Mind Over Money

The psychology of investing has become such an important area of research that major hedge funds are building trading strategies around human behavioral patterns. In Mind Over Money, Kevin Cook explores the crossroads where markets and brains collide, delving into the two sciences – neuroscience and behavioral finance – that show why investors are often highly irrational when faced with economic decisions, uncertainty, and risk.

This episode is all about the risk and reward of decision-making. Sometimes we avoid making decisions, and often we never learn from our bad ones. I was fortunate that I became a high-frequency currency trader 20 years ago and learned how to make lots of decisions every hour that I could never regret, and only learn from. But that doesn’t mean I don't still fall prey to the bad habits we all have when faced with uncertainty and risk.Please pick a time stamped topic below:
