Telling Financial Stories with Mihir Desai – MTI165

Most people think mixing humanity and finance creates an oxymoron, but there is more to tying wisdom and risk together than most realize.

Professor of Finance at Harvard Business School, Mihir Desai, says the humanities of finance mirror how we handle commitments. Doug uses the parallel of how the world looks at the commitment of marriages.

Our panel continues the discussion, debating the concept that the world of finance is best done through stories, not numbers.

It’s a very interesting discussion you won’t want to miss – especially when the panel discusses how the board game Monopoly teaches you terrible lessons about how to handle money.

Today’s Guest, Mihir Desai

Mihir A. Desai is the Mizuho Financial Group Professor of Finance at Harvard Business School and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Professor Desai has taught extensively as an award-winning teacher at HBS and at Harvard University and is also on the Advisory Board of the International Tax Policy Forum and the Centre for Business Taxation at Oxford University.

About our sponsor, BUZZ Index

Ever wonder if there were a way to capitalize on all of that online chatter made by millions of investors on social media? Well, your wait is over, because now advances in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing technologies are at your fingertips…. even if you personally don’t use social media! The BUZZ Index, licensed to an exchange-traded fund and trading under the ticker symbol BUZ, provides investors with a portfolio of securities that delivers a basket of large-cap U.S. equities exhibiting the highest degree of positive investor sentiment. No surveys. No guessing. BUZ only tracks what’s volunteered – and if you ARE online, you know that a lot of information is volunteered: millions of posts, comments, and blogs are analyzed each month!

Here’s how it works: First, BUZZ targets the most mentioned large cap U.S. stocks across the Social Media landscape. The more active the conversation, the greater the reliability of the BUZZ.

Each of the most-mentioned stocks is then given an insight score based on BUZZ’s proprietary analytics and the 75 stocks with the most Bullish scores are included in the Index. Each month the BUZZ is tracked to capture the latest Big Data driven insights and then the 75 companies with the most Bullish scores are selected, positioning BUZZ to capture the highest return potential.
