Why do investors keep falling for the same traps? In this episode, we dig into recency bias—our tendency to overvalue what's happening now and ignore what’s happened before. From the "dot-com boom" to meme stocks and crypto, history shows us that bubbles and crashes are nothing new. Yet every time, investors convince themselves “this time is different.”
We’ll look at how recency bias impacts your judgment, the patterns of market cycles from boom to bust, and why forgetting history is one of the costliest mistakes an investor can make.
This episode is a reminder that smart investing isn’t about predicting the future—it’s about remembering the past.
