I made this post so you can all share your psychological wisdoms in the comments.
You probably know these situations. A stock drops 20% and becomes undervalued, you buy the dip. Later it drops another 30% and keeps rolling down for over a year. That's what most people fear, but value investors shouldn't.
Please share your psychological tricks. Here are mine:
- “Every bear market has felt like the end. None of them were.”
- "Calculate intrinsic value. Set a limit buy below. Relax"
- "A 20% discount that gets bigger is still better than paying full price."
- “If you’re trying to time the bottom, you’re not a value investor.”
- “All stocks fall. Only the good ones come back.”
- "If the business you own is truly strong, the storm will pass and you will be rewarded. Weakness is what gets washed away."
