Definition: A tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions .
Confirmation bias is a huge enemy to the investor, its strangles clear headed analysis and negates the point of any research you make.
Ask yourself whenever examining an investment, " what empirical evidence is there available that constructively disputes my theory".
Objectivity is key to any investment decision big or small.
