One economist, Hendrik Bessembinder, analyzed the returns of nearly a century of stock performance. <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> Let’s compare</span> <a href= "https://www.fa-mag.com/news/owning-individual-stocks--a-loser-s-game-reduced-wealth-79236.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">what he found</span></a> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> to</span> <a href= "https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2025-02-13/march-madness-history-comprehensive-guide-mens-tournament" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">March Madness history</span></a> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> and uncover what March Madness can teach us about investing! </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="mso-hyphenate: none;"><strong>Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">What Hendrik Bessembinder found from his study of 29,078 stocks</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">The perfect March Madness bracket has never happened</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">The odds of sustainable success are slim</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Very few teams repeatedly win</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">The most familiar choice doesn’t often lead to victory</li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Learn more:</strong> <a href= "https://caffeinecashflow.com/">https://caffeinecashflow.com/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong>Get in touch with Michael-</strong></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Web: https://www.westpacwealth.com/team/michael-schulte</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Email: [email protected]</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Phone: 702-767-4897</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="mso-hyphenate: none;">Today we’re going to piggyback of our conversation in the last episode by focusing in on recency bias and show you how the concept plays itself out among investors.
