Result: Based on this quiz, your predominant bias is an Anchoring Bias
Beginning an analysis with a default number in mind and adjusting up or down from that number. The “anchor” number often unduly influences the ultimate conclusion.

Ya lol! And always buy too early and sell too early. Mai Pen Rai. Is it Thai for never mind?
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.
