Monkeys and Trading

[RicG]

The attached video link shows a revealing 20 minute TED talk by Yale Psychology Professor, Laurie Santos, who conducted experiments which introduced monkeys to the concept of money and trading. Her research indicates that monkeys are prone to the same irrational tendencies and mistakes as human traders when it comes to loss aversion - apparently
due to a psychological bias that's 35 million years old.

Learn the lessons exposed in this video and you should be able to get an idea how to take the most grapes (profitable trades) from the monkeys (other traders).
