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

So, you know, there's no way you can look at Tesla and explain away the...

the premium that that stock brings, the multiple that that stock demands compared to the rest of the world automotive business.

So, you know, if you want to buy it because you love Elon, then okay, go ahead.

But I think you're setting yourself up for a dynamic that will not work out in the long run.

Yeah, I mean, it seems as though because of these biases and because, you know, I think the example of, okay, Google's in the news a lot, I'm thinking about Google more, and now I'm inherently biased towards Google just because of this kind of arbitrary fact, which is I've been reading about it a lot.

I keep on seeing the name.

Yeah.

And it makes me think that we can't quite trust our instincts, or maybe instincts is the wrong word, but we can't quite trust our brains all the time.

We can't trust our view at any given moment.

And that leaves us with the question of, okay, then what should we trust?

And I guess I would put that forward to you as a highly experienced investor and also as a trader, someone who has been in the pit, who's been in this game for a long time.

What do you trust then?

If you can't quite trust yourself, or maybe there's a way to trust yourself, who are you supposed to trust if you can't rely on your own brain?

I think one thing to do is to develop a process, tweak the process, and then when the process works, tweak it a little bit more, improve it, but start to rely on the process.

And you hear professional athletes talking about this all the time.

And so if your process is, oh, boy, Google just became a $4 trillion company.

Let me buy 100 shares.

Well, that process probably needs more than a little tweaking.

Yes.

But, you know, Warren Buffett probably put it most succinctly when he says that in the short term, the stock market's a voting machine.
