The constant doubt of the investor: Buy or wait? 🤔
The average investor often faces a constant dilemma. When the price of an asset drops, many think it has 'fallen too much' and fear it may keep falling, avoiding getting in due to the fear of not being at the true bottom. But when the price starts to rise, the mentality changes: now they expect a correction to 'buy cheaper', doubting whether this rise is genuine or just a market trap.
This indecision can be paralyzing and lead to missed opportunities both in downturns and upturns. The reality is that no one can predict the exact movement of the market. What can be done is to take a responsible stance: conduct a grounded analysis, know the asset in which one invests, and have a clear strategy, whether short, medium, or long term.
Investing is taking the risk that, at any moment, the price may rise or fall. The key is to have conviction in the investment and in the time horizon, trusting the analysis and avoiding letting fear and doubt be the factors that determine our decisions.
Note: This is just a general comment on the psychology of the investor. Each investment decision should be based on thorough analysis and appropriate risk management.
