Reasons for Missing Opportunities - For amateur investors, a lack of continuous attention to the stock market leads to missing out on opportunities, which is understandable given their focus on other careers [7]. - Professional investors experience significant frustration when they miss out on gains, especially when they see others profiting. This feeling can be more intense than losses during a bear market [7][8].

Strategies for Adjustments - Investors need to broaden their understanding of market adjustments, which can take various forms beyond significant declines in broad indices. Style rotation is also a crucial aspect of market adjustments [15][16]. - It is essential to differentiate between interest in broad indices and specific companies or industries, as their performances may not always align [17]. Investment Approach - The article suggests that during a bull market, it is unwise to remain in cash waiting for adjustments. Instead, investors should maintain a high level of engagement and look for opportunities in undervalued sectors [19][20]. - The current market is described as healthy, with a potential for adjustments, but no signs of a bear market reversal are evident [22][23].
