Join Us for Why Smart Investors Make Expensive Mistakes

Presented by Brent Schafer, CFP®

Date: March 18
Time: 12:00 PM
Location: Spokane Valley Chamber Building Conference Room

Even intelligent, disciplined investors make costly mistakes.

Not because they lack information. Because they’re human.

Market swings, headlines, and emotion can quietly influence financial decisions in ways that derail long-term plans. Understanding these psychological patterns is one of the most overlooked aspects of successful investing.

In this session, Brent will break down:

• The most common behavioral biases that affect investors
• Why recent performance distorts long-term thinking
• How loss aversion leads to poorly timed decisions
• The subtle dangers of overconfidence
• Practical guardrails that reduce emotional decision-making

This is not a market forecast. It’s not a stock-picking seminar.

It’s a practical conversation about how to think clearly when money and emotion intersect.

Lunch will be provided.

Whether you actively invest or simply want sharper perspective on how markets influence behavior, this session will offer clarity, structure, and actionable insight.

We hope you’ll join us.
