In this episode of the Market Misbehavior podcast, Dave is joined by Dave Lundgren, founder and Chief Market Strategist at MOTR Capital Management & Research. Recorded in mid-June 2026.

Dave Lundgren shares his systematic approach to combining momentum and trend following to build necessary guardrails against our worst investing impulses. We dig into why trying to completely eliminate your behavioral biases is a guaranteed way to fail, how the Jurassic Park franchise perfectly explains the storytelling psychology of market bubbles, and why investors must learn to operate in a dual environment—riding the robust bull market in leadership while avoiding the stealth bear market in everything else. The conversation also explores the fractal nature of trends and why the ultimate secret to navigating a bubble is to act as the "Sentinel," staring strictly at the market structure "fence" rather than the monsters of overvaluation.
