Explanation:

Charley was swayed by the speaker's muscular, well-dressed appearance and fitness/style, leading him to trust the investment pitch without proper scrutiny, resulting in a loss. This means he overvalued the speaker's appearance rather than focusing on the actual investment merits.

Answer:

He put too much credit in the speaker's appearance.
