----- 

After every major market move, investors are tempted to say, "I knew that was going to happen." In this episode, we explore hindsight bias: the mental shortcut that makes the past look more predictable than it really was, and why that can be dangerous for your portfolio. 

Listen now and learn:

► Why past market events often look clearer in hindsight than they felt in real time

► How the "I knew it" trap can lead investors toward overconfidence and market timing

► Why diversified portfolios can feel disappointing when judged only after the fact

► A simple way to make future investment decisions less dependent on unreliable memory
