Topics include: (1) investor psychological biases and irrational trading behavior; (2) limits of arbitrage and the risk of leveraged convergence trading; (3) predictability of stock market returns; (4) behavioral finance trading strategies (including value, momentum, size, earnings quality, corporate governance, and others); (5) stock market and real estate bubbles; and (6) credit booms and financial crises.
