What is the Hindsight Bias?
Hindsight bias is a psychological trap of the “I knew it all along” syndrome, where past events suddenly seem perfectly predictable once the outcome is known. In the stock market, this looks like watching a PSU stock double in a month and telling your friends, “It was obvious, look at the government policies!”—conveniently forgetting you never actually bought the shares.
Or, looking at a sudden crash and claiming the warning signs were crystal clear, erasing the memory of your bullishness just yesterday. We confuse outcome knowledge with actual foresight. The Fix: Keep a trading journal. Write down your exact reasoning before taking a trade. Reviewing your actual past thoughts breaks the illusion that you could have predicted the future.
