What is Regret Aversion?
Regret Aversion is the fear of making a “wrong” move, leading investors to do nothing at all or play it too safe. It’s the mental tug-of-war where you avoid a decision not because of the numbers, but because you’re terrified of the “I should have known” feeling later. In the stock market, this often looks like analysis paralysis. You might watch a solid EV stock climb for months, yet refuse to buy because you’re scared of a correction right after you enter.
Conversely, you might avoid selling a stagnant stock because you fear it will skyrocket the moment you exit. By trying to avoid the pain of being wrong, you miss the gain of being right. The Fix: You should focus on the process, not just the outcome. Remember, the cost of a missed opportunity is often higher than the cost of a calculated mistake.
