As president of Financial Insyghts, LLC, Peter Atwater "helps his clients better understand issues affecting the financial services industry (particularly credit, regulation and accounting) and their impact on the economy." His groundbreaking work has been featured on CNBC, MarketWatch, Minyanville, Financial Times, and NPR.
In this 15-minute interview, Peter offers his thoughts on Prechter's socionomic theory, introduces his "Horizon Preference" outlook, and talks about teaching socionomics at the University of Delaware.
Want to know even more about Atwater's views? You have a unique opportunity to hear from him at the upcoming
Socionomics Summit.
But that's not all: here’s a preview of how our lineup of scholars, business people, and financial professionals research and apply socionomics right now:
· Politicians and policy makers are opening their door to socionomic research, considering plans that anticipate the public mood, and shaping policy choices that are proactive instead of reactive;
· Academics and research professionals are regularly publishing research that advances the premises and understanding of socionomics, via broad data analysis that quantifies shifts in mood on social media platforms like Twitter;
· Hedge funds and other money managers apply text analytics to develop social mood indexes, and in turn incorporate their findings into trading strategies and models;
· Board-certified psych PhDs with financial market experience now offers training in emotion management, behavioral finance, and market sentiment.
The opinions expressed by conference commentators may not precisely reflect those of the Socionomics Institute. In the scientific spirit, we welcome input from contributors of all types, encourage discussion on all aspects of socionomic theory and remain perpetually open to revision.
