This talk is not all about investing, but I do use investment examples, and "emotional intelligence" can certainly improve investment outcomes. I'm sharing this because I think the subject is important, and giving it due consideration can help a lot of people in many ways. If you're curious about what sort of things I think about when I'm not thinking about rocks, this is an example. Note that the audience was a Mavericks gathering—a community of wealthy libertarians—so my presentation assumes that common ground. However, the main points should be just as clear to non-libertarians.
