‘Shefrin and Statman (1985) predicted that because people dislike incurring losses much more than they enjoy making gains, and people are willing to gamble in the domain of losses, investors qill hold onto stocks that have lost value (relative to the reference point of thir purchase) and will be eager to sell stocks that have risen in value. They called this the disposition effect.’
