Gary's Gulch

Are Honesty & Optimism Investing Weaknesses?


Listen Later

I had a very successful and experienced colleague tell me "Honest people are almost as much at risk of being taken in an investment or business scam as naive people. They optimistically assume others are like them; pessimists, critics do the same and it protects them." Is this true? Listen in for my take on this fascinating and very important comment.
