Mind Over Wealth

We all hate to lose. Our fear of loss drives too many decisions when it comes to money, and costs us dearly. Successful investment requires stepping back from deep-seated emotions and survival instincts— and learning to understand the market instead of reacting to its turbulence.

Super-investors like Warren Buffet know how to stay calm in a financial crisis and come out ahead. But most of us try math and magic to win at investing and wind up behind. We’d be better off learning to keep a cool head — and overcoming our irrational fear of loss. Being afraid to lose makes us sell low, buy high, ignore compounding losses, and sink money into the wrong stocks. In these times, no one can afford to let fear ruin financial well-being.
