DeclinismThere is something to be said about this cognitive default exhibited by many, some of which happen to be investors and some of which aren’t (ie. recluse). It’s a cognitive flaw that has been mastered by a few and little understood by many and is the difference between long term investing success and/or failure.
Be aware that bashers, bears, eternal recessionists etc. either demonstrate this flaw or feed upon it to achieve their goals.....or are destined for continual nonfulfillment.
