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

Well, that was in the news.

So now if you're looking to buy something, Google will be top of mind for you.

Whether or not it's

had a really great run and you think, oh, it's top of mind, so I'm going to buy it.

And so that is certainly the case.

But there are other biases that kind of intersect here.

One would be hurting.

Investors love to buy what everybody else is buying.

In the pit, you learn that that's absolutely the wrong way to go.

But investors love to buy what other people are buying.

So if they're piling into meme stocks like

AMC or GameStop or Google or something else that's done really well, then they love to get into it.

They love to follow the herd.

There's a social aspect to it, particularly with meme stocks.

And so those are all biases that will ultimately generate inferior returns.

One of the biases that you talk about, which I find really interesting, is this idea of fantastic objects.

It's fantastic spelled P-H.

And basically, this is this idea that people will buy stocks not necessarily because it's a good stock or because they've looked at the financials or whatever it is, but because they want to feel connected to the people involved.

who are behind that stock.

So the example would be like in the 90s, you're buying Apple because you love Steve Jobs and you want to feel some sense of connection to Steve Jobs.
