You read a strong headline, and suddenly you feel it deep down: "Meri Gut Feeling hai, yeh Stock chalne vaala hai!" (My gut feeling says this stock will run!) 🧠

This powerful impulse—trusting intuition over calculated research—is Myth 21, and it’s a direct ticket to impulsive buying, emotional holding, and overconfident losses.

In this deep dive into Behavioral Finance, we explore how the desire for the next multi-bagger tricks us into believing research is a waste of time.

🎧 Join the conversation to learn:

• The Overconfidence Cycle: Why success based on gut feeling makes you dangerously overconfident ("Maine kaha tha!"), and failure leaves you emotionally attached to losing stocks.
• The Impulsive Shopping Mistake: Learn why emotional buying in the market is exactly like buying an item you don't need—the short-term high leads to long-term regret.
• The Solution: You must control your impulsive behavior with logic and analysis.

💡 The Gut Feeling Action Plan:Sanchit Taksali shares the rational way to handle a strong intuition while minimizing risk:

2. Measure Safety: Always calculate the Margin of Safety (risk vs. reward) before investing.
4. The Minimum Rule: If you can't ignore the feeling, invest only a minimum, token amount to satisfy your urge.
6. Research Test: Use that minimum investment as the motivation to force yourself to conduct the deep, fundamental research required.
