Markets opened the year on a strong note, but headline risk and global uncertainty are rising. On this episode of The Lebenthal Report, we discuss how investors can stay focused on fundamentals while navigating unpredictable news cycles.
We’re joined by Dr. Bobby Hoffman, author of The Paradox of Passion: How Rewards Covertly Control Motivation, to explore the psychology behind motivation, passion, and decision-making—and how those same forces influence investor behavior.
Topics include:
• Why markets can accept bad news—but not the unknown
• Headline risk vs. economic fundamentals
• The truth about “fear and greed” in investing
• Why passion isn’t always sustainable
• Self-control, long-term planning, and better financial decisions
