Emotional Investing: A Recipe for Disaster

Emotional investing is akin to navigating treacherous waters without a compass. Fear of missing out (FOMO) can push investors to chase after hot trends, resulting in buying at inflated prices. Similarly, greed can lead to excessive risk-taking, seeking quick profits without proper evaluation of potential downsides. Emotions can distort perceptions of the market, leading to irrational decision-making, and ultimately, significant financial losses.
