Don’t let the "break-even fallacy” and human psychology sabotage your investment returns!

Today we look at two reasons why avoiding making a large loss as you invest throughout your life is actually quite a lot more important – big picture - than many people realise overall. First - The crucial role played by human psychology. Secondly - Something called “the break-even fallacy”. The way our brains work increases the likelihood that we will buy high and sell low. Financial products are one of the few things that people tend to buy when they’re expensive and sell when they’re cheap – for reasons of deep-seated human psychology. It is for this reason that most people’s investment returns are generally a long way lower than the returns of the stock market as a whole, which can be disastrous for your ability to build wealth. Today we look at this idea in a bit more detail and at what you might do about it. We also look at “the break-even fallacy” which all too few people understand. This is just about how the maths works at the most fundamental level when it comes to calculating percentage returns. Big crashes and volatility in stock markets need not matter if you have a plan, invest for the very long run, invest regularly each month and avoid panicking through market crashes – as we have covered in detail in the last few weeks and months in this video series.
