RE: The lies we tell ourselves - the fear of missing out (fomo)

in #psychology7 years ago

The problem is when you're investing more than you can afford to lose. That's when FOMO blurs the line between itself and addiction. I think those that do get-rich-quick are more lucky than anything else, and often have a lot more capital to play with, making it easier to diversify their portfolio to minimise risk.
