How to Profit from a 10% Market Drop

Learn How to Make Money During Market Pullbacks
You believe something deeply.
And when you look around, it feels like everyone else does too.
Your feed agrees. Your friends nod along. Your podcasts echo the same ideas.
That’s The False Consensus Effect → the cognitive bias that makes us overestimate how widely our opinions are shared.
“Everyone thinks this is wrong.”
“Nobody would do that.”
“Obviously, this is the best way.”
But is that consensus… or just your circle?
We don’t realize how much we curate our environments:
We follow people who think like us.
We spend time with those who validate us.
We engage with ideas we already agree with.
And the algorithm? It notices.
It reinforces what we already believe until disagreement feels not just wrong, but absurd.
The more you hear your views repeated, the more you assume they’re common sense.
But they’re not. They’re just common to you.
So next time something feels obvious, ask:
“Have I heard other views… or just louder echoes?”
Because clarity doesn’t come from consensus.
It comes from stepping outside it.
