I think saying that people are "willing to pay to not know" is a little misleading. I read through most of the report, and maybe I missed the bit where they are offered the chance to not know for a fee, but it seems the conclusion drawn was "if given the option, people would rather not know, and if they are forced to know are less likely to invest than if given the option or if forced to not know". Given investing was on average good for the investor this a form of paying - but not in the sense the investor would feel like they are paying.

Whether or not I've misinterpreted this though, a very interesting result.

Robin, these links to thought provoking articles -whether I agree the with conclusions it or not- I and many others come to this blog for.

If you stop blogging, to do something more ambitious, please check in from time to time to engage, enrage, and annoy the lower lifes.
