FOMO, or Fear of missing out, is a troubling feeling that impacts us all.

It’s the stomach-wrenching feeling on Friday night when you are so tired from the week's hard work, but all of your friends are going out.

It’s the urge to watch your favourite sporting event, even though it’s playing at a crazy hour of the night.

We all just don’t want to miss or waste potential opportunities in front of us.

And the exact same feeling applies to investing. But in investing, falling into the feeling of FOMO could have not the best impact on your portfolio.

So how do you avoid it? How do you stay cool when you’re friends are telling you to invest in the next “hot trend”?

All of that and more to come in today’s episode.

To do this, we spoke to Simran Kaur, who’s the founder of Girls That Invest, one of the fastest-growing investment podcasts in the world.

Is Stock Picking a good idea?

but picking the perfect stock to invest in isn’t easy.

And the reason behind this is simple. It’s impossible to predict with absolute certainty the direction a particular stock will move in.

Even if you’ve digested all of the information in the world about a particular company, it’s still extremely difficult to predict its stock price trajectory.

This is often why most suggest index or mutual funds because you are able to diversify the risk that a single stock brings with it.

But what if you want to “Stock Pick”? 

If you’re interested in learning more about the exact ways to mitigate risks while stock picking, this episode will be perfect for you.

To do this, we spoke to Hansi Mehrotra. She’s the Founder of Money Management India and this is her second appearance on the podcast :)

Is Momentum Investing better than Value Investing?

Conventional Wisdom tells us that we should invest in a stock, and hold it for the long term.

And while that strategy of long term investing, has been tremendously successful for so many, there are also several other philosophies that have been proven to be a great way to build your portfolio.

And it’s all about choosing a philosophy that matches your personality.

In today’s episode, we’re going to break down the fundamentals of a strategy called Momentum Investing.

We’re going to take you through What Momentum Investing Is, The Pros and the Cons of this Strategy, and how to get started if you’re interested in making this a part of your approach.

And to do this, we spoke to Alok Jain of Weekend Investing.

Debt funds seem to be somewhat of a mystery.

We’re often told about the benefits.

About how they are great vehicle for investors who are looking for steady and stable returns.

About the fact that if you have a fixed goal, debt can be a great way to achieve that goal.

And while all of that is true, it’s really important to learn how exactly debt funds work, to truly decide whether they should be a part of your portfolio.

And to do this we spoke to Abhishek Bisen, who’s a Sr Executive Vice President & Fund Manager at Kotak Mutual Fund.

BUT, when our portfolios aren’t looking too great, we often attribute the  losses to “bad luck” or “the down market”

This is fundamentally because, as humans, we have inherent biases, that prevent us from seeing the absolute truth of why things happen.

Now, if you’re able to understand these biases, and truly analyze whether your recent performance has been through luck or skill, you will have a mindset edge over everybody else investing in the stock market.

How do you build that mindset edge? How do you minimize the element of luck and maximize your skill when it comes to investing?

And to do this, we spoke to Harish Krishnan, who’s a senior fund manager at Kotak Mahindra

Everyday, we get told by famous investors that “Diversification of your portfolio is important”

And everyday, we take in that message and continue to follow that advice.

But rarely do we hear why diversification is so important for the growth of our money.

Rarely are we walked through specific examples of the exact risks of an undiversified portfolio.

All of that changes, in today’s episode of the Where’s My Money Podcast.

To understand the perfect levels of diversification for all age groups, and to understand the risks that come with a lack of diversification, we spoke to Jayant Pai, who works for PPFAS Mutual Fund.

Humans are such an interesting species.

We’ve been able to survive and prosper through so many difficult periods in history.

Through Ice-Ages, Heat Waves, Predator Attacks, famins and so much more, we’re still here.

And so many of the survival instincts that have led us through these difficult periods in history, have been deeply ingrained into our subconscious mind, to help us make fast and instinctual decisions.

But, some of these strengths that have got us to where we are today, are actually flaws when it comes to investing.

Because they create psychological biases, that prevent us from making the right decisions at the right time.

And in this episode of the Where’s My Money podcast, we explore the question. Should we ignore our gut instinct and follow formulas to make our investment decisions?

To explore this, we spoke to Rukun Tarachandani, who’s a VP at PPFAS Mutual Fund.

On this podcast, we’ve referenced Warren Buffet several times.

And how can you not? He’s one of the greatest investors of all time, and there’s a ton to learn from his wisdom.

And as you probably already know, Warren Buffet’s major principles of investing come from the ideas of value investing and long term investing.

By long term investing, we essentially mean that you buy a particular stock that you really love, which could be because of a plethora of reasons, and then you hold it for a long period of time, in the hopes that it will continue to exponentially compound and grow.

It sounds pretty smart and it’s clearly worked for Warren Buffet and a ton of other famous investors.

But is there more to this story? Have we prematurely set this philosophy as the gold standard for investing without deeply analyzing if it’s always effective for everybody?

To explore this, we spoke to Anand K. Rathi, who’s the Founding Partner at Augment Capital. And this is actually his second appearance on the Where’s My Money Podcast.
