Nice! On correlation and causation, in @mkonnikova’s talk on probabilities and investing. #AllanGraySummit2019
#AllanGraySummit Another bias that is present in poker and investing is the gambler fallacy: Investors on a losing streak will hold on thinking they are due a win because they have “suffered through this for so long”
#AllanGraySummit Maria discusses another crucial takeout from poker: cost fallacy. Sometimes investors hold onto a bad asset for a long time, rather than letting go, purely because they have spent so much money on it already.
Poker allows you to sample probabilities properly, says @mkonnikova You learn that making decisions is about calculating probabilities.
#AllanGraySummit The illusion of control is a funny thing and it happens when you are doing well in an environment of uncertainty, says @mkonnikova on what we can learn about poker from investing
#AllanGraySummit In one study, based on initial success at being able to predict a coin flip, people began to think they were not only good at predicting a coin flip, but would also get better with practice.
And these were Harvard students who should know better that you cannot predict a coin flip. #AllanGraySummit
#AllanGraySummit This is because poker asks the question: In an uncertain environment, what can you control?
#AllanGraySummit This is useful for investors, because many often think they are good at probalistic thinking (evaluating potential outcomes to make the best possible decision), but we are not says @mkonnikova #Investing
#AllanGraySummit One of the things I learnt is that Hungarian-American mathematician John van Neumann was right: poker is not just a metaphor for life...
#AllanGraySummit I learnt that poker was a game of people, of uncertainty – much like life. It’s a game of incomplete information. #Investing #Poker
#AllanGraySummit I have never played poker in my life, but I was interested in the question of how much of life do we control – what is the result of our actions, and what is the result of our environment? #MariaKonnikova #Poker #Investing
