[Podcast] 2 investing veterans share their tips to manage uncertain economic times, with Louise Bedford

We live in uncertain times, creating a lot of anxiety for investors.

So, in today’s podcast, which is one I recorded together with my good friend and share trading expert Louise Bedford, we talk about how to manage uncertainty.

It’s a little longer than normal – almost 50 minutes - but during our chat, Louise and I share many years of experience.

I hope at the end, we will have given you more clarity and certainty about what to do in the current environment.

You see…both Louise and I are students of psychology and how it affects investing.

In fact, Louise has a degree in psychology.

We both realize how our current financial environment is causing anxiety for many people.

Your brain’s hefty responsibility to keep you safe means it hates life’s inevitable uncertainty.

Currently, your brain is constantly updating your world and making judgments about what is safe and what isn’t.

To the human mind, uncertainty equals danger.

If your brain doesn’t know what’s around the corner, it can’t keep you out of harm’s way, can it?

So, it assumes the worst, over-personalizes threats, and jumps to conclusions.

I guess we’re hardwired to overestimate threats and underestimate our ability to handle them, so as I said, the intention of my chat with Louise today is to give you some clarity on managing uncertain economic times.

Highlights of my chat with Louise:

• What to do when all hell has broken loose in the economy?
