The Marshmallow Test: Patience, Psychology, and the Investor's Edge
Update: 2025-10-10
Description
What does a 1970s psychology experiment involving children and marshmallows have to do with long-term investing? In this episode of Intelligent Investment Today, we explore the parallels between delayed gratification and successful value investing, inspired by the teaching of Benjamin Graham. From fancy cars to fast trades, many fail the adult version of the marshmallow test - but is patience a natural trait or can it be cultivated? Host David Coombs unpacks the mindset, strategies, and temperament needed to master the art of waiting - and why doing nothing is sometimes the most intelligent move an investor can make.
