I really like his risk analysis. Why are people comfortable investing at the top of the market, but uncomfortable investing at the bottom of the market?

Game theory, investors adding value or subtracting value, it's all putting the cart before the horse. So let's say an angel investor gets game theory and adding value right, and builds relationships accordingly. The Angel still needs to know how to pick the correct investments or he ends up building relationships with the wrong people.
