In this episode of Stocks in Translation, Speaker, Author, and Former CFO Michaella Gallina joins Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre and Producer Sydnee Fried to discuss investor psychology and how cognitive biases can impact an investor’s trading account.Blikre explains that investor psychology refers to the emotions, biases, and decision making patterns that influence how people invest. Things like impact buying and selling and risk can be affected by things like fear and greed, overconfidence, and loss aversion. Gallina goes into detail where she’s seen these biases come into play first hand.“I have seen these biases come from basic retail investors, and the data shows us that all the way to working for a self-made billionaire at one of the largest growth shops, we all face these same issues,” Gallina explains. “The three that I really pay attention to are loss aversion, recency bias, and confirmation bias. I think loss aversion is fascinating because it’s essentially the concept that we feel losses as an investor at 2x the rate of the emotion than we feel joy when it comes to gains. There’s fascinating neuroscience about this. The neuroscience actually tells you that when you feel a loss as an investor, the same part of your brain that lights up when you feel physical pain. So that just goes to show you we're already against human nature in such great form to not make trading decisions based on emotions or at least to try not to.”Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Stocks in Translation at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/stocks-in-translation/Thoughts?

The growth to value shift has been all the buzz in 2025.In this episode of Stocks in Translation, Lee Munson, Portfolio Wealth Advisors, Chief Investment Officer, joins Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre and Producer Sydnee Fried to discuss the shift and what he expects to be the next big shift in AI.Our word of the day is multiple—a key metric for valuing companies.“A multiple is a number you use to derive a company's value,” Blikre explains. “You take a company's earnings, revenue, or another metric and multiply it by that magic number to get the value. And that magic number is the multiple.”For those new to financial markets, Munson breaks down what to watch for in earnings reports.“Bottom line, the story has to get better,” he says. “When you have a higher multiple company and you have earnings growth or revenue… just a tiny, little softness [and] you're [going to] see an immediate 10, 20 plus percent drop in the price… what that tells you is that the multiple was too high versus not having the story get better.”Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Stocks in Translation at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/stocks-in-translation/Thoughts?

It is what makes you a good versus bad trader. It isn't just what you know, it's how you execute on it. And it's that process that makes for great investors,” he explains.Yahoo Finance's Stocks in Translation, with master statistician Jared Blikre and voice of the people Sydnee Fried, is your guide with essential conversation cutting through the market mayhem, noisy numbers and hyperbole to give you the information you need to make the right trade for your portfolio. Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Stocks in Translation at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/stocks-in-translation/Thoughts?

The question is, what's on the other side of this positive sentiment?"Fittingly, today's phrase is policy uncertainty—a term many pundits associate with President Trump’s administration. Blikre defines it as “the unpredictability of government actions like taxes, regulations, or trade rules that can impact business decisions, economic growth, and investor confidence in markets.”However, Silver warns that overanalyzing can be costly. “If you get too muddled up in what's going to happen, you're going to miss the action. And the action has been very intense across investors' favorite parts of the market,” he says.Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Stocks in Translation at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/stocks-in-translation/Thoughts?

There’s never been a trade that didn’t involve risk.In this episode of Stock in Translations, Kenny Glick, owner of HitTheBid.com, joins Yahoo Finance markets and data editor Jared Blikre and Producer Sydnee Fried to discuss risk, volatility, and reward.Glick, who makes his living trading options, is no stranger to the risks of day trading. He thrives on volatility, even though it’s inherently risky.One of his tools for navigating this risk is UVXY (UVXY), a derivative of the VIX (^VIX)—the 30-day outlook on S&P 500 volatility.“UVXY is a product that's basically built to go down, and it tries to reflect the fear of the day,” says Glick. “So as a day trader, especially for the shorters… if UVXY shows any kinds of strength, you know that the sellers are out there. And my God, if it's actually trending higher, UVXY, you know, the market's in trouble.”Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Stocks in Translation at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/stocks-in-translation/Thoughts?
