This, to me, simply suggests that on an empty stomach they are merely more risk adverse. <br /><br />I'm not therefore convinced that you can read across that better investment decisions are made by drinking cherry coke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366878066073177705.post-81612334382602224522014-01-31T01:47:19.739+00:002014-01-31T01:47:19.739+00:00Love your blog!

Whenever I show this to my clients (I Coach Traders), there always seems to be a slight 'Aha!' moment for them as the realisation of the consequences of this hits home. <br /><br />I myself had a significant Aha moment with this. Many years ago in my younger trading career I was active intraday, traidng rate futures. In the moring I would trade Deutschemark futures and in the afternoon USD futures. In the morning I tended to make money, in the afternoon my trading tended to suck. - I just thought I was a shockingly bad USD trader. However , later when I became more longer-term and I traded a lot less, this pattern dissappeared. I.e. I became a better USD trader relative to DEM or EUROS as they had become. Having read this research I actually think this was more than likely what was happening. <br /><br />This research is not just about decisions, its about will-power. self-control and the ability to be objective. As the day continues, and as each period post- Food/sugar intake continues, our ability to be objective declines, and our susceptibility to poor decisions/sub-optimal default behaviours and behaviour biases increases.
