Brian Sozzi says investor confidence matters, but bravado can backfire

Yahoo Finance host Brian Sozzi says confidence and conviction can matter as investors navigate markets, but warns that what looks like confidence may be misguided bravado that ends badly for investors.

Sozzi says a confident CEO can make a stronger impression on investors than one who struggles with an analyst’s question. He adds that confident company outlooks may encourage stock buying, while confident economists can calm nerves after key economic data.
