As more investors sell, market liquidity diminishes. With fewer buyers, prices drop rapidly, and it becomes challenging to sell large volumes of assets without significantly impacting the market price.

Many investors who sold in panic missed out on the recovery and subsequent growth in technology stocks over the following decades.

Financial markets have historically shown a tendency to recover after downturns. By selling in panic, investors lock in losses and miss out on the potential gains from the market rebound. Recoveries can often be rapid and significant, with markets regaining lost ground and surpassing previous highs.

Investments left undisturbed have the potential to benefit from compounded growth. Over time, the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains can significantly enhance returns. Panic selling disrupts this compounding process, leading to diminished long-term growth.
