Yes it can be applied.
If an investor is pessimistic that a certain risk that they fear will occur, they avoid investing in the fields prone to the risk. 
For example, if an investor is offered an opportunity in the oil and flammable fuels and the persons dreads fire, that person declines the offer no matter how viable it is.
