About Money Examined
Money Examined is an independent financial media and digital publishing brand. We publish researched stories and educational books about money, financial history, human behavior, decision-making, and the mechanisms behind financial success and failure.
Our mission
To help people understand what happened before, recognize the mechanisms that may happen again, and make better-informed decisions.
How we work
We research every story and cite our sources, so you can check our work. Where the historical record is uncertain, we say so. Famous stories attract exaggeration; we leave the myths out.
We are not financial advisors, and we do not tell anyone what to buy or sell.
The seven patterns we keep finding
- The crowd
- Borrowed money and financial leverage
- Concentration
- Unexplained returns
- Hidden or unaccepted losses
- Rare but devastating risks
- Misplaced certainty
