Ever wonder about the psychology driving the economy and stock market? Why do investors embrace weak companies? Why do inventors ignore some strong companies? What triggers the start of asset price bubbles, and what causes them to end badly? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with behavioral economist and co-author of the new book "The Winner’s Curse: Behavioral Economics Anomalies, Then & Now," Richard Thaler. Thaler has studied behavioral economics for over 40 years, winning the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work. The book explores economic puzzles found in markets, from the love of retail investors of meme stocks to the yawning popularity of cryptocurrency.
