Am I the only one who paralyzes myself with indecision? Especially when it comes to decisions like when to sell or when to buy, I am always afraid that I will pull the trigger, the price will change, and I will regret my decision. This leads to not being able to sleep or a constant worry that I am leaving money on the table.
