ethics we think to invest, we often assume that what we think and feel has nothing to do with how a portfolio. However, this is not the case. Although you can not control the market, the reality is you can control your mindset.And sometimes your mindset influences your reactions to what's going on with your market and your portfolio.
Here are some ways that can influence your thinking about what's happening with your investment portfolio:
Giving Panic Then Sell Low
One of the most dangerous mindsets to have, when you invest, is fear. When you are in a state of fear, your ability to make good decisions is compromised. This is especially true if you let the panic lead you in sales along with the flock when there is a market collision.When you sell because you are afraid of market performance, you risk selling low and lock your losses. Instead of selling because you are afraid, take a step back and check the basics.If the fundamentals do not change, it is possible that the asset will recover after the current volatility fades. Change your mindset a bit, you can avoid making a big mistake.
Too confident in your Abilities
While you do not want to let fear lead you to sell low for no good reason, you also do not want to be too confident in your abilities and make a big mistake as an investor. This type of overconfidence can encourage you to take a greater risk than you can tolerate, confident that your investment genius will save you.
Be careful, too, for over-confident bias. These types of biases, such as just paying attention to information that supports your position, or believing that good results are entirely the result of your greatness can lead you to have greater confidence in your abilities than is justified.Be aware of your growing confidence, and find ways to keep a close eye on it. You do not want to be too sure, but you should also have a healthy skepticism about your genius as an investor.
Too Risk Averse
In some cases, it is possible to reject the risk. Even if you want to practice risk management in your investment choices, you do not want to be so afraid of the risk that you can not build your wealth effectively.
The reality is that cash investments - even if they are safe - will not cut them when it comes to wealth creation. The return is very small in many cases that you are lucky if you manage to keep up with inflation.Change your mindset so you can accept some level of risk in your investment portfolio. With the right diversity, you can support your portfolio with a level of security, even as you develop your wealth with appropriate risks. You do not need to run out and start trading forex or get involved with commodities, but you can add some more equity to your portfolio.
Stop and Think
Stop and think about your current investment mindset. Do you have the bias and the fear of holding you back? If so, it's time to make a concerted effort to change your mindset so you can invest more effectively.
