Hormones stock
Often years we have been in the bag without doubt brokers have to be made of other wood to withstand such pressure and able to act outside of all emotions such as fear or euphoria.
So I ask myself what characterizes these brokers? What goes through their bodies? Do something special?.
Fortunately, this is what they asked two researchers from Cambridge University, John Coates and J. Herbert, who were proposed to determine the hormonal changes experienced by operators bag. As a hypothesis, proposed an increase of testosterone as a hormone associated with aggression, and of cortisol, which is related to stress management. They interviewed 17 operators in the London Stock Exchange, for eight days, and measured in their saliva hormone levels before and after the workday.
The authors found that increased testosterone meant to achieve major gains. One of the operators, after six days, doubled its results at once that his testosterone level rose by 74%. If at the end of the day, had a high level of testosterone, their earnings that day exceeded the monthly average, and if the level was high before you start the day, its results will also exceed the average. In short, more testosterone, more profits.
The financial journalist Jason Zweig believes that in moments of success, investment can create addiction. "If one makes money and more money, it creates an addiction similar to chemical drugs, and it is difficult to quit."
Researchers from the universities of Stanford, Carnegie and Iowa went further and compared the reactions of ordinary people with others who had suffered brain injuries that limited his emotions. They perform better because the first stop betting for fear of losing everything. According to one of the authors of the study, Baba Shiv, "emotions have a role to accelerate decision-making, but in some circumstances it is better to refrain from emotional response and make a wiser decision." Coates attributed to hormones such reactions little sound of the brain.
This may explain the greed of many and not knowing how to retire early. So you know, Be very careful with your hormones ... and with those of others.

Good morning,
Again I put my commentary on Friday to clarify some doubts:
--------------
Good morning, everyone.
You read every day but almost never write. Today I'm going to do it because I see that there is much confusion when it comes to amortize: Reduce quota or to reduce period?
Same thing. You can check with a mortgage simulator (one excel in that tells you what you pay each month).
Mortgage assumption:
- 300.000 €
- 35 years
- 5% interest
- Monthly fee of € 1514
- Ability to save 500 € / month
Case 1: There unamortized anything.
For the 35 years he would have paid:
- € 300,000 of debt
- Interest 335,906 €
- € 635,906 in total
Case 2: There unamortized reduction period.
Amortized annually throughout our ability to save (€ 6,000 in total)
For the 20 years is settled and we paid the prentamo:
- € 300,000 of debt
- Interest 173,996 €
- € 473,991 in total - a savings of more than 160,000 €
Case 3: There unamortized reduction quota.
Amortized annually throughout our ability to save (€ 6,000 in total) + what we save by reducing share
For the 20 years is settled and we paid the prentamo:
- € 300,000 of debt
- Interest 178,300 €
- € 478,300 in total - a savings of more than 157,000 €
What more interested?
Everyone do what they want, but I think it is better to reduce share as if your life is stable for 20 years, you pay almost as much (a total difference of less than 3,000 €).
Now, what if we have a labor problem in 10 years? The fee instead of being in 1514 will be € 1074 €.
So, in case of economic necessity, have the ability to € 500 savings over the 440 € difference mortgage: 940 € of money available for any need.
Who is not interested in reducing it cost?
For anyone who does not know how to have money in the bank without having the imperative need to spend.
I hope you have helpful and have cleared any doubts.
Greetings,
Ricardo

1) Although redemption of capital to reduce the share holding period to 19 years the monthly fee is 137 € and debts of just over € 17,000, so to amortize the end of the year, the debt is settled.
2) The estimated savings to put into each case, it is saving in interest (ie money not pay the bank). 6000 € per year remaining loan principal, so we pay less interest.
3) The "excel" with which I control my loan, and with which I have done these calculations is a link that someone put a time of:

The system is "French system"
