When markets pull back, here's the classic playbook:
Throw more capital at it. Spin a narrative about recovery and resilience. Land that podcast spot to talk about "never giving up." Then wonder why the losses keep piling up.
The harsh truth? Most investors aren't actually worried—they're just not ready to admit they got the timing wrong. Fear of missing out beats fear of losing. Until it doesn't. Market cycles test conviction more than they test capital.

To be honest, I've seen too many people who tell stories every day, and in the end, they all end up crying and shouting for their parents because of losses.

Basically, it's just self-deception. Can storytelling stop the bleeding?

That's really heartbreaking. Most people are just fooling themselves; they won't admit defeat until they've lost everything.

Honestly, I'm tired of this routine. Those following the trend to buy the dip all get stuck halfway up the mountain.
