  • Summary

  • In the this episode, we dive into the evolving landscape of investment sentiment as the spectre of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) returns to the market. Despite pervasive concerns of an imminent recession and the anticipation of falling interest rates, the Smart Money and Soothsayers have been proven wrong (again) as the economy remains resilient, and interest rates stabilize. We explore the recent trends where many investors, having sat out the bull run due to fear, are now witnessing the S&P and other indexes reach new highs, sparking a renewed sense of FOMO. The podcast addresses the personal investment strategies that have leaned towards fixed income, reaping benefits, while also acknowledging the missed opportunities in technology sectors, particularly in FAANG stocks, which were a profitable venture in the previous year. The episode discusses the psychological challenges of investing, including the biases and groupthink that can influence decision-making, and the occupational hazards of chasing trends. We delve into the importance of sticking to one's core investing ideology, focusing on wealth-creating companies selling for cheap and being disciplined, patient, and ready to endure the discomfort that comes with long-term investment strategies. Additionally, the podcast provides insights into current investments that may be out of favour but hold potential for future rewards. There's also a discussion on the bond market and the strategy to handle potential shifts in interest rates. Tune in to understand how to navigate the emotional roller coaster of FOMO investing, make uncomfortable but potentially rewarding decisions, and remain faithful to your investing principles for long-term success.
