How I learned About Concorde Fallacy/ India's Largest Station / zzzuckerberg

Leave a Comment

Dear all,

In 2017, I first started buying stocks πŸ’Ήfrom the stock market. After going through

recommendations, advertisements, and suggestions,

I bought some shares of a penny stock πŸͺ™ that I believed to be a winner, or to be more precise, a multibagger.

However, the stock price started to decline πŸ“‰. After some time, I bought some more shares of the same company and tried to average down. I waited again, but the share price declined further. Being an optimist, I again bought some shares of that penny stock. And again, the price declined further.

Now, I stopped ✋ investing any further and also did not sold the shares. Hoping that some day it will give positive returns and I will be able to recover its value.

This tendency to continue investing in something that is not working out, simply because I have already invested a lot of time, money, or effort into it, is known as the Concorde Fallacy or Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Ultimately, the investment became a loss-making one.

This term came from the British and French governments' decision to continue funding the development of the Concorde supersonic passenger jet, even after it became clear that the project was not economically viable.

Here are some tips for avoiding the sunk cost fallacy:

πŸ•΅️ Set clear investment goals and objectives.

✍️ Regularly review your investments and make adjustments as needed.

🫑Be willing to admit when you have made a mistake.

😱Don't be afraid to cut your losses.

The sunk cost fallacy is a common cognitive 🀯bias that can lead to poor decision-making. By understanding this fallacy and being aware of its triggers, you can avoid making costly mistakes in your investments.

Almost all medical professionals have seen what we call "futile care" being performed on people. That's when doctors bring the cutting edge of technology to bear on a grievously ill person near the end of life. The patient will get cut open, perforated with tubes, hooked up to machines, and assaulted with drugs. All of this occurs in the Intensive Care Unit at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars a day. What it buys is misery we would not inflict on a terrorist. - [Source]
