Episode notes
Outliers Tend To Revert
- Regression towards the mean explains that extreme outcomes typically move back toward the average over time.
- Exceptional performances are often outliers, not reliable indicators of future results.
Pokies Hot Streaks Fade
- The host uses pokies (slot machines) as an example to show how hot streaks are temporary.
- You may hit a big win once, but continued play typically returns you to the machine's long-term loss rate.

- When evaluating investments, use long time horizons to avoid being misled by short-term outliers.
- Prefer broad, boring index exposure to chasing bubble winners that may later regress to the mean.
