In this latest episode of Citrus Insights, Richard Harris is joined by behavioural economist Mark Pittaccio to explore one of the most common (and costly) investor experiences: the emotional reaction to market dips.
Markets have wobbled recently, and the headlines haven’t helped. When your investments fall in value, it’s natural to feel anxious and even tempted to take action. But is doing something always the right move?
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Why we panic: Mark explains how our brains are wired to react to bad news the same way our ancestors did when facing a wild animal.
How social media and 24-hour news amplify fear and drive poor decisions.
The role of your adviser: Why a calm voice at the end of the phone can be your most valuable financial asset.
Practical tips: What to do when the market dips and you feel the urge to act. (Hint: don’t just do something – sit there!)
With over 35 years’ experience in financial services, Mark blends deep knowledge of human behaviour with straight-talking, relatable advice.
