About The Behavioral Divide with Hal Hershfield
Financial decisions are endlessly complicated. There’s a huge body of academic literature that tries to study them to look for answers on how to improve decision making while a broad industry of financial advisors also work with investors every day on decisions that affect their financial futures. But there exists a divide between the two. On The Behavioral Divide, presented by Avantis Investors®, host and UCLA Professor Hal Hershfield examines this divide to find insights that may help advisors and investors make better financial decisions.

Published 30 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So there was a famous study looking at companies that added dot-com to their name during the internet battle. And even if they didn't have an internet connection, the stock price went up by about 74% of that rate. And then if they later dropped .com from their name, when there was a .com crash, there was another 40% price. So this was not a strategic shift. This was just a rebranding, purely superficial.
