17: The Magellan Fund Myth?
None of us are immune to making emotional decisions.
Today on Talking Trends, Mike Melissinos discusses how we can all learn from what our emotions are communicating to us. And how we can use this to develop wisdom and improve our investing performance.
Listen in to learn about famed investor Peter Lynch's Magellan Fund returns and the mythical Fidelity study that showed how the average investor actually lost money despite the fund's annualized returns of 29%.

Key Takeaways:
Our response to our emotions, not the emotions themselves, is what hurts our returns.
A strong performing investment can invite poor behavior that hurt returns (e.g. ARKK)

Mike's early experiences with managing investor emotions through strong and poor performance periods
Questions to ask yourself as you feel your emotions flaring up.
