And when the evidence builds up, and our belief system stubbornly digs its heals in, cognitive dissonance sets in.
This is the 'disclosure: held, sentiment sell' phenomenon. It happened to me. One part of my brain knew the stock was rotten and I should throw in the towel, but another part continued to believe things would come good if I stood my ground. I was hopeful and despondent all at the same time.
Once I sold the fog lifted and I felt as though I woke from a delirium.
