Study Notes

Causes of Anchoring in Finance

Anchoring is a cognitive bias where individuals rely too heavily on the first piece of information they receive (the "anchor") when making decisions.
In finance, anchoring can be influenced by an emotional relationship with an initial purchase price.
Setting a price target based on personal preference or appeal can also lead to anchoring.
The example of a ship staying close to shore is not directly relevant to anchoring in finance.
