But two, is that where, I mean, I'm just asking for a friend, but is that where advisors get fired, bad performance?

Ryan MurphyGUEST
It's the lack of understanding of what to expect, right? So I think that good advisors spend a lot of time early on when markets are doing well, planting the seeds in people's minds to remind them that this isn't always the case.

Ryan MurphyGUEST
And so if you have a person look at their portfolio and see whether it goes up or down, it's close to about 50, 50, 53 percent of the time it's up at the daily level.

Ryan MurphyGUEST
But if you look over much broader periods of time, say a person were to check their portfolio once, once a year.

Warren IngramHOST

Ryan MurphyGUEST
So how does this affect what people decide when they're investing? And even if they're not over-monitoring? Well, I mean, markets are always going up and down.

Ryan MurphyGUEST
But it's worth recognizing that people are hypersensitive, that they feel they remember the downs more than they do the ups.
