Consuelo Mack has two very interesting interviews on WealthTrack this week, talking investing and psychology with both Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig and Black Swan author Nassim Taleb.
Zweig, author of Your Money and Your Brain, delves into the way human investors are impacted by a number of psychological phenomena that cause them to buy high and/or sell low, and gives tips for how you can overcome those roadblocks. Taleb, meanwhile, explains why he thinks investors take much greater risks in the market than they think they do, and how investors should allocate their assets.
The clip below includes portions of the Zweig and Taleb interviews; for the full interviews, click here and then click on the WealthTrack Video on Demand section on the right of the screen.
