Interview with Jeff Fleishman

Here’s part of a recent interview I did with Jeff Fleishman:

You seem to be a very rational, logical person. It’s difficult to find that with people that discuss the stock market. Like, sometimes I turn on CNBC and I just want to go crawl in a hole. Does the coverage of the stock market frustrate you?

I don’t get too bothered by it. One of the things about investing is that you have to fight yourself, and keep your emotions away. Mr. Spock would have been a great investor. You just have to approach the market logically and rationally, because so many people don’t. I know this from being a broker, but when people are down and disappointed, they get angry and they sell and they act in all sorts of weird ways. So I try to be as business-like and dispassionate as possible.
