Understanding Cognitive Biases in Financial Decisions
Cognitive and emotional biases play a significant role in financial decision-making, influencing investors' choices and behaviors. For instance, overconfidence can lead individuals to overestimate their abilities, which may skew their investment strategies and risk assessments. Loss aversion often results in a reluctance to sell losing investments, which can prevent individuals from making sound financial decisions. Recognizing these biases is critical for investors to enhance their decision-making processes and achieve better financial outcomes.
