Humans get overwhelmed by too many options, a behavioral finance concept known as "choice overload." How investors encounter choice overloadChristopher Ames | E+ | Getty ImagesIt's not just investing: The choice paradox can extend to things like ice cream flavors and apparel, for example. Given these behavioral biases, retailers and others have evolved, making it less likely consumers will experience choice overload "in the wild" today, said Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at Betterment. Do-it-yourselfers may have about one to two dozen investment options, at most, from which to choose, reducing the choice friction. If you don't give people an easy choice, "it's really hard for them," Blanchett said.

The iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT) , which has exposure to Treasurys ranging between 1 and 30 years in duration, was down 1.85% during the same period.

Guilt tipping, explainedNearly a quarter of people say they always feel pressured to tip when the option is presented, according to LendingTree's survey. "It's happening all over the place, and people are getting increasingly tired of it," he says. "People don't want to feel like a jerk or cheapskate," he says. It's worth noting that the business doesn't always decide which tip options you're presented with.

Rebecca Noble | AFP | Getty ImagesCustomer fear became a self-fulfilling prophecyOur brains are hard-wired for a bank run. Last week, bank customers saw their peers run for the exits; sensing danger, that herd mentality meant they also rushed to withdraw their cash. More from Personal Finance:What small businesses should look for when choosing a bankWhat Signature Bank, Silicon Valley Bank failures mean for consumers and investorsWhat to know about FDIC insuranceWhy the bank run on SVB seemed 'rational' for someThere are firewalls against this kind of behavior. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, backstops bank customers' savings up to $250,000. "If you don't rationally understand the way the market interprets signals, you can make a mistake like Silicon Valley Bank," Shefrin said.
"It's very easy to have an impression of, 'Actually, I know a lot and haven't been proven wrong,'" Egan said. For example, investors can fall prey to "confirmation bias," whereby they seek out evidence in social media circles that confirms a previously held but potentially false belief. When an investment is trendy, 'start watching yourself'Overconfidence bias in investing tends to manifest most often with get-rich-quick type investment decisions, Egan said. "That's when you need to start watching yourself," he said. Similarly, overconfidence may lead rushed investors to accidentally buy the wrong stock, Egan said.
Fuse | Corbis | Getty ImagesWhen it comes to investing, you may know less than you think — and that overconfidence may be costly. But "overconfidence bias" — the behavioral principle of overestimating one's financial acumen — can have damaging results. "It's very easy to have an impression of, 'Actually, I know a lot and haven't been proven wrong,'" Egan said. Similarly, overconfidence may lead rushed investors to accidentally buy the wrong stock, Egan said. However, investors inadvertently bought the wrong stock — the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was referring to the encrypted messaging app Signal, whereas Signal Advance is a small component manufacturer.
The fear of loss can cost investors big-time. Here’s how

Westend61The fear of loss is a powerful emotion for investors — and, if left unchecked, can cost them big bucks in the long term due to years of forfeiture of investment gains. watch nowFor investors, that evolutionary impulse plays out as "loss aversion bias." Investors have a bias toward avoiding financial loss. Prioritizing the avoidance of loss over earning a gain "is a major reason why so many investors underperform the market," Aguilar said. Meanwhile, 401(k) investors pulled money out of stock mutual funds during the same time period.
Election workers open mail in ballots at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center in Phoenix on Nov. 11, 2022. "We still effectively have kind of a balanced government, which is actually something markets usually like," Egan said. "This is typically good for markets as it reduces policy and regulatory risk," she said. Keep in mind how little control any given set of politicians has over the stock market or the economy in general. What's more, if you take investment risk off the table in response to the results, you could miss out on the market's upside.
