Discuss how these behavioral biases could influence an active equity investing strategy. In your response, address the following aspects:

  1. Identify and explain at least two behavioral biases that can negatively impact investor decision-making.
  2. Describe how these biases might manifest in the stock market and affect stock prices.
  3. Outline actionable strategies that you could implement to mitigate the impact of these biases on your investment process.

Provide examples where relevant, and structure your response clearly to demonstrate your understanding of behavioral considerations in active equity investing.
