In normal cases, an investor gets jittery when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/stocks-screener\">stock price<\/a> falls.

And thus the vicious circle of emotional biases begins from here&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Howard Marks, a billionaire value investor, said more than two decades ago, \u201cIn order to be successful, an investor has to understand not just finance, accounting and economics but also psychology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at few investing biases that affect the performance of the portfolio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overconfidence Bias:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some investors believe they can successfully time the market by predicting market downturns and rallies.

At times it is difficult to filter through it to focus on information that is relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many investors believe that they have a knowledge advantage when they get a tip from someone but unfortunately, end up with the wrong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/mukul-agrawal-portfolio-shareholdings-investments-all-you-need-to-know\/\">investments<\/a> or sell sound investments that have further growth potential.

If everybody around is investing in a particular stock, there is a strong tendency to do the same. But this strategy is bound to backfire in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legendary investor Warren Buffett has rightly said, \\&#8221;Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful!\\&#8221; He became one of the most successful investors in the world by resisting the bias of following the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loss Aversion Bias:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People often feel the pain of loss more than the happiness of profits. Loss aversion is one of the most common investing mistakes. Investors are most likely to sell stocks that are increasing in value but will continue to hold businesses that are falling because it hurts to take a loss. This strategy results in a portfolio composed entirely of shares that are losing money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-Attribution Bias:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many investors tend to suffer from self-attribution bias where they take the credit when things are going good and attribute it to their stock-picking skills but blame luck for losses due to wrong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchandranking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investment decisions.<\/a> As a result, they end up committing the same mistake again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"9122\" class=\"elementor elementor-9122\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-46f73ca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"46f73ca\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-305b705\" data-id=\"305b705\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cdb886b\" data-id=\"cdb886b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d25388b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d25388b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Google-Ads-Creative-06.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-24867\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Google-Ads-Creative-06.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Google-Ads-Creative-06-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Google-Ads-Creative-06-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Google-Ads-Creative-06-819x1024.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af94044 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"af94044\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchandranking.com\/contact-us-for-stock-advice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get a call now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hindsight Bias:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I know that would happen\u2019.
