Lies investors tell themselves................................

Ben Carlson, at A Wealth of Common Sense, offers his list.  Here are a few of my cherry-picked favorites:

I’m not wrong, the market is. You’ll see.

Investing is easy.

I’ll be greedy when others are fearful.

I’ll invest when there’s more certainty in the economy.

I never make emotional decisions.

I’ll buy hand over fist the next time the market crashes.

If I just try harder, my performance will improve.

I know where interest rates are going.

I have a fool-proof system.

Don’t worry, I can ignore the noise.

I have a good handle on my tolerance for risk.

I’ll start saving more money for retirement in the future.
