Hindsight (so also said in German, more rarely [unschön] hindsight)

This underestimation of uncertainty makes investors reckless; they now take more risks than would be soberly and objectively appropriate. – See Animal Spirits, expectations, unreasonable, euphoria phase, financial psychology, gambling effect, herd behavior, crisis foreshadowing, myopia, odd lot theory, exuberance, unreasonable.
