Why Investors Repeat Mistakes
Psychology drives markets. The "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO) compels investors to buy when prices are high, while loss aversion causes panic selling when markets dip. This simulator uses historical data to show the mathematical cost of emotional decisions.
What History Teaches
Time in the market beats timing the market. While "Buy and Hold" feels boring, it historically outperforms strategies that react to short-term volatility.
