The joy of missing out on short-term investing anxiety

Recently, navigating London Heathrow Airport with a solid case of jet lag, I noticed a billboard from IG, an investment firm, that read: “From FOMO to JOMO.” As someone familiar with the concept of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), I was intrigued and initially puzzled by JOMO. It took me a moment to figure out it meant Joy of Missing Out.

After recovering from the jet lag, I did a little research and soon realized that this was more than a catchy slogan. It appears to reflect a broader shift in the thinking of a major investment firm. IG is a prominent global financial services provider known for its online trading platform, which offers a wide range of sophisticated day-trading tools. I was stunned to see it promoting a more mindful approach to trading. This is not a message I would expect from a company that has built its business on the emotions behind Fear of Missing Out.
