In this episode I had the pleasure of welcoming Prashant Mohan, Chief Marketing Officer of Sharesight, to discuss the importance of tracking your investments and optimizing your portfolio. Prashant's journey began as a software developer, eventually leading him to roles at Google and Westpac before diving into the fintech space. His experience at Google, a company known for its data-driven approach, taught him the importance of prioritizing and analyzing data for business decision-making. One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the concept of emotional investing. Prashant shared his personal experiences, highlighting the challenges investors face when trying to time the market or reacting to news. This often leads to buying at the peak, a common mistake among retail investors.
