Any good reads on the (patho)psychology of long term bag holders? GME, BBY, LINK, Bayhorse, any other of the many, many shitcoins. I find these groups very fun and interesting to observe, and I'm wondering if there have been any good scholarly works on these populations. What makes them tick? What blinds them so? Why must the hold? How can I ensure I avoid such a fate? How can I help friends of similar delusions?

>>62275443That's a good point re community. I'd imagine many don't have other communities to be a part of and/or check them, so there is value to being part of this group, even if it costs you financially.
>>62275427So you mean like normal investing. Buying a stock and being long on it. Do you also sneed about people who stacked silver for years like a retard? sage
