McGill Personal Financial Essentials course helps people understand common investing mistakes

Human instinct is not well-suited to making wise investments, says Prof. Benjamin Croitoru in an interview with Global News. Fear of missing out is just one example of this. Following the crowd can lead to bad investments, and the crash of cryptocurrency values in 2022 is only the latest example of this. McGill’s Personal Finance Essentials helps people understand investing – and the common mistakes that people make managing their money. This non-credit, online course is offered by McGill in collaboration with The Globe and Mail and RBC Future Launch. Anyone can register, and the course is free.
