Behavioral Finance and the “Freudian Put”: An Interview with StockTwits’ Phil Pearlman

Posted In: Behavioral Finance, Future States

Several days ago we sat down with a man who has his finger on the pulse of the markets better than most, Phil Pearlman, executive editor of StockTwits. Besides that role, Pearlman is also a former hedge fund manager and a clinical psychologist so he is well-qualified to discuss behavioral finance, as well as a concept he is calling the “Freudian Put.” Last, find out what is happening at StockTwits firsthand.

The market has a spiritual context and tone that lies under the veil of Wall Street antics, which is clearly appreciable.

A behaviorally driven approach to the market takes one, one step closer that realm.
