Navigating Cognitive Biases in Financial Decision-Making
Cognitive and emotional biases can significantly impact financial decisions, leading individuals to make choices that may not align with their best interests. Overconfidence bias, for example, often results in investors overestimating their abilities and taking undue risks, potentially jeopardizing their portfolios. Loss aversion explains why the pain of losing money is felt more intensely than the joy of gaining money, which can hinder a rational approach to investing. A better understanding of these biases can help individuals mitigate their effects, allowing for more informed and rational financial decisions.
