Anyway, looking longingly at the tremendous gains by some of those in the “never bought” pile I wonder if I would have the constitution to ask for a “do over” and be able to handle it.


Sounds familiar - which is why I have a theory about the underlying psychological flaw: Thinking too much? Or rather: Refusing to be "part of the crowd/herd"? Being a skeptic, always doubting where the masses are going? Which also would explain being attracted by the Falling Knifes board (contrarian thinking).

Naturally resulting in missing out where momentum is King, where the recipe is to join the crowd FAR longer than feeling comfortable with, because as we know the best part is the really "crazy" one before the end.

IF that´s ones character it comes down to: Outsized investment returns --- or accepting ones flaws and feeling comfortable? As my aversion to losing money is greater than my greed for me it´s an easy decision :)
