Loss aversion explained
1 of 10 topics
Why going red feels like a game over screen.
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature of your brain. This skill explains why we hate seeing losses so much and why that often leads to panic-selling or giving up too early.
Once you understand this bias, you’ll stop flinching at red charts and start making moves based on logic, not fear.
You'll learn:
- Why your brain overreacts to financial losses and treats them as more painful than equal-sized wins
- How loss aversion causes panic moves and ruins long-term strategy through bad timing and emotional selling
- How to reframe short-term dips so they don’t trigger fear, panic or the urge to quit too early
