Fear can be a powerful emotion that can cripple an investor’s ability to make sound investment decisions. Whether it’s fear of losing money, fear of missing out on potential gains, or fear of messing up, this emotion can lead to indecision and inaction in the market. How can investors overcome their fear of making investment decisions?
“Dialing up the FOMO (fear of missing out) isn’t a great technique for moving people forward. Clients are concerned about the FOMU (the fear of messing up). They’re less concerned about missing out on a golden opportunity. They’re concerned about making a decision that doesn’t pan out and having it reflect poorly upon them.” ~ Matt Dixon
