Prof G Markets · Your Brain is the Worst Investor in the Room — ft. Scott Nations · 16 Jan 2026 podcast

Lately, people have been voting for Google.

They've been voting for Tesla.

But in the long term, it's a weighing machine.

That is, it's objective.

If you were to ask somebody to name, say, the 20 companies in the S&P 500, there'd be tremendous overlap between the stocks that everybody names.

And they're either the biggest stocks or the ones that have been in the news.

But, you know, that leaves about 480 stocks that may be great investments that just don't get any attention, that people just ignore.

And if you're going to limit your investment universe to a tiny fraction of things that are available, then doesn't it seem like you're going to underperform versus somebody who's looking at the entire universe of stocks?

We'll be right back after the break.

And if you're enjoying the show so far, send it to a friend and please follow us if you haven't already.

We're back with Profity Markets.

Just thinking about herd mentality for a moment, which you brought up as one of these biases, how do you counteract that bias?

I struggle with this one because at the same time, you want to be informed by people.

You want to have a broad understanding and a broad base of knowledge.

You want to understand what's happening.

So you want to be listening to other people,

But at the same time, you don't want to be following other people just because that's what other people said.

You don't want to just be the sheep in the herd.

So as an investor and as a trader, how have you experienced that bias throughout your career?

And are there any processes you employ to prevent falling susceptible to that?
