Welcome to the 7th season of Talking with Traders with Garth Mackenzie

We made it to the end of season 1! In this episode, we recap our discussions on the behavioural biases we’ve discussed so far. We also bring back all of our experts – they had to have the final word, of course! https://nudgingfinancialbehaviour.podbean.com/e/behavioural-biases-unpacked/ You’re in for a treat as they give personal stories of their own financial mistakes and how they fell prey to behavioural biases. It’s really good to know that we’re not alone! Special thank you to everyone...

The anchoring bias is a fascinating one, and part of the human psyche that is sometimes quite hard to understand. We get ourselves anchored to pieces of information that may or may not have any bearing on the facts and the decision we need to make. https://nudgingfinancialbehaviour.podbean.com/e/anchoring-bias-episode-9-season-1/ To help unpack anchoring bias and how we can try to be aware of it in our lives, we talk to Louise Bedford. Louise is a best-selling author from Australia, a...

Welcome to our discussion on the framing effect. This bias is all about giving context to information – something that we require in order to understand the information we’re receiving. The problem with framing is that it can be done maliciously to make a decision that’s not in your favour. If you change the context or the frame surrounding a piece of information, you could easily make a different decision. Our guest for episode 8 is Louis van der Merwe – a certified financial planner and...

Confirmation bias plays a massive part in the way we all think and make decisions. In this episode, we’re delving into what this bias actually is and how to recognise it in ourselves. It’s so important to be able to spot confirmation bias at play because we can miss a lot when we aren’t aware of it. https://nudgingfinancialbehaviour.podbean.com/e/confirmation-bias-episode-7-season-1/ To help us get a better understanding of how we all fall prey to confirmation bias, we chat to Rachel...

Overconfidence – that feeling that you can do no wrong and your decisions will always work out for you. This is what we’re unpacking in this episode of the Nudging Financial Behaviour podcast. Overconfidence bias is a tricky one because there can be a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. The problem is, one is good for you and the other can be very harmful. https://nudgingfinancialbehaviour.podbean.com/e/overconfidence-bias-episode-6-season-1/ Our guest in this episode is...

At last! We’re beginning our discussion on the actual biases that impact our behaviour and decision-making abilities. In this episode, we delve into what biases actually are and explore some psychology around how our brains process information. We thought it would be a good idea to start this discussion around biases with explaining Daniel Kahneman’s concept of System 1 and System 2 thinking. To help with unpacking this, we brought in Dr Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and New York Times...

We take a look at three more financial pitfalls in this episode. They are overconsumption or lifestyle creep, debt and insufficient savings. These three often go hand in hand – you get into debt because you’re trying to cover your lifestyle creep, and then you’re too busy focusing on paying off that debt rather than looking at your savings. https://nudgingfinancialbehaviour.podbean.com/e/managing-debt-episode-3-season-1/ Debt spirals can be very scary, and it can be incredibly hard to see...
