This is the million-dollar question again! [LOL] 

Ever heard of the "fundamental attribution error"? It's like when you blame the traffic for making you late but take all the credit when you arrive on time. When your investments soar, you're the mastermind, but when they plummet, the market's the villain – classic blame-shifting move!

Oh, and there's the "self-serving bias." It's the reason you call yourself a financial genius after scoring big, but when losses hit, suddenly it's the market's fault for being moody. Can't blame it for having a bad hair day, right?

Now, here's a gem: cognitive dissonance theory. When your stocks go south, you might tell yourself, "I never really liked those stocks anyway!" It's a masterful way of avoiding that "shoulda, woulda, coulda" feeling. Who knew psychology could help you rationalize like a pro?

And let's not forget hindsight bias. Remember that time you said, "I knew it!" after a stock plunged? Well, guess what? You didn't! But your brain convinces you that you did, just to mess with your head.

In the end, blaming yourself or the market is a bit like a messy breakup. It's never just one person's fault – it takes two to tango. A shrink would probably say, "Embrace your choices, learn from the mishaps, and give the market a little side-eye while you're at it." So, chin up, investor! Blame games are fun, but learning and moving forward? That's where the real treasure lies.

Own the problem! [Happy]
