Episode 3374: Chris Reining explains how human nature pushes investors to follow the herd, leading to poor decisions like selling low and buying high. Drawing on insights from Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham, he shows that real success comes from acting against the crowd and staying rational during market chaos. Understanding this mindset shift can help you turn volatility into opportunity. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://chrisreining.com/herd/ Quotes to ponder: "It’s mostly nonsense, because don’t you think if analysts, economists, or strategists knew where the market was headed they’d be investing for themselves instead of working for a salary?" “Make the market your servant, not your master.” "But if you want to make the most money investing you need to do what most people can’t do: buy when everyone else panics and sells."
