Back Wishful thinking

This is with reference to the article `Gamblers' fallacy' (Business Line, November 27): I fully agree with the author. People tend to suffer from wishful thinking that events will turn out as they desire. This mindset prevents them from using stop-loss, which eventually results in wiping off their hard-earned gains in matter of minutes.
