In episode 3 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast, we’re looking at uncertainty and how it differs from risk. This discussion is all about known and unknown probabilities. We also unpack two biases – The Gambler’s Fallacy and The Hot-Hand Effect.
We thought that the best way to really get to grips with these biases was to chat to someone who knows a lot about trading. Our guest is Garth Mackenzie, a prolific trader with plenty of exciting stories to tell about his years working on the markets.
