Jason Zweig

Jason Zweig has written the "Your Money" column for The Wall Street Journal for over a decade and previously wrote for Money magazine. He edited the 2003 revised edition of Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor", adding contemporary commentary that made Graham's principles accessible to modern readers. Zweig's journalism focuses on behavioral finance, investor psychology, and the many ways in which retail investors are manipulated or make self-destructive decisions. His work has helped millions of individual investors understand the importance of long-term, low-cost investing over market timing and speculation. His research into the history of financial innovation — particularly the repeated cycles of speculation, euphoria, and subsequent collapse that recur across asset classes — provides readers with deep historical context for evaluating present-day market narratives.
