Ghost Stories #80: Taming the herd - how to navigate bubbles, biases and big market moves


Listen Later

Kingsley Williams is the Chief Investment Officer at Satrix, which means he has built his career around being a student of the markets. He started working right before the dot com bubble, so Kingsley has seen exactly what happens when you have herd mentality in the markets.

Bubbles. Biases. Big market moves and the way they make people behave - it's all here in this great conversation around how to stay sane in a market that is driven by emotion, and one of the most dangerous human traits of all: greed.

Speaking of greed, Kingsley also addressed the frequently misquoted Warren Buffett comment about greed vs. fear.

The markets continue to dish up opportunities and risks. The more we look at history and try to learn from it, the better our chances of future success.
