Key insights
- A young retail investor expresses FOMO due to the current bull market and limited capital. They are employing a DCA strategy into riskier, low-priced individual stocks. The post reflects the sentiment of some new investors who feel they missed earlier opportunities, but also acknowledges the risks involved and the importance of starting somewhere. This sentiment, if widespread, could indicate a late-stage bull market fueled by inexperienced investors.
Is being born too damn late to start investing…like damn I should have started investing out of womb with my chore money or something.
Jokes aside, this bull market is making me feel MASSIVE FOMO because I just got out of college and I can only invest so much with my limited income. I DCA ($50/week) in my personal brokerage account after my monthly Roth(etfs)/emergency fund allocations, so i choose to invest in riskier individual stocks with a go big and hopefully don’t go home mindset (moonshot hopefuls like NBIS/ASTS/ONDS/something with a lower share price bc buying fractional shares doesn’t hit the same if you know what I mean). But seeing some of these skyrocket in the past couple days meanwhile me over here, having only been able to DCA a meager $5-10/week per stock. Even if they were bought at big dips/lows, +100% of 5 is still only 10 and makes me nonstop think about the what-ifs like if I was born earlier and had more time to make money/invest. The only comfort I have is that the market isn’t normal rn or that I could have just as easily invested in something that crashes and burns too.
But I guess we all have to start from somewhere…Anyways hope everyone’s investing journey is full of wins and let’s all not retire at 75 if we can help it
