How do we overcome our conventional tendencies when framing our investment decisions? Elaborate! The Elaboration Effect refers to the inhibition of common framing effects when decision makers are asked to elaborate their decision making process.

Buffett has always told students to be able to "explain why you are buying a stock." |
