*"In the investment business, you go to school every day, but never graduate." - Don Hodges*
# Episode 12: Rabbit Holes and Shiny Objects
by [Craig Hodges](https://blog.hodgescapital.com/podcasts/author/craig-hodges), on Mar 3, 2022 2:53:40 PM
Clark and Alan will discuss the effects of perceived negative news on our investing psyche. The hazards of Shiny Object Syndrome (chasing things that are in-fashion and widely discussed). How having a research process helps our clients and reduces behavioral investing mistakes. A couple tips for calming oneself. A little education on SPACs and how things can go from red hot to ice cold in a short period of time. Sometimes it’s about what you do *not* buy that ends up being the right decision.

Hodges, founder of Hodges Capital, shares special quotes he collected over his 40 years as an investment advisor and student of personal and business success.
