How The Endowment Effect Traps Your Retirement Savings
Lucas and Luna explore the endowment effect, a cognitive bias where ownership inflates perceived value. Using the specific case of defined contribution plans like 401k or 403b accounts, they examine why people hoard familiar domestic stocks despite diversification risks. With market volatility high in October twenty twenty six, this episode explains how the mere act of holding an asset creates irrational attachment, leading to suboptimal portfolio allocation and missed growth opportunities for everyday investors.
