Ep. 13: Dr Richard Thaler and David Potter
Manage episode 323936264 series 3332544
For the latest episode of Mistakes Were Made, we are joined by the Nobel Prize-winning economist Dr Richard Thaler and portfolio manager David Potter.
Thaler is pioneer in the field of behavioral economics and co-author of the best-selling Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness.
Potter is a portfolio manager at Fuller & Thaler Asset Management, a San Francisco-based boutique that uses academic research on investor behavior to inform when to buy and sell stocks.
As well as their biggest investment errors, they discuss the drivers behind meme stocks (‘surprisingly dumb’), how to improve retirement saving rates (a nudge can help), and how to help Alex potty train his son (Cheerios are key).
