Jim O'Haughnessy and jimmy catherwood are back for another episode of infinite loops. This time, they're talking to a columnist at the wall street journal about how narrow economics can help make you rich. Jim: Is it just that people can't learn? I think in some respects, people are too good at learning. It's easy to learn the wrong lesson. The human brain is a fantastic pattern recognition device, but it may be too good at recognizing patterns,. That can give us difficulty seeing the big picture.
In this episode of Infinite Loops we spoke with Jason Zweig of The Wall Street Journal, where he writes his famous The Intelligent Investor column. Jason is also the author of Your Money and Your Brain, and the editor of the revised edition of Benjamin Graham''s The Intelligent Investor. In this discussion we cover:
- The power of writing to learn.
- Why humans never learn from their mistakes.
- Jason’s path into markets out of college.
- The lessons we can learn from the past.
- And much more
