The Power of Position Sizing Strategies

by Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.

Despite the importance of all the material I have presented about position sizing strategies, most people have psychological biases that will cause them to 1) ignore the material totally or 2) do exactly the opposite of what is recommended.
