"It's easy to be negative and that can cause you to say, 'Why do I want to put myself in a position of maybe losing another 20% or 30% of my money when I've already amassed an awful lot of money and I am already in my '60s or '70s and I need the safety and protection and by the way get five percent in my bonds or U.S. Treasury or my bank CD? Why don't I just park it? Earn 5%. Call it a day,' he said.
"I'm not sure everybody in the investment world is acting logically as opposed to emotionally. You've got to know yourself," said Edelman.
