FOMO - Fear of Missing Out is the frantic urge to buy into a trend because everyone else is getting rich, driven by emotion, hype & fear of missing out.
FAFO - Find Out - is the moment of reckoning. It is what happens when the hype meets reality & the consequences of reckless decisions or overvaluations finally hit the fan.
FAFO is the consequence phase of the FOMO phase.
A good example of this is $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
While OpenAI is the brain of the AI movement, NVIDIA is an example of the FOMO to FAFO pipeline.
FOMO Phase : In 2023 to 2024, NVIDIA stock became super hot. The focus was on growth.
FAFO Phase: NVIDIA is currently the biggest candidate for FAFO. If Big Tech like Microsoft, Meta decide that their big investments are not yielding profits, they may cut NVIDIA's orders.
If NVIDIA's earnings are not good enough, it may trigger a selloff.
