Investors are subject to the sunk cost fallacy, whereby they hold a stock they currently believe is a bad investment, because to sell it is to admit it was a bad choice.

Sure, are they also subject to a lost profits fallacy, where if they believe an investment is good but don't invest in it, they would be entirely rational? I don't see it.
