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

How should I think about stories when I'm investing?

Sure, it's easy for an investor to say, I don't, it doesn't matter

Why?

Yeah, maybe I am falling for this and I buy Tesla stock because for all the wrong reasons that Scott's just enumerated.

But it works.

I'm not the only one.

And if I'm not the only one, and the same could be true for GameStop during the meme phase, I can make a bunch of money.

And isn't that really what matters?

And that's absolutely true.

And

You know, I remember being in the pit, and there were times when you knew the pit was all one way, and it didn't really matter what the next print was 60 seconds later.

If you know which way the pit is leaning, then that's half the battle.

And so it's easy to say, well, you know, yeah, maybe it's crazy to buy Tesla stock because Elon is econoclastic.

But if it works, it works.

The problem is that it works until it doesn't.

And then when it doesn't, we still hold on too long.

because we have confidence in the company or the founder.

And we hold on, we hold on, we hold on.

And we go through a series of stages, a little bit like the Kubler-Ross stages of grief.

And it's only when we've gotten disgusted with ourselves that investors pull the plug, sell, and that's often at the bottom.
