There’s a term taught in most introductory business or economics courses, opportunity cost. A perfect example of opportunity cost could be happening to some investors right now. Many people have been expressing fear that stocks are overvalued and that a ‘crash is coming’. However, the markets have shown very little, so far, in supporting those claims. People moving their money out of the markets in preparation or fear of a crash are missing some potentially nice gains. The opportunity cost of sitting on the sidelines out of fear versus staying in the market is very real for some investors.
