📉 Retail Investors Miss Out on Market Gains

According to JPMorgan, the average retail investor achieved only a 9.8% return this year, compared to the S&P 500’s impressive 26.6% growth.

🔍 Why the Gap?
1️⃣ Selling Top Performers: Many sold high-growth stocks like Nvidia and Tesla during the August market dip.
2️⃣ Panic Decisions: Emotional reactions led to missed opportunities.
3️⃣ Weak Strategies: A lack of long-term planning hampered returns.

💡 Investors often underestimate the importance of discipline and patience in volatile markets.

Are you staying the course or making emotional moves in your portfolio?
