What is Loss Aversion?
Loss Aversion is the psychological quirk where the pain of losing ₹1,000 feels twice as sharp as the joy of gaining ₹1,000. In our minds, the sting of a “Red” portfolio far outweighs the thrill of a “Green” one, often leading us to make emotional choices rather than rational ones.
In the Indian market, this often manifests as “holding onto losers.” You might refuse to sell a crashing mid-cap stock because booking the loss feels like admitting defeat, praying it eventually returns to your “buy price.” Meanwhile, you might rush to sell a winning Blue Chip stock the moment it gains 5% just to “lock in” the profit before it disappears. To beat this, stop anchoring your decisions to your purchase price. Ask yourself: “If I had fresh capital today, would I still pick this stock, or am I just afraid to let go?”
