Course overview
This playlist explores how cognitive bias, flawed probability intuition, and statistical oversights lead to poor investment decisions—and how to correct them. Covering themes from base rate neglect to payoff asymmetry and fat tail risk, the series introduces probabilistic frameworks that help investors reframe uncertainty as a strategic edge.

Key concepts include the Kelly Criterion, fat-tailed distributions, expected value distortions, and the importance of edge over certainty. Ideal for analysts and decision-makers seeking a deeper, more resilient understanding of risk, this series will sharpen your thinking and arm you with tools to navigate randomness, rare events, and misleading signals.
