To Be a Good Investor ft. Dr. Daniel Crosby - PB160

Apr 14, 2020

Today Dr. Daniel Crosby joins us on the podcast. Dr. Daniel Crosby is a psychologist and behavioral finance expert who helps organizations understand the intersection of mind and markets. Dr. Crosby recently co-authored a New York Times Best-Selling book titled, Personal Benchmark: Integrating Behavioral Finance and Investment Management.

Daniel’s journey into behavioral finance began when he decided that he no longer had a passion for being a shrink and working in clinical psychology. He always had a love for business and once he learned just how much psychology was baked into the world of investing and personal finance he went all-in on behavioral finance.

In this episode you’ll learn about historical stock market patterns, the difference between a correction and a recession, asset allocation, why you shouldn’t invest based off the media and why you should question your own psychology behind your finances and investments.

 

Highlights:

  • Human tendency – What is right now, will be forever
  • Why the media loves turmoil in the worlds financial markets
  • Knowing enough to act in the appropriate manner with your money but not buying into the media hype
  • Controlling the uncontrollable
  • Bull Markets vs. Bear Markets
  • The economy and the stock market are related but they’re NOT the same thing
  • Headlines are a horrible way to invest
  • It’s almost impossible to time the peak and the bottom of the stock market
  • A 10% decline is a correction, a 20% decline is a recession
  • The pro’s and con’s of using Robo Advisors for your finances
  • Asset Allocation – The mix of your investments. The percentage of your money that’s spread around into different investments

 

 

 

Key Takeaway: Making smart investments periodically, rather then trying to time the market, will yield exponentially better returns.
