Investor Brain Type

🦤 The Ostrich

Your money is "waiting for the right time." It's been three years.

Only 10.2% of players get this type

You're cautious, level-headed, good at holding cash — a little too good. You've got money set aside "waiting for a better entry point," and you've been waiting three years while the market climbed 50% without you. But you tell yourself "at least I didn't lose." On big down days you simply don't open the app. Your most-used phrase: "Let me wait a bit longer."

The biases pulling your strings

Regret Aversion

You'd rather not act at all than risk acting and regretting it.

Status Quo Bias

Keeping things as they are feels safest — even when the status quo is quietly losing to inflation.

One way to fight it: "Not deciding" is itself a decision — and inflation makes it for you every year. Automatic, scheduled investing is the cure for chronic hesitation.
