Lessons from Financial History and False Expectations in the Markets · Patrick Boyle

EP 253 | Lessons from Financial History and False Expectations in the Markets | Patrick Boyle

Patrick is a finance professor, author, quant hedge fund manager and a connoisseur of financial history. As a young investor in Utility stocks, Patrick’s hunger to learn and apply the lessons of financial history helped him to maintain composure during the frenzied bubble market in the late 90’s and avoid most of the losses his colleagues suffered during the dot.com blowup.

His studiousness, and growing aptitude for finding opportunities, resulted in him making valuable connections with mentors and business partners. His desire to understand history by analyzing data led to building quantitative trading models and eventually launching a quant hedge fund Palomar Capital.

This episode is packed with so much rich information, wisdom, and humor.
