Here’s a 5 minute lesson on how to spot lies. Note that the stock market is a venue in which a lot of people try to make money by convincing you to buy a particular stock — without telling you their real interests. So you need to watch out.
The language of lying
We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we’ve spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable.
