As humans, we tend to fall victim to different biases when making financial decisions. Let's take a look at behavioral finance and explore how we can circumvent these common pitfalls.

Finally a great Canadian investment channel. Congrats on your CFA.

I’m new to investing and what’s interesting to me is learning from different perspectives. Even watching these videos on YouTube, we should all consider the fact that The Plain Bagel is only one source of knowledge. And that we need to be reading from many different sources and understand the different schools of thoughts out there.

If someone is interested in this subject, I'd suggest the book "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. Great video.

I'm a Psych nerd, so I appreciate the nod to mentality playing an important role in investing. Having this background will hopefully help me identify and mitigate the effects of my biases. One of my favorites videos on this channel so far. :)

Man, you're dropping straight knowledge and it's awesome that it's so readily available. I'm gathering much from your videos, ty🤗

That's a hell lot of knowledge in one video, have been studying behavioral finance since 3 months and this video sums it up.

Great video. I'm currently studying econ&fin, and this has turned into a great platform time and time again reminding me of why I decided to study it in the first place. Keep it up Plain Bagel :)

[fzigunov]

Speaking about momentum, your channel is picking up some! =)
Keep up the good work!!

[eduardolopes]

As always, very informative and concise. Always learn something new watching your videos. Keep up the good work, buddy!

[chaosmaniac]

Accurate, articulate and easy to follow! One suggestion I have is to dail it back with the hand movements. It's better to come off more natural than fidgety.

[TheNevaBeta]

Watching your videos for review for my actuary exam, Investments and Financial Markets. You’re the best channel I have found!

[prashunpcchakraborty]

I agree we all have biases so my technique to remove it is to just buy the index whenever it corrects 5% and put in more every 5%, removes bias.

[nachannachle]

You are an awesome presenter. Great research and delivery.
Hats off to your team! :)

I remember in the '80s, seeing people sitting in the street outside the Sydney Stock Exchange, watching the stock prices on a big screen 🙀 as if they had to be ready to buy or sell at a moment's notice.

[Kingjamar]

I love your channel so much man👌. I Always learn something new from you

[Coachnickhawley]

Thank you for your very thoughtful and well made videos.

[priyankajain]

Very nice info. Can i ask what is your background?

[pinur_paglami]

currently in the indian market, there is a sudden boom of railway related stocks. as a new comer, people like to see green arrows rather than a red one where most of the population is young and they are investing, rather trading their pocket money or allowances looking for a short term profit. as such, momentum investing seems to be beneficial.

if i go against them and think from a financial standpoint, i might lose a chance for some quick bucks
