An Opinion Poll
[By Staff Reporters]
According to behavioral economists and financial advisors like Brian Knabe MD CFP™ CMP™ people feel the pain of loss twice as much as they derive pleasure from an equal gain. Studies show that humans process investment losses using the same part of the brain that responds to mortal danger.
For example, a 10% loss in the market causes twice the emotion as a 10% gain would elicit, and the short time period involved in the “flash crash” of 2008-09 compounded this effect.
And so, we ask in this ME-P poll “Where Are We in the Life Cycle of Stock Market Emotions?”

There are basically 4 psychological elements involving investing in the stock market: Greed, Fear, Hope and Regret. Whether you are trading part-time from home or trading professionally for a living

As a stock market investor, mastering these 4 psychological emotions or just being aware of these challenging emotions is always the first step toward being disciplined to overcome them.
When we do, the odd of making money in the stock market will ultimately improve.
