The Danger of Following the Crowd

Blindly following popular trends can lead to poor financial decisions. The speaker highlights the mental reflex to conform, likening it to people waiting inappropriately for an individual in a multi-stall bathroom. This herd mentality is particularly hazardous in finance, where many common errors persist due to cyclical financial knowledge. Unlike cumulative fields such as medicine, finance often repeats behavioral mistakes, rooted in timeless emotions like fear and greed.
