Blaming market crashes or bad timing for your losses is an absolute COP OUT. The market drops 15% to 20% every few years like clockwork, yet retail investors panic-sell at the bottom and buy right back at the peak because they can’t control their immediate fear. If your entire portfolio gets wiped out during a regular market correction, it isn’t bad luck it is a direct result of zero asset allocation, heavy over-leverage, and treating the stock market like a casino. The index always recovers over a 10 year horizon, but your capital won’t survive if your behavior is completely broken. True investing success has almost nothing to do with predicting the perfect entry point and everything to do with mastering your own impatience. #Investing #MarketBehavior #PersonalFinance
