Which is stronger, fear or greed?

Fear is always stronger than greed, thats why a popular misconception is that newbies overtrade. patently untrue, in fact if anything they UNDErtrade

 

Just posted this in another thread recently; I think it answers the question.

 

It depends upon the gain vs pain ratio.

 

Fear – it’s why price falls on average 2 ½ times faster than it rises

It is not very intelligent to associate greed with long and fear with short.

Both are associated with mental mistakes usually associated with linking a balance sheet to doing the trading routine.

There is a line in the sand that has to do with learning to count chips after the game is over. It is a before and after thing.

 

for the first time, jack wrote a sentence that I can understand.

 

Hersey,

When one get’s past the elementary BS you espouse – it is not very intelligent to associate fear and greed with anything but rising and falling prices


Get past the “everyone around here is a mental midget/ emotional wreck” crap... Every trader is responsible for standing on their own two feet, their trading, and their success or failures – period…


Oh that’s right your ego won’t allow that will it guru – always feeding the reliance on you – as are the only one with all the answers

I read somewhere in that a statistical study of price behavioral psychology they found that the fear of missing out on a Market move is 4 times greater than the fear of losing money.

To simplfy: Greed is the fear of missing out on something

 

So much for "Redneck" being a gentleman all the time
