Anchoring
(redirected from Anchoring and adjustment)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Anchoring
The act of basing an investment decision on irrelevant information. For example, if one bases the value of a stock on its price a year ago, one is practicing anchoring. This can be a dangerous practice, but it is also easy to do. Anchoring is a concept in behavioral economics, which states that people often make decisions based on their perceptions and feelings in addition to (and sometimes instead of) facts.
