How to keep calm in the midst of market chaos, with Louise Bedford
Welcome to another episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast. Now let me ask you… have you felt like the sky is falling lately? Between confusion about interest rates, scary headlines, rollercoaster stock prices and continued uncertainty in the property markets, it’s no wonder so many investors are feeling rattled right now. But here’s the thing—this kind of volatility isn’t new. It’s just loud. And if you listen too closely to the noise, it can shake your confidence, cloud your judgment, and lead you to make the wrong move at the wrong time. So today, I’ve got something a little different for you—a real heavyweight conversation. I’m bringing together two very different investing worlds—property and shares—and joining me is the brilliant Louise Bedford. She’s a bestselling author, a trading mentor, and one of Australia’s most respected voices in the share trading space. Louise and I are going to dive deep into the psychology of investing—what really happens in our minds when the markets get messy, why fear and greed are such powerful forces, and how to stay calm, confident, and profitable even when it feels like everything is working against you. This isn’t just another chat about what the market’s doing. It’s about what you should be doing—and more importantly, thinking—when things feel out of control. Takeaways • Market volatility is not new; it's just more pronounced now. • Investors often react emotionally during downturns, leading to poor decisions. • Long-term investors see market dips as opportunities. • A solid investment strategy is crucial for success. • Grounding techniques can help manage emotional responses. • Recognizing personal triggers is key to maintaining control. • Diversifying information sources can combat confirmation bias. • Staying calm during market panic is essential for making rational decisions. • Building resilience is vital for navigating investment challenges. • Life is about constant change; our attitudes shape our outcomes.

After all these years in property, I’m still surprised at how some investors decide which property to buy, however it doesn’t really surprise me why so many don’t get past their first or second property.
