Part 3/7:
As the years progress, Andrea’s mindset leads her to postpone investments repeatedly. She remains vigilant and reactive to global events, always convinced that a better time to invest lies just around the corner.
1986-1990: Andrea watches the Dow reach 2000, feeling it is overvalued, and waits even longer due to rising recession fears and the Black Monday crash in 1987.
1991-2000: Several years of indecision follow, where Andrea allows crises like the Gulf War and the tech bubble to further her doubts, perpetually postponing her investments.
Her continuous waiting results in missed opportunities. For instance, while she waits for the right moment, Charles’ investment continues to grow steadily.
