Peak FOMO, Really?

The negative mood spreading in the investment community has a curious counterforce: FOMO, or fear of missing out, on the next uptick in asset values. While many investors think, “This can’t last” and “It will turn out badly,” they continue to pump money into assets, perhaps underestimating the power of the same capital they continue to invest. Analysts suggest that markets are “more fragile” than FOMO investors recognize. By examining investments in various markets, we infer that the sheer quantity of investable capital could well circumvent the negative effects of any economic slowdown and continue to spur increases in certain assets into the future.  We have written, “There’s a lot resting on assets.” Now we add, “And assets have a lot resting on a tidal wave of capital.”
