Are You Driven by FOMO? | Investing Psychology & The Christmas Trap
The end of the year brings not only sales and celebrations but also emotional chaos around money. In this episode of Loud Investing, Chanel unpacks the hidden psychology behind FOMO, from festive shopping sprees to market bubbles, and shows how the same brain chemistry drives both. She explains what really happens in your brain when dopamine takes over and how learning emotional discipline can transform both your wallet and your portfolio.
You’ll Hear Highlights On:
• The link between Holiday shopping behavior and market psychology
• How dopamine fuels impulsive decisions in both spending and investing
• Why limited time offers trigger survival responses in your brain
• The real reason FOMO keeps you chasing what is next
• Historical lessons from tulip mania and meme stocks
• How to rewire your mindset to make calm, long term decisions
Actionable Steps You Can Take Toward Your Financial Future:
Notice emotional triggers. Before making an investment, pause and name what you are feeling, for example excitement, fear, or pressure.
Create a Yes List and No List. Decide in advance what you will and will not spend on before the noise begins.
Wait seven days. If you still want it after a week and it fits your plan, go ahead, otherwise let it go.
Do a monthly portfolio wardrobe check. Review which investments still fit your goals and which you have outgrown.
Track emotional patterns. Journal what made you act impulsively and what helped you stay calm.
Key Moments within the Episode:
(00:00) Why this time of year challenges our financial discipline
(01:22) How emotional spending mirrors investor FOMO
(05:45) Why dopamine makes us chase more
(07:30) The GameStop frenzy and Black Friday effect
(08:40) Tulip mania and how hype distorts value
(10:50) What social media learned from centuries of crowd psychology
(11:45) Recognising when panic could create opportunities
(15:13) Building emotional boundaries and no FOMO rules
(16:00) Using time to your advantage, why waiting pays
