for me - being impulsive will be one of the many reasons to make poor financial decisions...
not having patience is the other reason...
when a stock that am holding decided to dive down, I would tend to hold onto it and [Bless] [Bless] [Bless] that it would trend up quickly.
this is also the very reason that going for good, stable companies is important as most of the time these companies tend to recover. just have to ride out the storm
it's also the time to go "shopping for more" as you are buying at a discounted price [smile]
in any case, always important to have risk management and go for companies that have proven themselves time and time again that they can and will emerge from the temporary storm

Making poor financial decisions can be influenced by various factors. Some common reasons include:
Lack of research and knowledge: Making decisions without thoroughly understanding the investment or financial product can lead to poor outcomes. It is important to conduct proper research and seek professional advice before making any financial decisions.
Emotional decision-making: Allowing emotions such as fear, greed, or impatience to drive investment decisions can lead to poor outcomes. Emotional decision-making often results in buying high and selling low, which is counterproductive to long-term financial success.
Lack of discipline and patience: Impulsive behavior and a lack of patience can lead to poor financial decisions. It is important to have a long-term perspective and stick to a well-thought-out investment plan, even during market downturns.
Following the crowd: Making investment decisions based on the actions of others without conducting independent analysis can be detrimental. Following the crowd can lead to herd mentality and result in poor investment choices.
Overconfidence: Being overly confident in one's abilities or knowledge can lead to excessive risk-taking and poor financial decisions. It is important to recognize and manage one's own biases and limitations.
Neglecting risk management: Failing to assess and manage risks associated with investments can lead to significant losses. It is important to diversify investments, set realistic expectations, and regularly review and adjust investment portfolios.
Lack of financial goals and planning: Without clear financial goals and a well-defined plan, it is easy to make impulsive and irrational decisions. Setting specific financial goals and creating a plan can help guide decision-making and ensure long-term financial success.
Remember, it is crucial to make informed and rational decisions based on thorough research, disciplined approach, and a long-term perspective. Seeking professional advice and continuously educating oneself about personal finance can also help avoid poor financial decisions.
