Can You Predict The Financial Markets?

A chat about the importance of (not) making predictions in the financial markets.

Yesterday, I was invited onto Money FM 89.3, Singapore’s first business and personal finance radio station, for a short interview. My friend Willie Keng, the founder of investor education website Dividend Titan, was hosting a segment for the radio show and we talked about a few topics:

  • Can we predict the financial markets?
  • How we can guard against hindsight bias, a behavioural phenomenon where we think we had accurately predicted an event only after it has happened
  • The importance of having expectations but not predictions when investing
  • My biggest win and mistake for the year
