anti-alcohol stimulus featuring a male, they were more likely to recommend alcohol if the stimuli was in first person point of view and 4) when participants viewed an anti-alcohol stimulus featuring a female, they were more likely to recommend alcohol if the stimuli was in second person point of view
How the Modern Age of Technology has Affected Young Individuals\u27 Financial Literacy and Investment Opportunities
Get PDFThe ways technology has impacted the information that is accessible and readily available on financial literacy and investment opportunities is greatly significant and has opened a plethora of new opportunities to the next generations. With online resources free and at the touch of a button individuals can learn about investing before they are an adult (18 years old) that way when they turn 18, they are able to jump on this great opportunity, setting them up for greater financial stability. By conducting a logically set up survey of older and younger individuals, those that had and had not yet invested results of the power of technology on investing were dramatically shown. Younger generations had a much greater understanding of investing and how to find more information, whereas older generations were playing catch up learning this information now as they did not know about investing before they were an adult. The survey also suggested that while this information is readily available, individuals still must have the desire to seek it out and after learning from these more accessible resources act on the information and invest. This is now where a roadblock is being seen and where AI could potentially begin to play a larger role

Jacques-Richard Chery
Born 1929, Cap Haitien, Haiti
Chery always painted as a young man, but to support himself worked first as a barber, then as a gas station attendant. In 1961, he joined the Centre d\u27Art in Port-au-Prince, subsequently exhibiting abroad.
Although initially rendering mostly historical scenes and scenes from daily life (some of which are considered among Haiti\u27s more important works of art), Chery appears to have later taken greater delight in painting more whimsical canvases. His paintings of children and child-like merchants carrying larger than life bowls of fruit on their heads, for instance, are very popular, but not great works of art. And his charming renditions of the popular means of transportation in Haiti, the colorfully and humorously decorated Tap-Tap, are also done with a great sense of joy.
