Your Emotions Are Your Worst Enemy
Panic selling during market drops and buying at peaks costs investors billions every year. The market rewards patience and discipline, not emotional reactions. Learn to control your emotions and you'll outperform 90% of investors who let fear and greed drive their decisions.
How Emotional Investing Destroys Wealth
Fear: When markets drop 20%, emotional investors panic and sell at the bottom, locking in losses. They miss the recovery that always follows.
Greed: When everyone is buying and prices are high, emotional investors jump in at the peak, buying overvalued assets right before the correction.
The Solution: Set a strategy, automate your investments, and never check your portfolio during market crashes. Time in the market beats timing the market.
