Why Most Investors Underperform the Market

It's ironic but true — despite all the tools, tips, and technology available today, many investors still underperform even the index. Why? Because of behavior. Investors buy when there's hype (FOMO), and sell when there's fear (panic). This constant emotional yo-yo leads to poor timing, missed opportunities, and subpar returns. The market rewards discipline, patience, and conviction — not reactions to news headlines or WhatsApp forwards. In fact, studies have shown that doing nothing often beats doing too much. 🚨 Tip: Build a long-term strategy. Stick to it.
