Thumbs up FOMO or Loss (large drawdown with long recovery). Next 2 replies.

Fair point and almost always the case, but which fear is greater right now for most investors?

I think FOMO is greater for most but wondering how others feel about it.

In my opinion, it comes down to this…are you an investor or are you a trader?

If you are an investor either hold your position or jump in. There are way too many equities that are dirt cheap. As an example…NVDA.

And as I said, it is just my opinion.

Based on the results so far 10-1, investors think most other investors are fearing loss right now. Yet the S&P is only down 7% YTD. Interesting.

Obviously there is fear in the market but seems that it isn't as widespread as most think (at least not yet).

Completely depends on where you are in your plan and time horizon.

I dont give a damn about FOMO. We have a plan and work the plan. Market downturn is way more relevant and should be.
