Seven Sins of Fund Management

Barry Ritholtz:

There is a terrific PDF (warning — its 105 pages) on the Seven Sins of Fund Management. It is a behavioural critique by James Montier, the Global Equity Strategist of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, and its full of all sorts of smart observations, backed up with data and charts.

I haven’t read prior work of Mr. Montier — but this PDF made me interested in his book, "Behavioural Finance: A User’s Guide."

I may be  referencing parts of the PDF in the future, but if you want an overview, here are the 7 Deadly Sins
