The Adventures of FOMO Man: Overcoming the Fear of Missing Out in the Stock Market

In today's world, the stock market is a game of cat and mouse, and investors are feeling the pressure to play offense and defence simultaneously. With the economy at a crossroads, there is a growing fear of missing out on a potential stock-market rally while avoiding the risk of losing everything. This fear has given birth to a new superhero: FOMO Man, who is ready to tackle the stock market and overcome the fear of missing out. But who is FOMO Man, and what does he stand for?

FOMO Man, whose real name is Freddy, is an ordinary guy who works in a cubicle in a nondescript office building. But, like many others, he is tired of watching from the side lines and is eager to dive into the stock market. Freddy's journey to becoming FOMO Man began when he overheard his co-workers talking about their investments in Tesla, Apple, and Amazon. Suddenly, he felt a pang of regret for not having invested in these companies earlier.

This feeling of regret led Freddy to become FOMO Man, a superhero whose mission is to overcome the fear of missing out. Armed with a laptop, a calculator, and a cup of coffee, FOMO Man navigates through the stock market, always on the lookout for the next big thing. He spends his days analysing charts and graphs, reading financial reports, and listening to stock market podcasts.

FOMO Man's first investment was in a company that manufactured a device that would make it easier for people to cook bacon. The device was called the "Baconator," and it promised to revolutionise the way people cooked bacon. FOMO Man was convinced that the Baconator would be a hit and invested all of his savings in the company. Unfortunately, the Baconator turned out to be a dud, and FOMO Man lost all of his money.

But FOMO Man did not give up. He learned from his mistake and started investing in companies that had a proven track record of success. He invested in Apple, Tesla, and Amazon, just like his co-workers. He also invested in companies that were involved in emerging technologies, such as self-driving cars and artificial intelligence. Over time, FOMO Man's investments paid off, and he began to see a steady return on his investments.

However, FOMO Man's success did not come without its challenges. He had to overcome the fear of missing out on potential profits, which sometimes caused him to make impulsive investment decisions. He had to learn to be patient and wait for the right opportunities to come along. He also had to learn to manage his risk by diversifying his portfolio and not putting all of his eggs in one basket.

FOMO Man's story is a cautionary tale for all investors. The stock market is a risky business, and the fear of missing out can cloud our judgment and lead us down a dangerous path. But, like FOMO Man, we can overcome our fears and become successful investors by being patient, doing our research, and managing our risk.

Beyond the Grounds of Morality (On the Charlie Hebdo issue)

A drawing of two men (one dressed as a traditional Muslim and the other being the artist himself) exhibiting homosexuality by a slobbery kiss was beyond the grounds of morality. The extremist attack on the French satirical magazine company last Wednesday happened for a particular reason – offense was given (humorously) and offense was taken (seriously).

As a student of Journalism, I considerably understand and believe that the freedom of expression is a fundamental right of every human being (regardless of race, gender, religion, etc.). However, it is important to take notice on the reality that this freedom, if not controlled, could lead to horrendous effects.

The extremist attack last Wednesday is one of these horrendous effects. It is an eye-opener (and a possible warning) that expression of opinions through criticism and mockery is a gasoline poured into a bonfire in the middle of the woods - when the fire spreads, all the woods burn, devouring even life itself.

Yes, journalists have the authority to spread the truth. Agreeably, journalists possess the power to express their opinions to the public. Indeed, journalists can do so much more than facing reality and administering to the lives of the people in the society. But this role does not give power for journalists to discriminate the beliefs of other groups of people. Most especially offending their religion just because of the social stereotypes labeled upon them.

The satirical drawings made by the artists in Charlie Hebdo have gone too far. They may have drawn them for the purpose of expressing their opinions about the growing Muslim population in Europe (or in France for reasons of specificity) or about the malevolent acts done by terrorists or rebel groups, but they have not known that they have already offended the Muslim people as a whole. Did they not know how sacrilegious (for the Islamic faith) it was to draw a Muslim man kissing another man and exhibiting homosexuality? Did they not even consider that Muslims take grave offense on such a degrading act?

In the Philippines, it is stated under the Journalist’s Code of Ethics that, “I (a journalist) shall not, in any manner, ridicule, cast aspersions on, or degrade any person by reason of sex, creed, religious belief, political conviction, cultural and ethnic origin.” The satirical drawings in Charlie Hebdo (even though France might not have any similar code) have already violated this rule.

I’m a Christian and I also take grave offense upon those that mock my belief. I am steadfast in my beliefs and I hold onto my faith. I respect other people’s belief even though their belief does not coincide with mine. But that doesn’t give me any particular reason to mock, criticize, or discriminate what they believe in. I have faith in the God who loves. And through His love, I acquire the compassion to grow in my faith and respect others – to love others as Christ loves me.

***

The freedom of expression, although it is free, has its limits. People, most especially those in the media, need to establish certain limitations. My mom always reminds me that when I can’t say anything nice, it’s best if I don’t say anything at all. Furthermore, journalists need to find ways to cease the habit of highlighting differences and stereotypes, and instead, unionizing diversity through peace in order to achieve prosperity in our society.

"May you live all the days of your life." —Jonathan Swift (satirist, Ireland, 17th/18th cent.)

Even if you are alive, you might not be living. Everyday, every single day, I try to do something that I truly want, that will better myself and the people around me. Some days, I am simply relaxing, and recharging my mind and my body, while others I am much more active, meeting new people and experiencing new places and things. But whatever it is, seeing a movie, hiking up a mountain, or drinking a glass of water, I try to fully experience it for what it is.
