What to do in bear market

 What to do when the market is heavily falling down? It is not certainly cell. Of course, you can sell if it is calculated and like you intended. But for the majority of the mobs fall into the mode of panic selling. The reason is quite simple. They are out of their wits. And they are acting like nuts. That won’t solve any problem. It actually makes things worse. What often people don’t realize at this time is that they are actually under the sunk cost fallacy.

Sunk cost fallacy is simple to explain. But the practical solution is often to perform and very much rare to find a person who actually does above the fallacy trap. Sunk cost fallacy can be simply defined as an action inspired by fear and panic. But sadly these are the times we mostly do insane things captivated by decisions taken out of our wits.

To make a better decision, either we have to be mindful or must be prepared. So when we are prepared, we know the decision that is ought to be taken at unanticipated times. Do it now and make the change. When it comes to investments in a heavy bear market, the wisest thing to do is nothing. Just stay there and simply watch. Or you can do the dollar-cost averaging stuff.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Breaking down to the elements

Although after spending lot of time in studying and learning a particular subject , we stumble upon coming up with ideas. No creative way of expressing the bit of information gathered so far. Reading some books, going through multiple articles and talking to a lot of people (master at the things you wish to know )might help to boost the knowledge. But no use to making it a part of your thinking. I mean you can't. But it could be done. It doesn't mean that you have to work eighty hours a week, it means you have to know how to learn before learning. It's like making a smart move. Lot of scientifically proven techniques are available in the internet. All of it points at the same direction , it is to break the elements into its basic elements.

Beliefs of discount

 Seasons are mostly beneficial to those who are making whole sales. The sales are driven highly with anticipation of belief that people are ready to spend money than before. It is beneficial to both the customer and seller. The main reason is the volume. In normal days, people won’t go shopping vividly and manufactures are less active. We are taught to believe that during season sales companies sell products with more discount. Sometimes with buy one get one offer. No one wants to bet large amount of money during non-seasonal days. We wait for discount to hit thus to save money. And when the discount breaks, huge amount of masses place the order. This is way more than actual sale. Discounts are certain and hence the profit.   On the flipside, companies will profit like hell these days. They employ more workers during this time and install many outlets. They know they can swap money like never before. It is confusing to see who makes real profit. Both sides cannot maintain the...

Fixing an intimidating deadline

 Fixing a time which has a limited duration is what actually drives the person. Vaguely making any commitment would always ends up unfinished. The thing that is observed throughout this vague sense is tha false belief of there is plenty of time exists. That's in a way correct. But the moment tha thought rushes in, every things get grubby. The natural tendency of us towards laziness is far more comfortable than any. This is well appreciated by our second self who wants to live in the darkness of comfort zone. This evil self hates dead line and flees at the time of deadline making it all to our good self which wants to finish first thing first. This deed self often get offended by the evil part. Evil part is expert at making us blind to the truth. Although it is clear that you won't make it unless by starting now, you chose not to. That's is the resistance that keeps the exalted version at bay.  This is not good for us. We want to shut those negatives up. Let's intimidat...
