Behavioral finance was my secret weapon in the market. Instead of following the herd or getting swept up by emotions, I started looking at market psychology. I realized that people often make irrational decisions based on fear or greed, which leads to market swings. I learned to spot these patterns, like when everyone’s selling in a panic. Instead of joining the madness, I took a deep breath and bought when others were fearful. The key was understanding how emotions mess with decision-making. The more I knew about human behavior, the better I became at making logical, informed trades. It turns out, mastering my emotions was just as important as mastering the market!
