Fundamental Analysis
Uses earnings and dividend prospects of the firm, expectations of future interest rates, and risk evaluation of the firm to determine proper stock prices.
Fundamental analysis is much beyond identifying well-run firms with good prospects. It is to identify companies better than every else’s estimate.

Experience with 911 Anticipating market chaos, panic selling and a disastrous loss of value in the wake of the attacks,
the NYSE and the Nasdaq remained closed until September 17, the longest shutdown since 1933. Moreover, many trading, brokerage and other financial firms had offices in the World Trade Center and were unable to function in the wake of the tragic loss of life and collapse of both towers.
On the first day of NYSE trading after 9/11, the market fell 684 points, a 7.1% decline, setting a record for the biggest loss in exchange history for one trading day. At the close of trading that Friday, ending a week that saw the biggest losses in NYSE history, the Dow Jones was down almost 1,370 points, representing a loss of over 14%.
Major stock sell-offs hit the airline and insurance sectors as anticipated when trading resumed. Hardest hit were American Airlines and United Airlines, carriers whose planes were hijacked for the terrorist attacks.
American Airlines (NYSE:AMR) stock dropped from a $29.70 per share close of September 11 to $18.00 per share close on September 17, a 39% decline. United Airlines (NYSE:UAL) stock dropped from $30.82 per share close to $17.50 per share on the close on September 17, a 42% decline.

Behavioral Finance
The premise of behavioral finance is that conventional financial theory ignores how real people make decisions and that people make a difference.
Investors Do Not Always Process Information Correctly
Investors Often Make Inconsistent or Systematically Suboptimal Decisions
Market Efficiency and Behavioral Finance

Behavioral Biases Framing
Decisions seem to be affected by how choices are framed – page 387 example
Mental Accounting A special form of framing in which people segregate certain decisions example
Regret Avoidance Individuals would have more regrets when their decisions are more
unconventional example

Loss aversion: utility depends not on the level of wealth from current levels.
The convex curvature to the left of the origin will induce investors to be risk seeking rather risk averse when it comes to losses
