is above the average‚ it is gain. Also‚ if it is below the average‚ it is loss. The function is concave in the domain of gains and convex in the domain of losses. It is also steeper for losses than for gains‚ which implies that people are generally risk averse. That is what we call prospect theory for disposition effect. An Alternative Behavioral Theory Investors suppose that their losers are going to outperform better than their winners in the future. For this reason they keep losers in their hands
