Investors, Overconfidence Is Not Your Friend

February 18, 2022 · wpx_womenret · 68 Comments

Overconfidence plagues us, but it especially afflicts men. We think we’re smarter than we are, that we can outperform others at pretty much anything, and we are willing to bet money on it. When investing, we expect the market to rise more than is likely and we expect our investments to perform better than everyone else’s. Do we learn lessons after getting burned? Not likely. We can get burned over and over again and still remain overconfident, willing to take more stupid risks.

If men were smart, they would realize that it is pretty unlikely that their investments will outperform the market. Women know that they are unlikely to outperform the market, so they buy index funds like an S&P 500 index fund. And guess what? Women outperform men. Why? Men don’t buy index funds; instead they choose individual stocks, which tend to underperform the market.

Do you buy individual stocks or stock index funds? Are you happy with your investment portfolio’s performance? Are you confident that the performance of your investments will enable you to retire comfortably?

    Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe
    guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same
    subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you’re interested feel free to send me
    an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

    First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if
    you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center
    yourself and clear your head before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
    to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    suggestions or hints? Thanks!

    Howdy! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog such as yours take a lot of work?
    I am brand new to running a blog however I do write
    in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.

    Thankyou!

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads
    up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post
    to let you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Cheers
