The stoics believed that reason and sociability were essentially the two things that made us human. And i think in to day's world, we say it should all be reason and no emotion. But what we talk about on the mind set an motley fool alive all the time, is that if you deny emotion, you're actually going to be controlled by emotion.
Do you really own your stocks? The stoics might suggest otherwise. Ricky Mulvey and Brian Stoffel serve up an introduction to stoicism, and why these philosophers from a few thousand years ago have practical advice for investors today. They discuss: - Fundamentals of stoicism - The dichotomy of control (and what it means for investors) - Seneca’s complex relationship with wealth - Company leaders that may exhibit some stoic virtues
