On this episode, Vince’s guest is finance professor and former institutional investor Michael Ijeh. Michael and Vince discuss the potential impact of sensational, emotion-driven advice from the media on our investing decisions, and the advantages of leveraging our own beliefs, biases, and style as investors. They also discuss how skills and decision making processes we develop from interests ranging from playing fantasy football and Madden, to poker and engineering, can transfer to investing, and how having our own philosophy as investors helps us stay consistent through inevitable underperformance.
