Ep. 151 - October Spooks
Listen now
Description
Episode 151 brings us the October spookies with Halloween upon us. We discuss the presidential election and the fear surrounding the outcome. How will the market react? How should you react?  We remind listeners of the cognitive bias called "Loss Aversion," which says we perceive losses as more psychologically damaging than gains of the same size. By a factor of 2 to 1, in fact. Remember this when you see all the political ads trying to keep you glued by informing you of all the horrible things the "other" candidate will do.  Our investment thesis for Rivian "$RIVN" is also discussed. Listen, research, and then decide if it could be an investment you'd be interested in.
