In the meantime, yours truly will be taking the advanced Tesla analysis training sub-module:
It apparently doubles as the Brexit analysis sub-module as well.

Via the Social Science Research Network:

The Financial Economics Network (FEN) is pleased to announce free subscriptions to Behavioral & Experimental Finance Subject Matter eJournal and Behavioral & Experimental Finance (Editor's Choice) eJournal.

BEHAVIORAL & EXPERIMENTAL FINANCE eJOURNAL
Editor: Victor_Ricciardi@ssrn.com, Assistant Professor of Financial Management, Goucher College - Department of Business Management

Description: This eJournal distributes working and accepted paper abstracts covering all aspects of behavioral and experimental finance. Its mission is to foster a better understanding of those elements of human psychology, both cognitive (mental) and affective (emotional) that influence the decision making process. The eJournal provides promising new research to the academic and the Wall Street communities that incorporates the methods used in the behavioral disciplines and decision sciences with the ones from Standard Finance, so that decision makers and their judgments can be studied from individual, group, organizational, and market perspectives.
Scholarly research in Behavioral and Experimental Finance strives for greater explanation and insight into finance and investments based on research from the social sciences. For instance, the origins of behavioral finance have a strong theoretical foundation in the fields of experimental and cognitive psychology, sociology, and behavioral economics. The eJournal hopes to foster better decision-making and bridge the gap with other disciplines by investigating how various cognitive processes and emotional factors may hinder or contribute to optimal decision making in finance and related fields with an interdisciplinary perspective including: financial psychology, behavioral accounting, economic psychology, psychological economics, behavioral economics, behavioral law, organizational behavior, and behavioral marketing.
This eJournal presents research on the behaviors and choices of experts, professionals, and novices in various investment and corporate financial settings. The scope of the eJournal includes research that utilizes research methods and new findings from psychological studies to describe the behavior of investors and financial markets. This eJournal includes experimental tests of all standard financial theory as well as conceptual and experimental papers that deal with departures from standard financial theories that assume rational, optimizing individuals. We also welcome working papers and accepted paper abstracts based on strong financial behavioral research methodology, replication studies, case studies, empirical works, book reviews, literature reviews, and survey articles.
