Minimizing Our Most Powerful Emotion — Regret | Denise Shull Is Off The Charts
Air Time:
Fridays @ 10:00 am ET
It’s hard to believe Denise Shull is a product of parents and grandparents who believed in “buy and hold” and wouldn’t even know how to sell a share of stock if asked to.
Today, Denise is well known as a Performance Coach to big Wall Street traders, specializing in modern psychoanalysis.
Before this, she traded in Chicago and ran a proprietary trading desk in New York City. All of which became fodder to help her publish a book on her expertise — for which she went to school. Later, her book caught the attention of Hollywood in the crafting of stories for the Showtime TV series Billions.
In this episode of Off The Charts, we chat with Denise about emotions and why we can’t make decisions without them.
She also reveals the most powerful human emotion of all — regret, and our natural drive to avoid it at all costs. In trading, and in life.
If traders can get their risk perceptions right and foster an awareness of other’s positioning and their perceptions, a trader can get a step ahead of the game.
