【Thursday Special】Are You Second Buffett or Antie Cathie? FOMO or YOLO?

Hey Tigers!

Welcome to this week's Thursday Special! Today's topic is to measure your risk appetite.

There are five types of personal risk appetite:

The investor who sleeps peacefully every night: Protecting the principal from loss and maintaining the liquidity of assets are the primary goals. Never believe in luck, only in ability.

FOMO investor: stability is an important consideration, hoping to get a certain amount of return on the basis of the safety of the principal. Buy or not buy? Sell or not sell? The opportunity slip away...

Feel like the second Warren Buffett: Desire to have high investment returns, but not want to bear large risks; the pursuit of long-term benefits, and steady growth.

“Aunt Cathie” Investor: Focuses on the short-term appreciation of investments. Often takes some action to improve investment returns and is willing to take a large amount of risk to do so. Usually don't forget to leave a way out for themselves.

YOLO Investor: Highly motivated to increase the value of their capital and willing to accept the possibility of large fluctuations in exchange for the possibility of high growth. Never been afraid.

Most people in different situations are likely to have different types of risk appetite. Maybe yesterday you were sleeping well, today is YOLO investor~ Let's talk about what type of investor you are and what happened. 

Share your story with us in the comment section, including what type of investor and your experiences. No coins for the exact same experience.

    I'm Stylo investor.
    Buy all the hot stocks.
    Pretend that they are all green.
    Look calm and cool when they are red.
    Pray silently that in 10 years, they will be alright. [Cool]

    I think I‘m a careful YOLO if there’s such a thing🤣 My main goal in investing is Capital Preservation but at the same time I’m highly motivated to increase my profits and am willling to accept large fluctuations In Exchange for High Growth❣️ I don’t believe in luck, hence my intensive research. I will try risky stocks like inversed and leveraged ETFs but am quick to sell at breakeven if needed so that I don’t make any loss. I research, come up with a plan, execute and assess my performance regularly so that I can quickly learn and adapt different methods to trade leveraged ETFs effectively😉

      I was told buy index and you be rich in my 20s. I 😆 and turn out to be my biggest mistake. Like any 20s, we are YOLO / FOMO and I'm weak in TA. Thus my friends, $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ is very cheap now. DAC and buy more at bargain aka news said market crashes [Tongue]

    Different time call for different risk appetite, so need to sometime FOMO, sometime YOLO. Not only just these 2, sometime you also need to FOBO, MOMO, FOMOMO, FOJI, BROMO, SLOMO, and JOMO too. [LOL] [Facepalm]

    🌟🌟🌟Like the story of Tortoise and the Hare, I am the slow and steady kind of investor.  It means taking small steps in investing by dollar cost averaging into plain vanilla ETFs and quality stocks.  

    I truly believe that slow and steady investments over time is a great way to build wealth and achieve my goal of FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early.

    Time in the market to me is far more important than trying to time the market to allow the magic of compounding to happen.  It also allows me to sleep very well at night too.  Iam definitely not a Fast and Furious kind of investor making big bets and hope to be an instant millionaire.  Patience and Fortitude is the way for me.

    💚💚 Life is short. YOLOFOMO is most likely me. I came to the stock market to maximize the potential of my money. Othetwise i might as well put it all in T-bills or other safe haven. So i place a big percentage of the money in high dividend but less fluctuations stocks to play safe. I use the smaller portion of capital for the high growth stock and go YOLO - i call it rollercoaster rides! Thats where I becomes FOMO because i sometimes need to time the market in addition to financial analysis of the stocks i am interested to buy or target to sell. After the process of FOMO, i am nack to YOLO.

    Part 2-Unless you have the investment number. Risk and Return is a very good lesson.

    If I can return to my 20s I will research WB, play like CW and some will be FOMO and YOLO,  [USD] grow smaller as we aged. The earlier you reap return and reinvest you get more at the end.

    WB - Solid company with constant hugh return aka  $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ buy at crisis

    CW - Tech funds $Nasdaq(NDAQ)$ , biggest growth, good to buy at start of economy cycle every 9 yrs and dump end of economy, interests hurts tech, every ounce is invest, left no dividends for you.

    YOLO -  GME & Bitcon are probably the good eg of our generation, if you can spot them.

    FOMO - Most lost their money here Trading is always TA & Investing is always FA. If you don't have life  investment number, the traders love you very much. FA or TA, watch the cycle, be on the right side and understand the risks and return, returns must always be higher than risks, else you better risk the same money on gambling table.

    I think our age n investment objectives guide us in the type of investor we are and the risk reward ratio we like to take. In my younger days I have twin goals, to make more money to buy consumer goods. So I am more like FOMO and also like second Buffett, invest for long terms, as long as more than a decade or two, reaping capital gains n dividends.
    Since joining tigers, I am more opportunistic, hunting for immediate prey or gains, given little commission payable. It is fun and full of excitement. These are spare cash, so I can still sleep soundly whether it is up or down. So situation has made me into another type of investor.

    I do not follow Buffet or Cathie in my investment journey. I trade my own book and do my due diligence before trading a stock. Never fear of missing out (FOMO) as you should wait for the right opportunity as per your book. Yes, you only live once (YOLO) but you live through many "lives" in trading. The ups and downs are part of your trading journey. Just enjoy your ttades! [Happy]

    Part 1- This must be the trick question of the Year [LOL] Many of us here realised it [Tongue]

    I'm now more of 2nd Warren Buffet, was YOLO in 18s, FOMO in 20s & 30s,  Cathy Wood is my 40s. [Silence] Opps Now you know my age.

    Nevertheless, we should change as our maturely to investing. Neither right or wrong, each has it strengths and weakness. When I chance upon Character Profiling, I realised and understand why my type switch so get one done as early

    18s - 20s, FOMO, YOLO or CW is no "brainer" especially today youngsters. WB seem old and slow, Early adult who is not fast especially we have first taste of money, freedom, leisure it can bring us. WB is simply oute (Unless you are like me INFJ)

    Late 20s & 30s, YOLO, FOMO become comes as house, family all need $. CW tech seems logical, fast return as in digital is the way of world.

    40s WB & CW looks good, either we have more to invest or fear of lost career to play catch up games for retirements.

    I think I am MOOD + FOMO investor. I will like to buy some stock that are trendy (or suddenly have feeling for it, kind like buying lottery) and few specific personal stock (when the price dip or lower, I will buy in some, long hold and never sell such as $Coca-Cola(KO)$, I like the dividend). I wont monitor the stock daily because it is like my saving(the dividend is higher than bank interest) . Sometime I will sell some of it if I need money.

    No matter your type, you'll sleeps peacefully if you invest your excess.
    I separate my funds for several type of investment.
    For my long term investment, I choose by the fundamentals and look what the world need in the future.
    For my short-medium investment, you don't have a choice, you must hear and feel the market - think the current trend and do like the aunty Cathie.

    I believe there are more types of investors out there. Like those who trade for a different time frames , different purposes , different risk appetite and different approaches. Even different habits will have different trading patterns. For me, being able to let go is very very important . Am learning that everyday … i loves to buy stocks but do not know how to sell. Lol… many stocks goes up and ur happy but in the end when turning down and turn red have to cut profits or even became losses. … so i guess i am a Horder investor.

    I am a mix of Warren Buffett and Ark Funds Catherine Wood. The main part of my investing is locked away long term, and then my Tiger Brokers account is the more aggressive one chasing higher yields and riskier investments. But over time the auto invest should build up a more stable portfolio, so I can sleep well at night. Using leverage, but aim for no more than 1.20 in the longer run. Good things takes time. Most speculators and traders end up loosing in the long run. You can't beat a good 😊 index fund !

    preferring the Warren Buffett style and that what I aim to do. well, please note the difference in the capital owned makes a lot of differences 😅.
    I aim to gain more in the long term by letting go more fun in present time. Just a couple of fun thing in the present to give room for more fun things in the future. A stable growth with protection to the capital owned is what makes us happy, able to live longer and able to enjoy the life due to good psychology.

    I used to be FOMO but now I know that sometimes the insiders would manipulate the price and by the time the stock is getting noticed, the earlier batch of people has already exit with handsome return... and my technical analysis skills sucks [LOL]
    I'm often in a loss because, when I bought some stocks and they are in green so I kept it for growth, then suddenly bad news occured to the company, like director involved in fraud, company audit issues, then I'll panic sell while the price plunges, oh my luck [Glance]
    Now I'll just invest in safer places FD, MMF, or good stable companies, going to learn from our beloved uncle Warren Buffett

    I'm dollar cost averaging on quality stocks with auto invest.  then I have my side hustle money for the opportunity to jump onto a yolo or fomo situation.  so far my fomo is the least productive. I sit trapped in a tech stock. my yolo made the most profit so far with a timely entry and exit in c3.AI. still trying to bring myself to buy put options to make more individual profit, although I don't see how buying puts helps the economy as a whole?????
