Cope
Plain reading
The act of constructing narratives to justify holding a losing position rather than accepting the loss and moving on. Coping can take the form of shifting goalposts, redefining what success means, or insisting that the market simply has not recognized the asset's value yet.
The Oracle speaks
The Hanged Man sees the world from a new angle and calls it enlightenment. But not every inversion is a revelation. Sometimes you are simply upside down, watching your portfolio drain, telling yourself it is a learning experience. The cards are patient with self-deception. They have seen it before.
