A Professor that doesn,t talk on some esoteric academia la la land.. just on a Normal human level ?!!! What a GEM !! Are you two taking notes.. ?
Agree. Made me think the book The Psychology of Money. Part of the reason I loved it, and I suspect why it has been so popular, is the author levels with you... His breakdown as to what's rational and what's REASONABLE for normal, emotional humans, is awesome.
I wonder if you'd have Prof. Damodaran on here as well. Or if you have, I'll go check out that episode. But he's one of the people I follow most closely because of how thorough his breakdowns are, and his lectures are publicly available.
This was a fantastic episode. Love Prof Statman's straightforward and relatable approach.
Thank you for an excellent interview. The success answer was so well articulated
This was great! Definitely in the top 10 episodes of all times. Thank you 👍 It would be great to see Richard Thaler as a guest on RR one day 🙂
We are trying :)
Wonderful interview, thank you very much.
A couple things I thought about while watching this. First is that I have enjoyed watching the two of you not only in your journey as podcast creators, but as advisors. It has reminded me of my time at my work over the years watching people explore and evolve. Second is the thought Meir had on evoking honesty. It is a lesson that I am sorry to say I must keep re-learning, but I am thankful each time: the best invitation to truth is truth. Substitute any word for “truth”that makes it work for you. Thanks for the episode and the last few years.
Great episode!
thanks I enjoyed and learned
Where's the financial decisions for weirdos video?
Everyone here is a weirdo, this interview is how we learn how normal people make financial decisions;)
Thank you!
Now you are assuming that people have some printed out certificate to go to the stock market to claim? Do you think that there is a mechanism to at least make claims on the stock
Or whether it has been built somewhere already? Did Walt Disney ask whether if the park or the automatum shall be made real?
Who are you comparing with and what you see now that I don't see?
Yet, at what amount of capital does someone consider themselves to no longer be poor?
What are the S&P500 measuring if they don't hold any assets that we can value it on besides some numbers in the chart?
Did walt Disney ask where the Disneyland needs to be at?
He was a nazi
You sure? Are you sure that they are actually measuring something valuable? Does anyone own stocks over there with certificates for redemption?
Money is a means to an end. If it's friendship, nobody seems to ask for my name?
