Mood swings: why market sentiment matters in investing

Summary: Ask any market expert out there, and they’ll tell you that markets follow profits and economic prosperity over time. While that’s technically true, I’ve got a better explanation for the daily ups and downs: mood swings. If you learn to track the market’s mood, you can better understand its movements – and your own behavioral tendencies – over time.

Attend this talk and learn…
  • Intro to myself/how I think about markets
  • Why sentiment matters
  • How to gauge the market's mood
  • Why the mood matters in this moment
  • How to use sentiment analysis in your own investing journey
  • How to manage your won emotions as an investor

Ten Contrarian Thoughts

  • Exercise your critical thinking skills
  • Be more skeptical of mass media reporting
  • Better understand why a bullish long-term view sets you up for success
