I’ve spent 50 years on Wall Street learning about investing, investors, and money. Some of those lessons were easy. Others cost me money. A few changed the way I invested for the rest of my life.

On these broadcasts, I’ll talk about investing, inflation, markets, money, and the mistakes investors make. No complicated formulas and no Wall Street hype — just the lessons I’ve picked up along the way.

    Most investors don’t lose money because they’re dumb — they lose money because they’re sure they’re smart. This episode exposes the psychology behind overconfidence, why it spikes after small wins, and how it leads people straight into avoidable losses. You’ll learn how to spot overconfidence early and replace it with a disciplined, Graham‑style humility that actually grows wealth.

    Fear has been quietly stealing investor returns since the first stock certificate was printed. In this episode, I break down how fear disguises itself as caution, prudence, and waiting for the right time—and how those labels trick smart people into making bad financial decisions. You’ll learn why fear feels rational in the moment, why it isn’t, and how to build a simple, repeatable system that keeps you moving forward even when your brain wants to run. This is the episode that helps investors stop sabotaging themselves and start trusting their plan instead.
