What did the Greeks get from the Vedic Pundits?

So, What is the Appetite for Risk?

 

If you could answer this question you would hold the key to behavioral finance and to psychology itself. We don’t know even though we want to know and usually pretend to know. Some people have called it “Mr. Market.” Keynes called it the “Animal Spirits.” But he only borrowed it from the Greeks and the Greeks got it from Vedic pundits who called it….? (This is an ancient Trivia question…emailing me the correct answer will warrant a free Behavioral Trading report.) We humans can send a man to the moon, but we are far from understanding our own psyche. In reality, all we can do is observe the ever changing phenomenon of risk appetite. We may not understand it but we could profitably follow it from time to time. Some thoughts from a Minyan who is always in the Mountains: “Don’t follow the money, follow the risk appetite and as always, Minyan on.”
