Behavior Gap Radio

1352 | An Astonishing Behavior Gap


Listen Later

In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl revisits one of the most striking examples of the behavior gap: Peter Lynch’s legendary Magellan Fund. While the fund returned an extraordinary 29 percent, the average investor captured only a fraction of it—and some studies say many even lost money. Why? Because humans buy high, sell low, and chase what’s hot. Carl breaks down how this pattern shows up again and again, why even great investment processes fail if behavior doesn’t support them, and why the real challenge isn’t finding the best fund… it’s staying in it.
